The Hawk and the Falcon

We saw a hawk, possibly red-tailed, flying around our backyard today. It was so big that it broke the branch it landed on and fell a good 15 feet before spreading its wings. It was very exciting.

Later, we finished A Streetcar Named Desire, which we'd started on the plane, and then we watched The Maltese Falcon. Both were good, but The Maltese Falcon was a little pulpy.

By the way, щасливого нового року! (for those of you who still use the Julian calendar).
