My very soul is wedded to it,
and if I were a bird I would fly
about the earth seeking the
successive Autumns.
~George Eliot

"This Red-bellied Woodpecker
never fails to visit my feeder
everyday. When he first started
coming, he hung from underneath
in order to feed because of his
long beak....now he's learned just
how to position himself. Amazing
and such a joy to watch!"

Wishing you all a wonderful week
full of Autumn's joys!

Yum delicious foot. Close-up of a Sharp-shinned Hawk feeding. To me this foot looks as if it comes from a mourning dove..
I was walking on a small dead-end path at John Heinz NWR when crow started making a lot of noise. So I maneuvered myself at the edge of the ice at the end of the path to see what was causing the fuss.
Almost immediately this sharp-shinned hawk carrying a partially eaten meal landed within a few feet of me, then moved itself behind some branches, so I could not see much of it. At least two crows were following the hawk and landed in near-by trees watching and still making a lot of noise.
The hawk was so close to me that I had to mount my 400 mm lens on a 21mm extension tube in order to be able to focus on it. I could not back up as I was right at the edge of the ice. The hawk was aware of my presence, and when I tried to move to get a clear shot the hawk moved further behind the branches, but seemed to prefer my presence more than harassment by the crows.
Earlier in the morning I had spooked both a merlin and then a northern shrike by trying to get a clear shot so I decided to wait and see what happened.
Despite being somewhat gory it was exhilarating and interesting as I have never been so close to raptor feeding in the wild. I could not positively identify its prey by believe it was a dove.
When the hawk had finished its meal, it moved out and back then posed in a clearer spot, as if to thank me for allowing it to feed without being disturbed. The hawk was still so close that I could only just fit the body into a full frame vertical format but could not get its tail into the photo (main photograph). Blood from its meal is still visible on the talons and bill.
I have also included so some close-ups of it feeding in the comment box.
After posing for a short time the hawk did not fly away it just hopped into through the branches higher in the trees.
As I was waling away the watching crows flew down to search for any scraps that the hawk may have left.
Overall it was amazing experience to be so close to a raptor, especially as this is the first time that I have captured good photographs of a sharp-shinned hawk. I do not know why this hawk tolerated me being so close - I can speculate that it sensed that my presence may have shielded it from harassment by the crows.
Note all photographs were taken with a 400mm lens mounted on a 21 mm extension tube to be able to focus in close enough.

Continuing our Gourmet Tour. Another great place by ContraptioN.
Note: This is only a small part of the place. Don't forget to dive.
I can just read this little Anna's Hummingbirds (Calypte anna) mind as she comes into this Rose of Sharon flower. Delicious!
Not too many people for lunch inside the Restaurant ’t Kelderke, with its 17th century vaulted cellar, on Brussels’ famed Grote Markt/Grand’Place — a UNESCO World Heritage site — though the rabbit dish they served me was delicious, and so were the other local specialties enjoyed by my companions.
The sidewalk tables were all taken; I suppose the other tourists wanted to have a view of the Grand’Place while they ate, or they sat in the Estaminet upstairs.
Edit (Feb 2024) Uh-oh! The group Active for Justice is trying to get rabbit removed from all menus in the country by boycotting restaurants that serve it... They claim that the rabbits raised for consumption are being raped and tortured...

Happy New Year. May this year be as sweet as my strawberry xo
... Её харизма меня бесит. Ведь ничто так больше в голову не лезет. Наблюдаю словно пьеса. Ведь никто мне как она не интересна.

That's sweet! I do love the way my plum colored tank style lycra spandex minidress clings! It does feel delicious!
I'm wearing a purple wet look lycra spandex minidress that came in my first ever order from coquetryclothing.com! I've matched it up with my black corset style stretch belt from newportnews.com, black Hanes Alive support hose from onehanesplace.com and my black basket weave platform ankle booties with the 5" heels from fredericks.com.

The mongoose lemur originates from northern Madagascar. Its conservation status is "critically endangered." One of the zoos I serve as a volunteer is raising funds to build a lemur house, where they can be cared for, and observed by visitors, year-round.
