My mother has an enormous hawk that has adopted her backyard this summer and whenever I go over there to mow the lawn, I encounter him. I’ve heard that there is an endangered hawk species common to this area which is making a come back.

I saw an American Bald freaking Eagle there last year.

In my family, animal omens are a big deal, even among those “not so spiritually inclined” as me. I’ve been telling my mother about the hawk for weeks and she finally saw it — when she was with me.

The hawk must be communicating with me, something about my connection to home, in particular. I’ve been trying to “translate” the sightings now all summer, so thanks again!
