Debated between Cooper's hawk and Sharp-shinned hawk. Had settled on Cooper's hawk but was happy to be corrected as it is a lifer for me. It was perched on a branch overlooking a large bird feeder and was not at all bothered by my presence.

As the species name suggests, this bird lives near rocky streams and small rivers. This pictures was my second attempt a photographing this species. The particular stream where this individual was photographed is located along a small stream in a dark forest, which required low shutter speeds to keep the ISO relatively low and patiently waiting on top of a rock. The bird eventually appeared and posed for a bit, which made my day. The bird posed on several mossy rocks and logs before making it's final exit. The blurred background, which turned out better than expected is the stream in the background.

This bird, if it is the same bird that I photographed in poor light this morning showed up a 2nd time today. The light was much better this afternoon and I was closer to the bird but the shepherds hook that holds one of my feeders was between me and the bird. IMG_6755
I have trouble keeping up and thanking everyone individually so I hope you will accept this generic "thank you." I would like to thank everyone who takes the time to view, comment and fave my photographs. It is greatly appreciated and encouraging.
I am disappointed in the price increase here at Flickr but will stick around and hope the most of the will also be here next year.
Sharp-tailed Sandpiper
≠====================≠
Every year around April, huge flocks of waders head north to Siberia to breed. Among them Sharp-tailed Sandpipers.
A 10,000km or more trip. They stop at several places en route to refuel.
No bad for a bird that weighs in somewhere around 100gm and less than 40gm on its return.
Despite their tendency to non-stop motion, this little guy hung around just long enough for a profile shot. A sharp-tailed sandpiper (calidris acuminata) photographed at the edge of marshland in Kumana National Park, Sri Lanka. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography" - www.colin-pacitti.com.
Photographed at my home in Yakima County, Washington. This bird was here at my house at least 3 times yesterday, probably more. IMG_4518
Sharp-tailed Sandpiper
≠===================≠
The Road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say

Sharp Tailed Sandpiper, Calidris acuminate, Kedidi Ekor Tajam
This species breeds in the boggy tundra of northeast Asia and is strongly migratory, wintering in South East Asia and Australasia. Rarely seen in Peninsular Malaysia, usually stop for a few days to refuel before continuing journey to Down Under. Consider vagrant in Peninsular Malaysia.
It was fun to see this beautiful visitor at our feeders. It's amazing how quickly the song birds skedaddled before it's arrival. It checked out some trees and shrubs for lunch, unsuccessfully, and headed out again.
