Where's David Attenborough when you need him?

I'm at my parents' house in RI. Just a minute ago, there was a hawk sitting on the lawn in front of the house, eating a snake. How cool is that? He was there for ages, and my father took a bunch of pictures. It was amazing.

It must be weird animal day in Rhode Island. I just got off the phone with my dad and he apparently had a 90 minute battle last night with -of all things - a flying squirrel! I immediately thought of you. =) The think apparently ran across his lap while he was snoozing last night. He thought it was a mouse... but then he chased it up the curtains and realized that mice don't climb curtains. He proceeded to chase it through several rooms in the house and finally caught it in a wastebasket. He threw a pillowcase over it and flung it outside. Before he could get the door closed, the thing flew right past him and back into the house! He finally got rid of the thing awhile later!

Sure it was a squirrel? They can't fly under their own power, only glide.

A bat, maybe? Think I'd prefer the squirrel...

Glide is exactly what it did... from tall furniture to curtains down to the floor. It was a little larger than a chipmunk with furry, gill-looking things. Definitely a flying squirrel. I didn't realize that they were native to New England.

I love Sir David and "Life of Birds" - he's so cool! It must have been amazing to watch...
