After recently taking a few shots of a pitiful looking Northern Cardinal that was going badl, it only seems fair to show off a very healthy looking one for comparison.

This fellow is looking down at the feeders as if trying to decide which one he wants to visit.

I was going to dress on Sunday, but then not very well, getting better now but for the moment here's one from last year, November as you can see. A moment of concentration as stockings are attached to suspenders.

The harp is a stringed instrument which has the plane of its strings positioned perpendicular to the soundboard. It is often said that the harp's origins may lie in the sound of a plucked hunter's bow string with the oldest depictions of harps without a forepillar are from 4000 BCE in Egypt.

The kanun is a descendant of the ancient Egyptian harp and was introduced to Europe by the Moors (Spanish Muslims) during the Middle Ages.

Sharp-shinned Hawk

Accipiter striatus

This adult was eyeing a fox squirrel on the ground barely more than a meter below it. The squirrel was almost as large as the hawk, so I'm guessing that's why it let the squirrel go. Now if one of our resident red squirrels or chipmunks had happened by, this story might have had a different ending.
