Just don't tell the hawk the buffet is hot and ready. It was sitting in that exact spot just yesterday.

Sound on as usual for a crispy slap 🫯🥊

Today in Springfield, Virginia...

Fred ❤️ Daphne

It was a beautiful day for two mourning doves in love. 🕊️❤️ Fred and Daphne spent some quiet time together under the red umbrella, sharing a meal and a whole lot of sweet cooing.

Coo-oo, coo-oo… ❤️

Time to wash the pits!!!!
