Giant Bird in my Backyard

Dear Readers,

The other morning I went in the backyard and saw a giant bird standing on the wall. The bird was huge! I had never seen a bird like it before in my neighborhood.



After a moment, the bird flew away.

(The lemon tree and grapefruit tree I planted last spring are also in the picture. One of these days they're going to be huge and produce a ton of fruit, but for now they're really small.)



Then the bird landed on one of my neighbors' rooftops. He stood there a while, looking this way and that.


I looked at him for a little while, and then he flew off again.

It was amazing. What kind of bird is it? I don't know. Do any of you know? Did he come to your house?

Whatever he is, I hope he comes back. I like him. On the other hand, I understand that birds are free, and they rightfully go wherever they want to go.

Sincerely,
Telemoonfa
