“Come and see!” I yelled quietly to Gary as I was standing in our kitchen and looking out the window.  Sitting on a post of our porch was a young hawk.  Through the winter months we have hung cages containing suet on either side of our portico.  We tried to put them somewhere so that the pesky squirrels wouldn’t get the food.  Somehow those...
