Spotted this guy soon after sunrise. A mockingbird came along, dive bombing and screaming to please get out of his bubble 😆 I see mockingbirds attacking crows all the time but first time seeing one go after a hawk. The hawk just moved to another post and went about his business but it was great to witness so close.

ETA - This is a red shouldered hawk (possibly a juvenile?I’m new to birding so correct me if I’m wrong) seen at Carolina Beach NC.

Hibiscus with extra petals

ChatGPT called this a mutant flower, likely from recently being moved and/or repotted. We did both recently as it was just purchased and repotted. Is this fasciation? I literally just learned this word today 😆 But am very happy to have stumbled upon this sub.
