Great bird day. King bird, Baltimore oriole, rufus-sided towhee, catbird, and a sparrow's nest. A mother cat with five kittens living near an electrical substation (employees are feeding them, and ASPCA will try to rescue them on Tuesday). Three snakes -- two garter, one I can't identify with white rings all along his black body (about the same size as the garters).
Best news of all, our mom hawk who lost her babies in a windstorm is showing signs of laying more eggs. She's rebuilt the nest, the birds have copulated frequently for two weeks, and during the past three days she's spend a great deal of time on the nest. Looked like she was going to sleep in the nest tonight.
