Through the mist and frosty air : the mills of Kinderdijk on a cold February morning, Zuid Holland, The Netherlands
I spotted and photographed this bird in a local willow tree today down by our village lake and I have temporarily named this little guy Hawkeye, but I am unsure exactly what it is. The colouring is mostly accurate, but on the wing area, there was an out of focus leaf or twig much closer to the camera that has given it an apparent yellowish tint on the shoulder. It was very tricky to catch an uninterrupted view through all the twigs and branches. I have managed to narrow it down to either a Brown Goshawk, or maybe a Collared Sparrowhawk. I'm leaning towards the Collared Sparrowhawk for now. Apparently the plumage and colouring on these two birds is remarkably similar, but one is much bigger than the other. This seemed fairly small to my eye, For my fellow Aussie birders, it was maybe a similar size to a rosella - perhaps even slightly smaller. Very hard to tell. Any help with ID much appreciated! Either way, this is one for me to tick off my list of unseen birds as I haven't spotted either of them before.
(Now confirmed as a Collared Sparrowhawk - many thanks to all those who chipped in!)
Cooper's Hawk, Glendale, Missouri. I'd prefer a more natural perch for this guy, but I like the glowing orange eye and the background isn't bad...
Photo taken at the weekend of this amazing wild juvenile Goshawk just look at the intensity of those eyes. (Thanks for viewing my photos)
A herd of Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) graze on green grass in a pasture in the South Fork Valley southwest of Cody, Wyoming. This view combines the green grass of summer with the snow of winter. This unusual combination resulted from a Labor Day storm that dropped sow and temperatures across Wyoming. Only a temporary snow cover however since temperatures in the 70s and 80s are expected by the weekend.
The field lies the valley along the South Fork of the Shoshone River. The trees in the center of the photo lie along the river. Although this area is within the boundary of the Shoshone National, the field in the photo lies on one of several ranches that are private inholdings within the forest.
The name elk was given to these animals by early European settlers in North America. "Elk" is a word usually used in Europe for a moose. This causes some confusion among some European visitors. The other name used for elk is wapiti, a Shawnee word which means “white-rumped deer" or "white deer". There are 3 subspecies of elaphus recognized currently in the United States. The Rocky Mountain Elk have the largest population and the widest distribution. To make things even more confusing, Cervus elaphus has also been called Cervus canadensis. The name is still in use by some.
The Cliffs that rise above the valley flow consist of stacked lava flows, flow breccias and debris flows that are part of the Absaroka Volcanics Supergroup. This group of igneous rocks are the remnant of a volcanic field that was active in the Eocene between 53 and 43 million years ago.
I ran across this Hawk just after finding the Great Horned Owl. I don't think it's a Red Tailed hawk, maybe a Red Shouldered. Any help?

Whilst Q198 did their thing at Joliet Yard, an eastbound IAIS decided to pay a visit with a classic GEVO/SD38-2 pair up front. The right sources kept me up in the action without missing a beat. UD Tower, Joliet IL.
Sparrowhawk in our garden, the image is a bit soft as it was shot through a double glazed patio door. I grabbed this first then slowly started opening the door but it must have seen me & flew away :(

A real panicking among our small resident birds yesterday, caused by a brief visit to our back garden from this Sparrowhawk!!! :-0
The camera wasn't ready, so I only managed a few rather poor quality shots of him!
Thank you in advance for any likes or comments!

I’ve been using this 70 year old paper without many problems, but on this new sheet the color did not want go down, and would hardly move. Hopefully, it will be the only piece like this.
