Joe Wins!

What a great day last week. We really lucked out on the weather, and I think the kids had a great time. I have to say that I really don't know what else to say, except that Joe Buchanan won. I didn't know there was a contest, or a prize, but regardless... Joe wins. He is truly a remarkable human. Joe, I am humbled by your skills, and your table manners.Where are the pictures?

Does anybody want to Volunteer to handle it? We can take up a

so we can figure it out.......

               Who's hosting?

It's gonna be a beautiful night!

Halloween Street Closure

We have the Petition close the street on Halloween. If you want to come by and sign it, then we won't have to come to you.

Hawk update

This is the official confirmed and witnessed sighting of at least one of our Hawks nests. I watched him browse for sticks and bring them up to the nest. By the time I got my camera, he was done. Pete....you had your chance. I also spotted 3 hawks flying high above Hamlin today. I couldn't get all three in the shot though.

Halloween

What's goin' on for Halloween? Should we close the street?

The Guttys said...

Drinks in the driveway Friday!
We were chatting tonight and thought drinks - adult and kiddie style would be fun Friday evening. Roll your coolers down to the Gutrich's driveway at about 7:30. Please pass on to non-blogging neighbors :)

Hawk Update

This morning at 8:15 I witnessed at least 2 hawks (I couldn't tell if the third was a crow)
Flying around the big elm tree.
Check the link to see what they sound like.....  Hawk sounds

Falcon?

Linda, the boys are correct. It looks like our bird is a juvenile Coopers Hawk.

Juvenile Coopers Hawk

Adult Coopers Hawk

Saw your bird today. My boys think it is a hawk...are you certain it is a falcon?

EP Wildlife Continued

This is a Coyote I saw near Klein Park a couple years ago. I chased him about four blocks, and he disappeared near Chi Tung..... Maybe he was just after some good Pad Thai. It is some of the best Asian cuisine on the South Side.

Hungry?

If anyone wants some salmon steaks.... speak up! She was caught Sunday Morning, and is going into the freezer Wednesday, so come get some, (there's plenty).

Falcon

Here's our neighborhood falcon.

His name is Beretta
He's the fastest animal in the world, and can reach
speeds in excess of 140mph
I'm pretty sure his nest is in the big elm tree
behind Linda's house. I saw a half rabbit on somebody's
lawn.
Pretty sure it was him....superbad
