When we arrived home today around 3 p.m., Wendell looked at our house and said "There's a hawk in our screened-in porch!" Both doors were closed (one locked) and all screens in place. The bird clung to the far side until I walked over there, then he turned and flew out the door that I had propped open. There were no droppings or bird feathers anywhere on the porch so I don't think it was in there very long. After close examination, I found a small hole in the front screen that had to be his entrance to the porch. Perhaps our arrival spooked it and it tried to escape through the screens to the back yard. In winter, Wendell covers the north side with transparent plastic to cut the wind which is what prevented it from going on through. I just wish I could have seen it plow through that front screen!
