Denis and I were having tea in the backyard around 3:00, wondering if we might see the young deer again and all of a sudden a hawk swooped down and landed on a tree branch just 5 feet off the ground. He was right next to us! Maybe 25 feet away in a birch tree. The green leaves in the foreground are to top of a hydrangea bush. Before we saw him we heard his wings as he flew down. We sat motionless, afraid to even move an arm, knowing he&#8217;d fly away as fast as he landed. And I didn&#8217;t have my camera! &#8220;I have to try,&#8221; I said to Denis, &#8220;because the camera is just inside the door.&#8221; So I very slowly slid out of my chair and moved towards the door. I opened the door and it creaked a little and I was afraid to look back, knowing the noise would scare him away. But he stayed. I got my camera and slowly came back outside, in disbelief that he was still there and so close. \u00a0I was so thrilled to get this photo. He stayed for about 5 minutes and then his giant wings opened up and he was gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had the most amazing thing happen yesterday.
