I have to say that when I heard "stop the car there's a black grouse in that tree" I didn't actually think there was going to be a black grouse in the tree. But, it would seem, there was. Wow. And wow again. Even better was that this beautiful bird sat there for a little while gobbling the berries :) :) :)
Apologies to all my contacts - life has been hectic this year and I've not kept up with all your fabulous postings as much as I'd have liked to. Hopefully, as the nights draw in and the rains begin, I'll find more time in the coming months!

Several members of the RC Photo Club took a photo trip to the Phoenix Joust Tournament in Poway, CA. The jousting itself was not a good venue for photographers. There were lots of other interesting things and people to photograph. Here, this trainer was talking to his very young Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus). The little bird was getting a scolding for eating the neighbor's pet mouse. ;>)

Tweety Bird (also known as Tweety Pie or simply Tweety) is a fictional Yellow Canary in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated cartoons. The name "Tweety" is a play on words, as it originally meant "sweetie", along with "tweet" being a typical English onomatopoeia for the sounds of birds.In his early appearances in Bob Clampett cartoons, Tweety is a very aggressive character who tries anything to foil his foe, even kicking his enemy when he is down. Tweety was toned down when Friz Freleng started directing the series into a more cutesy bird, and even more when Granny was introduced, however sometimes Tweety still kept his malicious side. One of his most notable "malicious" moments is in the cartoon Birdy and the Beast; when a cat tries to chase Tweety by flying and falls after remembering that cats cannot fly, Tweety says sympathetically, "Awww, the poor kitty cat! He faw down and go (in a loud, tough, masculine voice) BOOM!!", after which he grins mischievously. A similar gag was used in A Tale Of Two Kitties when Tweety, wearing an air raid warden's helmet, suddenly yells out in that same voice: "Turn out those lights!"
Titti (Tweety Bird, Tweety Pie o, più semplicemente, Tweety) è un personaggio delle serie animate Looney Tunes e Merrie Melodies della Warner Bros. È un canarino costantemente inseguito, invano, dal Gatto Silvestro. In Italia è stato noto, fino alla fine degli anni ottanta, con il nome di Titì.
Titti è, il più delle volte, un personaggio pacifico che passa felicemente la vita nella sua gabbietta o sul trespolo. Però, se attaccato o provocato da un gatto o da un altro avversario che vuole cibarsi di lui, può diventare vendicativo e dispettoso, arrivando persino a prendere a calci il nemico quando è ormai a terra. In molte delle sue apparizioni, Titti viene mostrato in compagnia di quella che sembra essere la sua padroncina di sempre, nonna Granny.

Scottish Birds - Pow Burn ( went out early before the golfers and dog walker and was rewarded with this lot)
Well. Almost six. The last one fluttered around a bit and then went back to the treelimb above. He probably hasn't learned to land yet. Mom and Pop perched nearby, dutifly watching.
Spent a great morning in the blind at Battiste Bed, Breakfast and Birds in Hereford, AZ, with Ned Harris. The weather was perfect. Although we were just slightly early in the season, we still had two species of Orioles and a good sampling of new arrivals and resident birds.
