I try to go out in the yard as often as possible to shoo the young groundhogs, and when I got home the other day I walked straight out back to see if I could see any to scare them off. Well, I didn't see any, but heard the familiar alarm whistle sound they make - I kept looking and looking to see where they were, and suddenly a red-tailed hawk flew out of the pine tree carrying a young groundhog, across the yard to the woods, chased by three or four smaller birds. I wouldn't have thought it was possible, but I saw it... no camera, of course.

Male winterberry, scads of flowers and tiny bees and wasps
