Bonus Mystery Solved
Who killed Cock Robin?
It was I, said the Red-shoulder.
Before I got much older.
Background: Rob Fanning reported seeing an immature Red-shouldered Hawk "feasting" on a robin Saturday. I photographed this bird Sunday near the scene of the crime. Case closed.
Congrats to Tom Burr for solving this whodunit, albeit with different doggerel.

This is why living in a farm is so great. Besides heavy equipment, day to day chores, the stress of finding clients, there are also the simple pleasures of life:)
