On our way home from our last beach walk, mom noticed something sitting on top of a monument in a small cemetery we pass -- she thought it was an owl.

She turned the car around, drove back, & got out for a closer look -

Nope, not an owl. So regal!

At this point he (or she) got a little nervous, so mom backed off & returned to the car, where she'd left us trapped inside. Harumph!
Its a thrill to see a magnificent raptor up close like that.

Mom's gotten used to seeing magnificent predators up close -
she sees us every day, ha-roo roo roo!
We have a high wind warning, which sounds like it could be pretty exciting outside , as long as it doesn't include rain too. Maybe we'll see our new raptor friend fly by real fast!
have a fun weekend -
jack & moo

Beautiful flying raptor but gorgeous furry ones there too. We see glen eagles here all the time but they are a lot smaller. Have a fun weekend, hope the wind subsides.

You two are the BEST predators. Hope you get to hunt something ....... but you probably shouldn't mess with THAT birdie.

PS: Do Siberians have a high prey drive? Or is that a high PLAY drive? I keep getting confused. Ha woo!
My mum would have been excited to see that raptor too. Only he looks bigger than me.
ReplyDeletePretty cool! But I agree, you two are such awesome, beautiful predators! But the pics are still pretty cool! Go, Mom, for her keen eye!
ReplyDeleteGreat find - the raptors are some of my favorites to watch. They are so intense and graceful. Poor bunnies though ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat, cool photos, but we think the best one is of your sweet faces, handsome Jack and beautiful Moo!...Hope you sweet friends are enjoying a fun weekend...kisses...Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteCool pic of the falcon!
