It turned out our hawk was a falcon, best we can tell, but we can't identify its exact species. Nothing we could find had a tan head and spotted back. The closest we could find was a peregrine falcon, which would be completely cool, but that wasn't an exact match, either. We're out of its normal range, but that doesn't necessarily rule it out. The fact that it's endangered makes it unlikely, though.
Also on Sunday, we found a surprise in one of our Christmas boxes when we were putting away our decorations. We don't know who was more surprised, the little guy or us. We let him loose back in the basement to eat our spiders. Besides, we like seeing lizards in our basement. They're cute, and as far as we know, they don't do any harm.
