billy is obsessed with birds, mainly hawks. we will be driving, or he will be driving i should say, down 81 doing 80 mph (because if i was driving i would be doing 67 mph) and billy will spot a hawk sitting on the top of a telephone pole in the middle of a field. "look at that hawk honey, did you see that huge hawk?" um, no. i was too busy looking at the road. i think this obsession stems for the fact that he spent countless hours in fields, around telephone poles, mainly hanging off the top of them, so he had a lot of encounters with hawks. he can even tell if one is about to find food. 
one day we were driving to clayton. on route 12 there is a huge house set way back from the road. i think it is behind the matthews farm. it has been there for years. and billy, out of the blue, says "where did that house come from?? did they just build that??" my response to that was "you can spot a hawk on the top of a pole, driving a car 80 mph but you can't see a bleepin house????" he laughed all the way to clayton. he loves it when i pull one liners like that. and i love making him laugh!!
the pictures are of an ospry nest by the nimo building in clayton. billy took them, of course. i think there are 30 of them but i am only posting a few. and the obsession continues.....
