This barred owlet was hoping from branch to branch, flapping its wings, trying to make it's way to where it's mother was perched.
Whilst walking around Horsbere Brook Ponds (near Gloucester) this Kestrel was flying & hovering for some time giving me a chance to get some photos.

Eakins Oval, Philadelphia. T4 made a late supper delivery of what looked like a partially eaten rat. As Mom fed the screaming (but still unseen) chicks, he cleaned up in a nearby tree before taking off to perch on the back of PMA.
Raptors such as hawks and eagles are visual predators, using their eyesight to navigate their environment and locate and capture prey. ...
One of Six images - I've just had a visitor to my garden. It's perched 6 inches away from some of my bird feeders.
These shots taken through my kitchen window on a wet day in Dorset. I just had to saturate the colour a little to compensate for the glass.
Flew away when husband decided to take its photo - oh dear!
Gray ghost surprise!!
It's always good to wash your fruit in the morning. You may ask...."But why?".....The answer...because it means you're facing your big sliding glass doors and might spot something wonderful out in the open space behind your house. That's exactly what happened. I saw a hawk come swooping in and land right behind my fence. I assumed it was our resident red-tailed hawk.....but when I went over to look...it was flying away from me and I could see it had a white patch on top of it's tail which could only mean a Northern Harrier. However, what I didn't expect was that it was a MALE harrier or as many call it a Grey ghost!!! We have never seen a male harrier hunting behind our house. I made some inaudible sounds with my excitement.....grabbed my camera and bolted out of the back door. I really didn't expect it to hang around very long, and it didn't. It flew out of sight, but then back in sight, and then repeated this numerous times. Finally he started making some circles and made a few passes right in front of me. He also managed to fly with some very nice fall colors behind him in the distance. I will have a few more to share, but here are some of my favorites.

Son sueños,son sueños que se cumplieron.Yo soñaba a menudo con ver un azor bañandose,chapoteando a mi lado,en soledad,solos el y yo en mitad del campo.Y asi fue,un dia que ni me imaginaba que entraria esta criatura viviente.
El dÃa estaba nublado con viento en calma,no hacÃa mucho calor,poco pajareo. Desde el hide escucho unos aleteos a las 9, y se posa un ave en el borde de la charca.Exclame ostia no me jod....un azor!!!,encuadro al ave con un tembleque que parecia que tenÃa parkinson,son emociones fuertes,el ritmo cardÃaco se dispara,cuesta controlarlo. Tardó en pensárselo,no se fiaba,el siempre alerta ante presuntos enemigos. El estaba en una postura relajada,me sorpredió lo tranquilo que estaba a pesar de los disparos de la cámara. Después de observar el agua se decidió y se tiró al agua...genial!! .Menudo regalo me dio la madre natura,se bañó delante de mi a escasos 3 metros,casi que lo tocaba,no podia ni respirar,de vez en cuando me clavaba esos ojos amarillos que parecian candiles,parecÃan puñales que se te clavaban en el alma.
