ZZ Top was the headliner band for the Rock Legends Cruise. They not only dressed for success but rocked the ship big time for three straight nights. Also got to meet FM99's Rock Girl Lindsey who won a trip on the legends cruise. Canon 7D, 1/125 sec @ f/2.8, ISO 800.
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!
Quintron & Miss Pussycat, John Wesley Coleman, and Sharp Balloons played the Hi Tone Cafe in Memphis, Tennessee, on December 2, 2012. There were lots of beers and nude asses.
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.

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.
