I gave my 3 weeks notice today at work. What started many years ago as a hobby, slowly turned into a secret side hustle, and since then has grown and grown into what will now be my full time job. Here's an interview I did a few months ago about it. It is funny, the stereotypes that come out of now being a cigar smoking professional sports bettor. That still feels weird to type out, and I'm not sure how this is going to impact my social life when I tell people, but I guess we'll find out.
Sitting here on Saturday am, watching what I have identified as a Cooper's Hawk, perched about 40' up in a tree, just about 30 yards away from the house. His body feathers are all puffed out, I assume because it's below 30 degrees right now, and he's keeping warm. Unfortunately, I can't get a good photo from inside, and I don't want to go outside and possibly chase him away.
Just as I was typing the above paragraph, a gray squirrel tentatively approached the hawk on the same branch, and nudged at the hawk, causing him to flit a few feet out on the branch, but he didn't fly away. Fascinating.
ETA: Here's a shot from my phone, through binoculars.

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.

A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.
