  1. I rarely saw them when I was a kid. Now, they're everywhere. Which is great, as I love to see them, especially when they're on the nest and peeking over the edge. Beautiful birds.

  4. The 2-2 talon configuration seems like it would work much better than the 3-1.

  5. We had a mating pair nest in the Norfolk Pine in our front yard a couple of years ago. The hatchlings were louder than I would’ve expected.

  6. When going fishing, it's best to use the right hooks.
