I first caught sight of this guy in early spring (he/she lives & hunts along my driveway) but was to far off for me to get any good images.

I didn't have any more sightings until August 1st , the day my wife Stacy went into labour.

However, the above images where taken the day my son Parker was born, August 2nd & are by the far the best ones I took.

Funny, I haven't had a sighting since...
