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.

The Hawkeye Band @ The Serious Plein Party.
Serious Request is a family of annual multi-day, multimedia fundraising events for International Red Cross initiatives, typically hosted by radio stations in the week before Christmas. The project was begun in 2004 by Dutch public pop music radio station 3FM. Serious Request projects have since been adopted in Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, Kenya, South Korea, Austria, Latvia and Portugal.
During the Dutch 3FM Serious Request, three popular radio DJs are locked up for six days in a small temporary radio studio (the "Glass House"), placed in a main square in a different city each year. Living on a juice-only fast, the DJs make an interactive, themed broadcast around the clock, while regular programming on the station is suspended. Instead 3FM and its website are completely dedicated to the event, which is also transmitted as a continuous audio and video live-stream. Additionally there is television coverage, integration with social media, and a dedicated mobile app.
Funds are raised in a few different ways. While the DJs are in residence, they play songs requested by listeners and visitors, in return for their donations. Celebrities and artists also donate personal possessions or performances, which are auctioned off. Straightforward donations are made into the project's bank-account, and by physical visitors depositing cash and cheques into the house's letterbox. Additionally, members of the public run a variety of supporting initiatives, and in some cities more glass houses are popping up.
In the Netherlands the Serious Request broadcasts and the Glass House have become a national December tradition,that reaches most of the national population.
Cedar Rapids and Iowa City Job 2 was southbound behind all 4 of the Crandic's EMD GP35Ms in 1997.
At the time, the six CIC GP9s were getting tired and needed replacements. Former Southern Pacific GP35s rebuilt into GP38s did the trick before themselves being replaced when the Iowa Interstate took over the road job operations.
The CIC road power has since been scattered to the winds.
Burlington Junction's Alco C415 701 was built as Columbia and Cowlitz Railway Company in 1968. It wound up in Iowa working for the BJ.
This is a Kodak Number 2 Hawkeye Type C 120 Film Camera and is almost 100 years old.
I have had a black and white 120 roll film through the camera and will post the results in following uploads.
Last year I gave Ginger a photographic present upon her return home from Mexico. Tonight, she asked for an updated photo.
I feel like Lego hasn’t made any good Hawkeye figures. So I upgraded the Age of Ultron one. I felt like this head looked like Jeremy Renner sooooooo I obviously used it.
The Hawkeye Express is back for another thrilling season of Iowa Hawkeye football. Here it is loading it's 2nd set of fans at the loading area in Coralville, IA. IANR 678 is on the west end of the train while IANR 461 is positioned on the east end.
September 5, 2015.
On my way to visit my cousin in Casco Twp. (near St. Clair MI) I spotted this beautiful hawk perched on a wire-as close as I've ever gotten to one! His white feathered chest was magnificent. I also learn that shooting with my 105mm macro with VR is incredible-even for more distant shots. This photo was much more clear when cropped than the one taken with my 80-200 zoom. I was amazed at the detail, not only on the hawk, but on the wire as well.
Seeing this Cooper's Hawk on a camera made me wonder, "Which bird of prey has the best vision?" I mean we hear terms like "Eagle-Eyed," and "Watched you like a Hawk." So which is it? Well both Hawks and Eagles have binocular vision meaning they can focus each eye independently based on light and subject. And both have better distance oriented vision than humans: 20/5 - 20/2 vision depending on species, meaning that they can see clearly from 40 to 100 feet what we can see from ten. Eagles are at the top of this ladder, and I think that many think because they can see farther they are the "winner." Not necessarily true. Eagles rely on scavenging for a great deal of their sustenance, so they need distance over acuity to seek food. However, Hawks' eyes are far more sensitive to light and color than Eagles (they both see color far better then we do) because they hunt far more, and most of their hunting is in the day time. Evolution has made the Hawk more adept at detecting motion and the Eagle better at seeing long distances. Of the two, when the sun gets lower in the sky, Eagles see better because the Hawks sensitivity is to brighter daytime light, and everything is a trade off. However, as one could guess, Owl's are the Kings of the Nighttime world.
