Sharp-tailed Sandpiper
≠=================≠
Several of the ponds at the WTP have lowered water levels at present.
This has given the waders some rich mudflats, that would normally be covered with water, to feed over.
Sharp Shinned Hawk. A marvelous visitor who managed to grab a Chickadee. I was to eager with the shutter button as he heard it and left. Now I ask myself if I had waited a few moments, could I have taken some better images????

Fiinding food ia a high priority for these travellers. They will soon be winging their way to Siberia for the nesting season.
Taken through window. He struck at a flock of doves at the bird feeder resulting in a mini snow storm of pin-feathers. I was looking at the doves when he struck but only saw the feathers falling and then wings. When the wings came back and flew into my tree, I got this photo through the bedroom window, Then I immediately went outside - but he was gone.

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.

I recently embarked on my first adventure to Antarctica with the Muench Workshops Team as an instructor. It was quite an amazing experience for sure. As we crossed the Drake Passage into the South Shetland Islands, this incredible scene opened up before us on the starboard side of the boat. It was one of the most impressive mountainscapes I've laid eyes on in my lifetime. The creeping shadows and diffused light created by drifting clouds was the icing on the cake for me.
I personally highly recommend a trip to Antarctica for any serious landscape / nature photographer, you will truly be mesmerized by the fantastic wildlife and landscapes there - it is quite abundant and unlike anything else in the world.
I hope that everyone has a wonderful Holiday season and that all of your wishes are fulfilled. I know mine were!
We found this guy in some grass near the side of a gravel road in Northern Montana. So close that it was a challenge to get the whole bird in the frame with the 500mm mounted on the crop sensor camera body. I figured that the photo op would be fleeting, so I didn't want to take the time to change gear. I was right...after about six shots he disappeared.
Sharp pocket computers, PC1350 and PC1360. These were the only two PC13XX models released by Sharp in 1984 and 1987. Both had 4 lines of 24 characters and were very capable in their day for BASIC programming, graphing, etc.
The key differences between the two were increased memory, an additional RAM port, as well as improved BASIC and faster CPU in the PC1360.

Decided to scout along the River Severn on the south eastern side.
Not knowing this part,as i always headed down the otherside,i came across this place of Sharpness.
It has a dock, this wooden structure being the entrance to it via a tidal basin.
The actual docks had an entrance with notices of no entry to the public,but i was able to get to this part as it had a picnic area.

----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

Yesterday I had an opportunity to spend the morning out at Smith Point for the hawk watch and it ended up being a great experience with plenty of raptors seen and photographed. This young Sharp-shinned Hawk flew right over us at close range and definitely checked us out.

Accipiter striatus
This peculiar, forty-five degree angle of a pasture corner casts a different shadow. The boulders inside the fence are evidence of hydraulic mining for gold in Tuolumne County, California.

The bird had been found the previous day at about high tide by Kilian Hampl and identified by Will Knowlton. This species breeds in northeast Asia and after a long migration, winters in southeast Asia and Australasia. A few birds migrate down the other side of the Pacific Ocean and it is considered a rare autumn migrant in North America.
