Manassas Eagle fly by

We drove over to the Manassas Eagle nest this morning. One was sitting low in the nest, hopefully keeping an egg (or eggs) warm. The other was perched on a tree limb but unfortunately flew off as soon as we parked. We waited a while to see if it would come back but it wasn't meant to be today.

Bye Bye Bao Bao

Bao Bao, the giant panda from National Zoo, left Washington DC for China yesterday. My office happens to view of the toll road the FedEx truck took to get to Dulles Airport so we were able to watch as it passed by. A whole group of us waved bye bye to Bao Bao as she passed by.

Funny shaped fence post

I looked out my back window this morning and thought ... that post looks awful wide ... then I realized it was a hawk. It was clearly looking for breakfast. Every time a smaller bird flew in to one of my feeders, it would get in a crouch stance, ready to pounce.
