Neighborhood Critters

Yesterday morning, Evelyn spotted this red-tailed hawk in the forest across the street. We think it's the same one we commonly see in the leafless trees (and pictured on October 27th). You can tell that it was a chilly morning because the bird is all puffed out.And this morning, we spotted this squirrel on our back deck. It was about 34 degrees out, but the sun was shining. This little guy was in a sunny spot, using its tail as a blanket. Julia thought it was cute, while Rosie wanted it to move so she could stalk it.
