Old Dork Yells at Clouds

According to our friends at Cornell University, this is a red-tailed hawk.

You might know it better from media, as whenever someone needs a sound of a raptor, they use the cry of a red-tailed hawk. Thanks, Wingspan. I did not hear it make a noise, as it was too busy eating a field mouse that it found.

This was in the yard of Little Dork's best friend, so after the hawk was done with their business, the two kids investigated the scene of the mouse murder. A barefoot Little Dork decided that the best course of action was to stick her barefeet into the mouse carcass to investigate. Two disinfecting wipes later, the only lesson learned from the forensic investigation was that sticking your barefeet into a mouse carcass is gross.
