I visited a new park (to me) here in Vancouver, BC yesterday. Queen Elizabeth Park is the highest point within the city limits of Vancouver and has so many incredibly beautiful trees that are booming with fall color right now. I was exploring the park for the first time and was looking for birds, specifically owls because I had heard barred owls like to hang out in the large trees here. I had no luck spotting owls in the forest so I moved along just walking the paths taking in all of the beautiful fall colors and song birds singing. I walked up a hill to check out a new area but it did not seem too promising when I got up to the top. So i turned around but had three options to choose from. Either the way I had come, or two new paths. I thought I would go back the way I had come in order to better access a different portion of the park. Man that was a good decision! I must have just walked past this Sharp Shinned Hawk in the forest on the way up. It was my first time coming across one of these guys, they are quite small and mainly prey on smaller song birds. It let me get fairly close and did not seem spooked at all. Eventually it got bored of me and took off right at me and flew over my head to land in a tree behind me where it started to try and find some dinner.

My newest acquisition for 2011. This set exceeded my expectations in terms of overall performance. It has a 2SK3737 FET RF amp after its front end coils which accounts for its very high sensitivity on shortwave. Main IC is a TA2003, audio is a TDA2822M. Operates on AC or 3 "D" size batteries; in-built voltage regulator minimizes frequency drift on power supply fluctuations. The built-in speaker delivers very balanced sound with a bit of bass. This is one great, very well-engineered receiver.
Here's our connection to the Campbell Clan:
Dad, Gma Carrie, Wm Richard Sharp (m Carrie Alice Newton), Isabelle Z Campbell (m Richard Sharp).
Isabelle descended from Robert Campbell and his wife, Janet Stuart. Robert was born in 1673 in Campbelltown, Argyllshire, Scotland.
Good day for the hawk ... bad day for the grosbeak. A harsh reality that plays out every day in the life of a wild creature. Out of nowhere this guy struck like lightning and I was lucky to manage one quick shot before it was off into the timber with its prey. My best guess is sharp-shinned but I'm no expert on these guys

The mating routine of sharp-tailed grouse involves males displaying communally at a traditional site (one used year after year). This site is known as a “lek.” Males compete for mates by performing a ritualized dance in conjunction with calling (often a booming sound) and inflating purplish air sacs along their necks. Females approach the edge of the lek, observe and eventually select a dance participant to mate with.

Across the road from the white-fenced horse ranch is this barbed-wired fence full of lush greenery, thanks to well-above-normal rainfall this season. It's quite amazing what we can now shoot using today's modern zoom lenses. I took these two "green" shots from the same spot, and only adjusted focal length and focus. Same scene but different subjects.
This image is "sharp", the subject being the barbed-wire fence.

Sharp-lobed Hepatica (Anemone acutiloba). In contrast to the Round-lobed Hepatica (Anemone americana) that I typically see, in this species the leaflets are pointed instead of rounded. Furthermore, among the Anemone populations I've encountered in Georgia, acutiloba usually has pure white flowers, while americana has purplish flowers.
