Patti preferred this one but I thought it was a bit heavy handed.

I took this just after he grabbed the House Sparrow from my bird feeder. He was down & gone with the house sparrow in less than 5 seconds!

Not a great pic technically, but I think it's an interesting image.

Update: A birder friend suggests this is a Sharp-Shinned Hawk, not a Cooper's Hawk as originally thought. At first I thought it was a juvenile peregrine falcon, because those have been seen in the neighbourhood too, but it's not.

Photo taken by Jeremy Dec. 10, 2009 right across the street from our place, in the oak trees ringing the Strathcona school field in Vancouver (NW corner of Heatley and Keefer Streets).

At first I thought it was one of our peregrine falcons. There's an overpopulation of aggressive squirrels in our neighbourhood, which I hope the peregrine falcons - or whatever raptor this is - are taking care of. We do have peregines in the neighbourhood. In the summer while watching a falcon (an adult peregine, I thought) I noticed an oblivious crow in an adjacent tree. When it finally caught sight of the falcon it did a cartoon double take, made a strangulated choking sound and nearly fell off its branch. The falcon was watching a squirrel and couldn't have cared less, but the crow went off and loudly warned the whole neighbourhood.

Sharpes of Nottingham Volvo B12B, Van Hool Alizée VJI 625 in Nottingham City centre. Tue 10.04.2016.

They found no shortage of stone along Quarry Road, raising a narrow point to span West Moose River. The modern bridge is just in sight, a good deal sturdier and wider than what once was. But these remnants are never likely leaving. Every time I spot a couple disconnected abutments on my travels – either quarried stone, loose rock, or solid concrete – I seem to see the ghost bridge between them. Not metaphysically or anything, just that sharp quick spark of visualization unavoidable. Reminds me of when I was a kid in bed at night, lying late and sleepless, engaging in what I liked to call "passive imagination". I'd close my eyelids, and try my hardest to think of nothing at all. Then I'm watch while whatever random possibilities passed in the vacant darkness. Unexpected images, words, letters, memories. The joy of what came taught me to never stop seeking the pleasures of emptiness.

Sharp!

Staff Sgt. Jake Sharp, a equipment operator with 3120th Engineers, 120th Engineer Battalion, Oklahoma Army National Guard and native of Quapaw, Okla., clears a soldier’s rife during weapons qualification ranges at Camp Gruber, Okla., June 9.

Rifle qualification is an important part of a Soldier’s individual training, ensuring they are proficient and prepared to deploy to a combat theater when called. To qualify with their weapons Soldiers must score a hit on 23 of 40 targets from three different firing positions: prone supported with a sandbag, prone unsupported and kneeling.

The 120th is undergoing premobilization training at Camp Gruber, near Muskogee, Okla., preparing for a deployment to Afghanistan later this year. The 120th Engineer Battalion is deploying to Afghanistan as a headquarters element for National Guard units from multiple states as well as active duty Army units and the Afghan National Army.

I liked the contrast between the holiday decorated light pole and the palm tree. We ate lunch at the hamburger place in the background.
