His caresses are so sharp
Than the teeth of a shark
His words as hard as thorns
But if you know him better
They will heal your irritation
And will calm your heart as well.

I drove into my driveway late yesterday afternoon and almost missed seeing this bird. I started to get out of my car and saw this sharp-shinned hawk sitting in the snow about 35 feet to the right front of my parked vehicle. I had my camera with me in the front seat so I managed to open the passenger side window, lean over as far as possibly, and start snapping photos Most were blurry even after increasing ISO and getting a little higher shutter speed. It was difficult to hold the camera steady while leaning awkwardly across the front seat. After while I decided to open the drivers side door and try getting some better shots which I managed to do but as is obvious the poor light and background doesn't result in great images. I was amazed that this bird did not fly until after it ate the last few bits of quail. It stared at me several times.
These photos were shot at about 4:15 pm just after sundown. I watched this bird for about 10 minutes while it ate the quail. This bird appeared smaller than the Cooper's hawk that is a frequent visitor, has legs that to me look thin, and has a squared tail which I believe describe Sharp-shinned hawk. When it flew and landed I was able to get a poor photo of its spread squared tail. If however my ID is not correct please let me know. IMG_1080

Forgive me when I post too many photos of the grouse!
On April 9th 3 friends and I drove south of the city to a Sharp-tailed Grouse lek. I hadn't thought about the degree of difficulty that might challenge me in climbing over the stile with a knee replacement. I really struggled so I do not think I will be returning to see the grouse in future years.
Thanks for your visits, comments and faves! They are all appreciated!
I haven't done any woodland photography for ages but the other day I woke up and looked out the window to be greeted by a light mist rolling across the treetops. Ok I thought, breakfast can wait. I grabbed a camera, 2 lenses, my tripod, and set off.
Twenty minutes later I was in one of my favourite local woodland areas trudging up the hill and into the woods.The light at first wasn't great but sometimes you just know that something special is about to happen. I then met a lady on the path and she said something like she wished she had a camera with her because she'd just passed through some gorgeous light. I said thanks and sprinted (well, maybe not sprinted, more like walked a little bit faster) towards the area she had indicated. I needn't have hurried at all. Within a couple of minutes I was surrounded on all sides by light spilling through the canopy and cutting great swathes of light through the fine mist that still lingered. It lasted a little under a half hour and then everything returned to normal. Sometimes you have to believe in magic!
Just having a play around with the new camera, I haven't had a chance to use macro mode yet, so thought I'd have a go today as the weather is awful....I was pleased with the results of the macro setting on the S9500, this has been cropped 50% in Picasa...

Sharp Shinned Hawk wrestling with a mourning dove. It didn't end well for the dove. This took place right beneath our living room window.

(Anemone acutiloba) There are a few varieties of the hepatica in bloom at this time of the year. Only a few I saw were this deep purple color and they stood out so prominently. They are a delicate bloom about 2cm wide. I tried hard not to step on any along the trail.
