Pale Male

Luke and Michael have recently become very interested in birds of prey. Luke says he'd like to become a falconer one day. His current favorite bird is a hawk, so we checked this book out from the library:

 Then I found some photos of Pale Male, who is still alive and well and living on 5th Ave. in NYC. Here he is with his mate in 2009.

 Imagine the boys' surprise when they went out one evening and found these two perched in our play structure!

Luke named his Pale Male and Michael named his Hawky. Thank you Westerville Central High School for having the Warhawk as your mascot and for stocking the local Kroger with stuffed hawks!
