Our front patio area can be exciting ...

I've had a Red Tail hawk swoop down and try to scare me (it did.)

A wild turkey took off from behind a bush and barely cleared my head and left me covered with feather parts.

A turkey vulture decided to plop down right next to me and eat another bird. I did not ask for a taste nor did it offer.

And we have Red Shoulder hawks aplenty flying through the trees.
