30 days, disconnected phones and a hawk...

(SHS Photo)
...after 30 days, back again!
...the time was spent wisely-
-pounding the phone-and listening.
-blasting out emails-then waiting for the replies.
-turning the corporate piggy bank upside down - and asking for some tape
to put nickels together to make dimes.
One day after about 30 phone calls,-28 messages and 2 disconnects-
I met my new friend as I slouched into the kitchen to get coffee.
Staring right at me. Sitting on the deck railing.
He heard me and flew off.
But every day, looking for him kept me going.
That, and coffee.
He came back three times this month.
Last time, he let me open the patio door,
and walk to within two feet of him,
eye to eye.
I blinked.
He was gone.
I am gonna keep looking for him.

    They are one of my favorite birds and no matter how many times I see one I stop and enjoy the view. Thanks for sharing

    What a terrific photo and commentary.  I've been missing you here on AR but knew you were alive as I see you Twittering during the day.  Isn't Kawasaki the best!?

    Terry -

    Thanks for stopping by. It is really a miracle to live next to a river with so much wildlife along it!

    Steve, the hawk seems to be interested in you and you might want to be careful.

    Aloha Steve,

    Ancient Hawaiians would have considered your visit with IO to be a major blessing, foretelling divine fortune in your future. IO or the hawk represents the very best. May your blessings multiply.

    Peace,

    ...may the good fortune that comes my way be shared with all my family and friends.

     

    Me ka `oia`i`o,

    No I really do have a headache.  I am not sure if it is from real estate or my kids.

    That would be so cool to be so close to such a cool animal. Love hawks and eagles and can just watch them for hours and sometimes when my fishing trips aren't going so well, I get just that chance.

    Todd,

     

    ..I agree with you ...I have been seeing a lot more hawks along the river that I have been catching fish!

     

    Thanks for stopping by,
