Update

It's been over a month since I posted on my Blog...I've gotten caught up in this Facebook rat-race and I haven't been true to myself...instead of doing less and simplifying I've gotten sorta addicted to FB....I'm really thinking about dumping the whole thing because it just takes up too much of my time....yes it's MY fault....I haven't had time to read or spin much wool and that needs to change! I have had some time outside with the good weather. I got to trim back some of the shrubs around the house and also keep my eyes to the sky, because it's birding season and some of the migrants are passing through. We do have our fields filled with Canada Geese and it's been fun to watch the Acorn Woodpeckers storing up nuts in the dead standing trees...

I've gotten to go over to the cabin once...on the way over I took a few pictures of a Hawk...I sent the picture out to a few people and got some different answers, then I opened up my Sibley Field Guide and just really thought that this was for sure an immature Red Tail....I finally sent out an email to Jeff Harding, an experienced Oregon Birder...this was his answer....

Yvonne,
This is certainly a Buteo (the group including Red-tailed Hawks), not a falcon or accipiter such as a Cooper’s Hawk. Buteos can be difficult though, especially juveniles. The in-flight photo shows the hawk with long, narrow wings, like a Swainson’s Hawk, but the light patch on the end of the wings is a field mark for juvenile Red-tailed Hawks. The perched bird is pretty clearly a young Red-tailed Hawk, with the streaked belly and light chest, so I think you are right, that it is a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk.
Nice photos – thanks for sending them along.
Good Birding,
Jeff

so I'm really missing the cabin and want to get back to my new loom...I started a new saddle blanket a few visits ago, but really need to spend a bunch of time and just get my head into it!

...this is a stand of Aspen near the cabin....there are beautiful stands of Aspen all over the Fort Klamath and Chiloquin area.
