Still only Sharpies at my favorite crab apple grove and no waxwings.
I like Sharp Tail Grouse, but I'm ready for a bit of diversity!
He took off from the rail and landed a short distance away on a fence post. I followed him, but he didn't like me stalking him, so up and away he goes.
Watched this guy eat my favorite wintering Junco this morning... I saw him almost every day this winter, and now he's gone!! The sharpies sure are amazing predators, but I'm not too excited to see this returning pair of accipiters making themselves comfortable at my feeders...

*All my photos from now on will be downsized like crazy hence the reduced sharpness. Have found my photos being used in way too many places without permission or compensation so now will not be posting any sort of his res images.
Better shots to come, but none that show off the sweet little hognose smile so well :) This was the third of three beautiful Eastern Hognoses. My favorite snakes and i'll never tire of them
I enjoyed watching this juvenile sharp-shinned Hawk for a least half hour. Before it decided to perch within 35 feet of me and closer it was apparently perched high in trees and came with great speed out of nowhere attempting to make a kill several times. For those who don't know this hawk eats other birds. I was surprised that I could stand more or less in the open at the end of the blind and not alarm him/her. The noise of my camera shutter made it flinch several times but after hearing the shutter a few times and looking at me he/she decided the camera and I were harmless. This bird made at least 6 attempts to catch sparrows, juncos, or Steller's jays while I watched but was unsuccessful. I was surprised how bold the jays were when this hawk was sitting 10 feet or less from them.
Everyone is probably getting tired of my sharp-shinned hawk photo but they seem want to be photographed. Why else would they fly close to me and pose. I'm not chasing them they are chasing me. In other words I am not making any attempts to move close to them they are moving close to me. That is the best way to photograph birds.

Update: Today (Nov. 12) I think I saw three, but at least 2 hawks and I am beginning to think that some or all are Sharp-shinned Hawks. This photo and the next 3 photos are the same bird. One bird today was an adult. Help with correct identification will be appreciated. Thank you Birdergirl (Mel) for id.
This bird has become an every day visitor. I saw it 3 times between daylight and 2 pm yesterday (11/11). I am going to have to discourage it from coming to my home before it eats all of the quail. It sat here for at least an hour but surprisingly did not attempt to catch a quail even though there were quail below it several times. It did fly to the ground once and may have been after a mouse. This hawk was wet because it rained most of the morning and was trying to get dry. IMG_6616

I seldom see a Sharpie in the backyard, but today was an exception. This is the first one I've seen in four years. The similar looking Cooper's Hawk is a much more frequent visitor. After attempting to catch one of the small birds at my feeding station - and missing - he perched in this tree to ponder what went wrong.

[This photo is for C. London's 52 Weeks of Photography Challenge - www.clondon.me/blog/52weeks0]
For this week, I set out to find a scene with a lot of contrast and sharp lines. I wanted to do a long exposure shot that would hopefully maximize image quality. The challenge was to produce a clean, sharp, low noise photo, and I think this satisfies that goal.
I don't know what exactly I was hoping for, but I like this little scene down the street from home.

Sharpness.
Joining England to Wales and back again!
The Severn Bridge (Closest in photo) was opened by her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September 1966. The newer Prince of Wales bridge was opened on 5 June 1996.
Not often I share these shots, hope you like it!
My thanks to anyone who clicks or comments on this photo. It is much appreciated
I took a stroll along the canal, it had been dry and sunny all day, but half way through my ambling the skies opened and camera and I became rather wet!! anyway, the rain was short lived and the sky delivered this bust of colour just before nightfall. The Sharpness Canal connects Gloucester to Sharpness, allowing boats to bypass a treacherous tidal stretch of the River Severn. The structure in the foreground is part of the swing bridge mechanism.
A tiny hawk that appears in a blur of motion—and often disappears in a flurry of feathers. That’s the Sharp-shinned Hawk, the smallest hawk in North America and a daring, acrobatic flier. This juvenile staked out a perfect ambush spot close to feeders in our backyard.
I'm still watching a neighbors crab apple tree for waxwings, but a flock of Sharp Tail Grouse are still doing their best to eat all the berries before the trees are found by the waxwings.
A few weeks ago, this roster shot was of the Conrail heritage unit. Now, on a sunny morning, an ACe is the eastbound leader on the Rochelle Local power. It is a Saturday morning, so the power quietly waits in Rochelle proper until Monday.
I had a pretty modest ISO going since I had been shooting lightning in a storm for quite awhile, and was pretty dialed in on it all. Then this mega blast struck Sharp Top and just blew out everything. It lit up the entire photo brighter than daytime. I took the settings way down and was able to bring out the scene, but the color was so mangled I just made it b & w.
