A surprise and ominous visitor to the little pond, this sharp-shinned hawk's (Accipiter striatus) (I think... I still don't have a positive ID) fly-bys and perching in shaded and secluded cover beside the pond drove all smaller birds to silence and into hiding for a couple of days while he was around.
Robins were last to vacate the pond, after first shouting raucously to all that they were unhappy about something.
While I was disappointed that all the songbirds disappeared, it was fascinating to see this mighty little raptor.

YPD51 rounds the extremely sharp curve just short of the switch to the Steel Bridge on the east side of the Willamette River. This undoubtedly has to be one of the sharpest curves on a major main line in North America today. Trains creep through here at a little more than walking speed.
Blending in is not an option for a lot of male birds, like this Red-winged Blackbird. The flashier ones make the best mates because they are better at drawing the attention of enemies away from the much drabber female and chicks. Talk about taking one for the team!

A flock of 4-5 Sharp-tailed Grouse have been visiting my yard for about a month now. They show up every couple of days to dine on the sunflower seeds that were kicked out of the feeder by the smaller birds. They are extremely skittish and this was taken through my window.

Photographed at my home while snowing. More snow forecast for this afternoon and tonight. Snow results in large number of birds at my feeders. This bird or perhaps several Sharp-shinned Hawks are frequent visitors to my home. IMG_9052
This young piglet was photographed in a pen beside a small Inn in Rondane National Park, Norway. Her or his parent was very friendly, walking alongside us on the trail and allowing us to visit with the young one.
If I had a chance to take this photo again, I would like to have tried a slightly more closed aperture to see if I could get the nose in focus as well as the eyes, but still not get sharp focus on the rocks below. But I'm forgetting how difficult it was to even get this; the piglet was very excited to have company and was moving around constantly and rapidly to sniff us.

This is the only photo I could capture of this gypsy moth sitting on the outside of my kitchen window. I was using my Iphone 8 and the blackeye macro lens.
I guess I was too intrusive, cause the moth just flew away right after this shot.
Hopefully you like this photo. Thank you in advance for adding a comment and / or for adding it as a favorite.

This week in SSC: SOOC (straight out of camera)
For this challenge, I finally got a chance to use a camera that I bought last winter. I got it especially for capturing wildlife since it has a 50x zoom. (I did no editing to this photo.) Mr. Woody was quite a distance away and I was shooting in digital zoom so I was surprised this even turned out. I just love wood ducks!

The gardens have a great cactus display. I make the mistake of trying to pull away some debris from the needles and can confirm they are as sharp as they look.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Captured up close, I loved the sharp focus of this woman looking down the street and was so pleased to get some sharp focus of my own for the image.
This is the same woman I captured 'Turning Around' here flic.kr/p/MHyk6A. She had such a strikingly beautiful profile but I was so pleased to, unusually for me, click the shutter again when she turned around. Enjoy!

While trying to photograph a group of agitated blue jays at my feeder, this young hawk came out of the trees and landed directly in front of me on a trellis. It stayed long enough for me to take this shot.

On April 29th I started my day at 2:45 am. I drove with three friends to a lek in Southern Alberta. We had to be in the blind by 5 am. It sure took a long time before there was enough light to take photos. We could hear the grouse. They were making many sounds and e could see their outlines in the dark. It was another great day. The last time I was out there was two years ago.
I was using a brand new camera so I had many photos to delete and of course far too many photos over all. Most photos were only cropped. I didn't adjust any colors. Some photos are not even cropped.
Thanks for your visits and comments. They are all greatly appreciated!
