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.

This is a record shot of a Sharpie that has been visiting My garden, and eluding My camera. In this shot I managed to capture an image through My window.

Eurasian Oystercatcher, Haematopus ostralegus, Scholekster
I was lying on the wet beach at low tide, photographing these shy oystercatchers. One bird kept foraging about a meter behind the other, and I liked the visual effect of having one oystercatcher sharp while the second fades softly out of focus in the background.

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.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Fly Day! :)
Looks like it's going to be a great weekend to turn off the
news, and head outside with the camera... :]
HFDF! :)
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.
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

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

Offensive...? if this offends anyone please let me know....I wasn't sure to share or not....it's nature....trying to stay on the light side...."put your left leg in....put right left leg out"...no????
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.
