Two Sharp-tailed Grouse (Tympanuchus phasianellus) males face off with each other on the edge of their little territory within the lek.
They will stand or sit like this until another male encroaches on another boundary of the territory.
Things really get real interesting when a female wanders aimlessly through the lek.
The native prairie where this heavier was observed was near Leader, Saskatchewan, Canada.

All dirty... Distinctive. Fairly small, plump, and short-tailed. Dark brown above with bold white spotting on underparts. Bill is slightly decurved. Disjunct range. Populations in Venezuelan tepuis and southeastern South America have bold white eyebrow; Andean birds lack this. Almost always found in the vicinity of forested streams, but tends to stay hidden, foraging on or near the ground. Uncommon. ebird.org/species/shtstr1

I'm going with a Sharp-Shin Hawk for this one. Short neck and large middle toe. Probably a juvenile since it let me walk right up on it. It's pretty much full frame.
New Britain, PA
Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don't know where I am goin' to
Silk suit, black tie (black tie)
I don't need a reason why
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man
Gold watch, diamond ring
I ain't missin' not a single thing
Cufflinks, stick pin
When I step out I'm gonna do you in
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man
Top coat, top hat
And I don't worry 'cause my wallet's fat
Black shades, white gloves
Lookin' sharp, lookin' for love
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man
This bird showed up again a few minutes ago and reminded me to post this photo. Previously I posted a video. Yakima County, Washington.
They are not all that rare in our area, but this is the first time we ever got lucky.

Red Kite at Argaty. Was tracking this one up high when it decided to land sharply. Settings a bit out hence the grainy background.
Sharp Tor panorama on Dartmoor. A fine day towards the end of May provided clear air for photography. This is a merged panorama from five portrait orientation shots taken at this gateway.

Twice yesterday (March 2) this bird made kills. Here it is eating a House Finch. For those who may not know. the diet for Sharp-shinned hawks is mostly birds. This is in my backyard, Yakima County, Washington. I don't like the white snow background but that was my only option. Although it is not evident from this photo the hawk is sitting on large snow covered planter. about 30 feet from me. IMG_4624
Image sharpness has a special button!
Actually, these 'buttons' are organ mixture stops. These stops give to each organ note simultaneously the notes of the major chord, in other words the major third and perfect fifth. Some say that arguably, in some cases these stops result in harmonic congestion as they are largely a result of medieval ignorance and their search for loudness in a world without electricity to drive power amplifiers. Organs were at one time talked of as 'instruments of power', as mixtures were used to achieve a balance of harmony and acoustic power resulting in loudness across an audio spectrum, something that played a significant part in medieval power politics.
