While doing some backyard birdwatching the other day, it was just so hot there wasn't much going on, so I decided to close the window and put down my camera.
Moments later this hawk swooped down and got one of my doves. It happened so quickly it took a few moments to register what I'd just seen. While I watched, it started plucking the feathers so I grabbed my camera to get a few shots.
Just goes to show you never know who's going to show up next. Or when.
** Taken through the window so not as clear as I'd like.
Thanks for the comments, faves and visits
This photo captures the tranquil beauty of a well-maintained backyard in a suburb north of Atlanta on the last day of April. The scene features a lush, green lawn. A stone retaining wall provides a rustic backdrop, complementing the natural greenery of the trees and shrubs. The brick and stone facade of the house, with its arched window and downspout, adds a charming architectural element to the serene setting. The vibrant shrubbery and the towering tree create a peaceful, inviting atmosphere, perfect for enjoying the mild spring weather.

For the flowers are great blessings.
For the flowers have their angels, even the words of God’s creation.
For the flower glorifies God and the root parries the adversary.
For there is a language of flowers.
For the flowers are peculiarly the poetry of Christ.
-Christopher Smart (from Benjamin Brittens' 'Rejoice Ine The Lamb'
This Ruby-throated hummingbird showed up at the feeder in my buddy's backyard. I had my camera with me hoping for an opportunity. The pic of the oriole I just posted showed up just minutes before this hummingbird.

This guy came into the backyard yesterday. I went out to make sure the deer could find it's way back over the fence. Instead he started following me around. Had to finally make enough noise for him to leave. Then hung out in the green belt, munching away for about 20 minutes. Before he left, I told him to watch out for the local Cougar.
It's interesting all our locals have claimed this community fence to hangout..some sit & call out to there mates, once arrived they both go off to the feeders or into the trees.

This broad-tail hummingbird is enjoying the feeder in my backyard. I'm sitting in a yard chair, waiting to catch it as it comes to and then leave the feeder, just out of the shot. It's been a very wet spring and the trees are very green, creating a great background. I love the translucent wings and the ruby flash of his gorget. I think that means thank you, but he shows it when he's happy or mad.

"And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game."
"Circle Game" by Joni Mitchell
Backyard visitors. This is a pink and grey galah. very common in this area. The colourful bird in foreground (out of focus) is a rainbow lorikeet. A beautiful and feisty bird which unfortuantely is an introduced species and bit of a pest for the endemic species such as the galah and other parrots. The galahs are real characters and very intelligent (like most parrots).
I took these photos to try out my new telephoto zoom lense. A christmas present that I will use when winter comes again and the surf is up.
I think this would have looked a lot different with a different background but when you want the centers you usually can't get them looking up, you get the backside of the flower..
