English, anyone? They are the smallest member of the hawk family in Japan. About the same size as pigeons, but with bigger heads and smaller bodies. They make really piercing screeching noises. And in addition to frogs and crickets on our trees (and umbrellas), they also impaled a fairly large lizard on our TV antenna, which is just going to have to stay there. <br /><br />Thank you, Illahee, I was proud of that photo. Trying to portray the beginning of spring, children, and gardening in, without any faces is a challenge. Recently, we are all about bubbles and sidewalk chalk.Xanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455990012935032853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269231913719593382.post-63210680857146985102010-03-08T16:03:24.830+09:002010-03-08T16:03:24.830+09:00i love your new header photo. excellent!i love your new header photo. excellent!illaheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08109064612619771372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269231913719593382.post-61702887498216687722010-03-07T23:16:33.456+09:002010-03-07T23:16:33.456+09:00Oh wow.
