Spring must be coming

The birds are going crazy.

We got buzzed yesterday by what I think was a sharp-shinned hawk. Hard to say really, as he was moving fast and I'm not used to identifying flying hawks from above. Little bugger swooped in and actually hit Bruce with his wing before spinning off and heading away.

Then this morning, I went into the garage and there was an adult flicker (biggest one I've ever seen, I swear) circling around inside. He buzzed me 4 times before I got the door open and he flew out.

A sharp-shinned hawk? What, are they wearing bladed kneecaps or something?

Yes, exactly.
