got a lot accomplished today--not everything I'd intended, but most of it.
also positively identified the hawks out in the forest as Cooper's hawks, three of them! they were doing the whistling juvenile call that first got my attention, then one of them did--a juvenile imitation of an adult call, which I recognized. when I used my birding app to play the adult Cooper's hawk call back at them they all got VERY EXCITE and there was much rustling and whistling. I was grinning like a loon. :D
also got replacement/supplemental green hair dye, which I'll be messing with probably this week, because I need my green back dammit, and that "arctic fox" stuff wasn't hacking it. :P
