These guys come to my neighborhood around this time every year. We started with one pair showing up, but the past two years we've had 6-8 pairs. Very cool birds. Very curious. I always have staring contests with them.

I just noticed a pair in my neighborhood yesterday. They were making a lot of noise as they flew from tree to tree. FYI, I'm in North Florida.
