Welcome to my backyard. This blog is about the wildlife that lives and travels through our yard in suburban Northern Virginia. The yard borders a park and has a small, man-made pond. Foxes have used the space under our deck as a den for their babies. Raccoons like to raid our compost bins, and green frogs produce tadpoles in our pond each spring. We also have deer, chipmunks, squirrels, birds, a shrew, a toad, a snake, a turtle, and even a bat.

It's impressive how close you can get. I wish my grandfather could have seen this site--he was an amateur bird expert (and raised pigeons part-time in addition to his regular job, and sold and showed them, so I guess he was a professional bird expert). He was always grabbing the binoculars to stare out the window at a bird. He would have loved this hawk video.
I wasn't that close--I was in the house, but I zoomed in a little. My dad thought the hawk in my picture with the crows was a red shouldered hawk. He said he couldn't identify this hawk, but I think it's the same one. Unfortunately the color is not as good in the videos as in the camera trap photos.
