Tawny Frogmouth ( Podargus strigoides) provided this special display later in the afternoon. Obviously the time to wake up was approaching but, possibly, just a reaction to that human with a lens attached to him: oh, it's you again... so boring.
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.
Sharp beak, sharp talons, sharp dressed ;-)

Yesterday was cold but there wasn't a cloud in the sky when this Sharp-shinned Hawk showed up in a neighbor's yard. Yakima county, Washington. IMG_9980
Sometimes you need to take a risk to get the shot you want. This is a viewpoint from the side of the road, but standing in a normal position there's a cable hanging in the view... so lying down on the road was the only option to make this image. Only shortly before the train was at the right spot though, our ears the most concentrated of our senses.

This species breeds in the boggy tundra of northeast Asia and is strongly migratory, wintering in South East Asia and Australasia. Rarely seen in Peninsular Malaysia, usually stop for a few days to refuel before continuing journey to Down Under. Consider vagrant in Peninsular Malaysia.
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.
Nope, although their name "teddy bear cholla" might sound inviting, best not to snuggle with these sharp Sonoran succulents, On a related note, did have a "run in" with one of these fellows one time. Needless to say, I'm a little more cautious now. : flic.kr/p/2nWjv4p .
