A still photo does no justice to the enchanting display of these birds. A combination of tail rattling, foot stomping, spread wings, puffed-out purple air-sacs, calling - it must be exhausting to do this for hours every day for weeks on end. It is really delightful to watch.

One of the rocks from the varied geology on Penders beach. This one with sharp edges that appear to be iron intrusions. Penders Beach at Bithry Inlet Mimosa Rocks National Park on the Far South Coast of NSW.

Sharp as a tack HMM

Adult Sharp-shinned hawk, captured on March 3, 2018 in my backyard. It catches a small finch or sparrow every so often in my yard.

Metra 194 thunders away from the curve under Canal St with a dinky bound for Aurora. 194 is one of a few F40PHM-2's to be painted in the "new" corporate scheme. I gotta say, that scheme looks sharp on the squashed nose.

Sharpness.

 

The black-headed gull is our commonest small gull. During summer, it actually has a chocolate-brown head, rather than a jet-black one, which turns white for the rest of the year, with little black ruminant spots on either side of the head, which make it look like the bird is wearing headphones. It is silvery-grey above and white below, black wingtips. It has red legs and a red bill, which become darker in summer. (The Wildlife Trusts).

 

My thanks to anyone who clicks or comments on this photo. It is much appreciated.

Update: Today (Nov. 12) I think I saw three, but at least 2 hawks and I am beginning to think that some or all are Sharp-shinned Hawks. This photo and the next 3 photos are the same bird. One bird today was an adult. Help with correct identification will be appreciated. Thank you Birdergirl (Mel) for id.

 

This bird has become an every day visitor. I saw it 3 times between daylight and 2 pm yesterday (11/11). I am going to have to discourage it from coming to my home before it eats all of the quail. It sat here for at least an hour but surprisingly did not attempt to catch a quail even though there were quail below it several times. It did fly to the ground once and may have been after a mouse. This hawk was wet because it rained most of the morning and was trying to get dry. IMG_6616

I'm having great fun photographing these this Spring. Seem to be more around than in previous years but it could be that I am a bit more aware of them now.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. While capturing another photographer while distracted is 'easy prey' and perhaps a little cheap, despite having an album dedicated to it here, there is no denying that those spiky gloves add a real and present danger to capturing this one! I loved the pose with her camera here, her style and those spikes that just stand out. Enjoy!

Sharp-shinned Hawk, photographed two weeks ago. I woke up early and hiked through the woods of a nearby forest towards a river. I was hoping to photograph mergansers. I didn't have any luck with the mergansers, but I spotted this tiny Sharp-shinned Hawk. It flew around me from branch to branch, hunting chickadees and investigating anything of interest. In this photo, it's perched on a small grape vine.

He took off from the rail and landed a short distance away on a fence post. I followed him, but he didn't like me stalking him, so up and away he goes.

Watched this guy eat my favorite wintering Junco this morning... I saw him almost every day this winter, and now he's gone!! The sharpies sure are amazing predators, but I'm not too excited to see this returning pair of accipiters making themselves comfortable at my feeders...

He looks puffy from the cold and snow but still looking for a meal.
