Red Shouldered hawk visits Ironstone Museum

We had a visitor yesterday that caused quite a stir.  After chasing a small bird into the area outside the Museum entrance, he became somewhat disoriented when the small bird flittered out through one of the small openings between the outdoor canvas weather walls leaving him trapped in the near enclosed area. He soon found his way out after we raised one of the panels giving him a very large opening to fly through.  Beautiful Red-shoulder Hawk.

The red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus) is a medium-sized hawk. Its breeding range spans eastern North America and along the coast of California and northern to northeastern-central Mexico. Red-shouldered hawks are permanent residents throughout most of their range, though northern birds do migrate, mostly to central Mexico. The main conservation threat to the widespread species is deforestation.

Two interesting pieces are the railroad lamp you see here along with a very unusual tin can which looks to be totally recycled with a different brand and product on the inside walls.
