Northern Hawk Owl, one of the least studied birds in North America due to its scarcity even in its normal range in remote boreal forests. Extremely rare sighting in Southern Ontario!
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.
Cedar Rapids and Iowa City GP9 100 was passing the old capital (behind the trees) and entered town with a long freight from Cedar Rapids.
Rolling through the campus of the University of Iowa, the Crandic freight was a great subject to chase in the summer months with the vintage EMDs providing the power.
Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 121 (VAW-121), also known as the "Bluetails", is an Airborne Early Warning (AEW) and Command and control (C2) squadron operating the E-2D Hawkeye based at NAS Norfolk. Currently a part of Carrier Air Wing 7, they deploy aboard USS Abraham Lincoln.
Clint Barton was orphaned at an early age when his parents died in a car accident and was sent to a children's home with his brother Bernard. He and his brother ran away to join the Carson Carnival of Traveling Wonders, and the pair worked as roustabouts. While a member of the circus, Hawkeye was trained by the original Swordsman (Jacques Duquesne) and Trickshot. Clint's life, however, would forever be changed after he stumbled onto the Swordsman counting the money he had just robbed from the carnival. The Swordsman offered Clint to become his partner in crime, but Clint rejected his mentor, sparking a fight that ended when the Swordsman left him for dead after he fell from the high wire. Barney, too, abandoned him, in disbelief that Clint passed up such an opportunity. Trickshot stepped up his role as Clint's mentor, later asking him to join him in raiding a criminal named Marko. However, Clint severely injured one of Marko's guards and discovered him to be his brother, Barney. Repelled by the consequences of his actions (and his mentor's role in prompting them), he abandoned Trickshot and parted on bad terms.
I'm trying to get back into the swing of things after a crazy couple of weeks (work deadlines, etc).
I felt like trying something different so I did this portrait of Hawkeye. My inspiration was the scene in the trailer where Hawkeye is outside and the sun is directly behind him. The Hawkeye minifigure doesn't come with a quiver, so I had to borrow one from another minifig :-)

A pair of former Chicago and North Western GE C44-9Ws had the Bird rolling westward through an overcast Fairfax in July of 1995.
Union Pacific had just taken over the North Western a few months prior to this shot and things haven't started to change.
That would soon change.
This is the hat Hawkeye Pierce (the Donald Sutherland version from the original movie) would have worn had he been at a football game.
Distant Sparrowhawk in full sunlight, this male spending a lot of time preening, after looking around, continued preening.
Took too many photos ! This my favourite.
East Park, Hull.
I really don't know what this is. I loaded my new Brownie Hawkeye with expired 35mm film, and crazy stuff came out of it.

The innocent smile.
While returning from a little walk, I happened upon this Cooper's hawk perched low to the ground in some scrub. He was completely undisturbed by my presence, or perhaps he was just too full to (want to) fly
Whatever the case, we looked at each other from close range for a minute or two, and so I decided to go get my camera in hopes the hawk would still be perched there when I got back. And it was.
Unfortunately, there is a bright branch diagonally across the hawk's chest in the full-frame images, so I decided to crop above it and get the tight framing rather than live with the branch, or -- horror of horrors!! - remove it.
This was a pretty good-sized bird, but it had the end of its tail buried in the scrub vegetation where it was perched. I do see a trace of the "rosy cheeks" said to mark females, but it also has the "dark head" said to be a sign of males, as are the deep red eyes.
Almost certainly, this is the same resident Cooper's hawk I've photographed from a distance on several occasions, going back to the time he was a juvenile.
A pair of Burlington Northern EMD SD70MACs had a coal load splitting a pair of old CB&Q searchlight signals on an April morning in 1996.
BNSF became official at the end of 1996 but many months prior to that nightmare becoming reality, Burlington Northern was going about its business in style.
More housecleaning...
Believe it or not, this was actually v.1 of the suit that eventually became the Archangel, and it shares the same basic internal structure. It could have probably used a final coat of polish or a gun or something, but I just snapped a few pics and moved on.
Made between 1969 and 1975, this extremely popular camera used 126 film cartridges and the flash cube. I received this camera as a gift in junior high and is part of my camera collection.
Captain America-Hawkeye Keep the sky's clear!
Hawkeye- Yes sir. Stark, I need a lift.
Hawkeye like a boss!
