And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

Beautiful birds. I caught one trying to get into my (completely enclosed) chicken run. He flew to a fence post a dozen feet away and sat there, calmly watching me.
My Grandmother back in the 60s called that a chicken hawk. Red tailed hawk, red shouldered hawk it didn't matter. To her they were all chicken hawks and should be dispatched.
red-shouldered hawk
