Still only Sharpies at my favorite crab apple grove and no waxwings.

I like Sharp Tail Grouse, but I'm ready for a bit of diversity!

Half a dozen grouse show up at my feeder everyday.

Cold, windy, almost pitch dark...didn't get out of this one unscratched. This is a few exposures around 15 seconds. I like how the aura of the highway reflected in the clouds. Haven't messed with night shots too much...that's the Sidney Lanier bridge in the distance...one of my most frequently photographed objects, as some of you know. Enjoy your weekend.

St. Simons Island, Ga, USA

...bigger than a Stellar's or Shrub jay

decidedly smaller than a crow

bare and slender legged

my observations against it being a Cooper's hawk

I heard this hunter take the bird in the sky as i was leaving work...pulled out of my lot, and seen this in the neighboring businesses yard

Wishing you all a very Happy & Healthy New Year!

Looks to be a young hawk, a bit lost and confused. Best wishes for a lovely day everyone!

You can see how close he came to our boat by the angle of view. It was still lightly snowing. And how sharp the 180-600 is. You can see a snow flake on his nose.

LI NY I was surprised when this hawk stayed on a nearby branch to be photographed.

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!

Kenton County, KY, 11-24-18. I don't often see these, especially in my backyard. This one stayed nearly motionless for about an hour in the same spot.

This juvenile spent a couple of days in the backyard honing it's hunting skills while several Blue Jays in their fashion of side stepping Bull fighters evaded the Hawk with only inches to spare. They taunted the Hawk and at times sat close to it

Forgive me when I post too many photos of the grouse!

On April 9th 3 friends and I drove south of the city to a Sharp-tailed Grouse lek. I hadn't thought about the degree of difficulty that might challenge me in climbing over the stile with a knee replacement. I really struggled so I do not think I will be returning to see the grouse in future years.

Thanks for your visits, comments and faves! They are all appreciated!

After it's bath it began eyeing the sparrows that had returned to the lilac bush. It flew up to a nearby branch and eyed them before taking off.

The flock in Braeside seems to have settled for a longer stay.

The word "sharp" has a number of definitions. The one (and the only one) we are using for this week's theme is "having an edge or point that is able to cut or pierce something".

It was chased the red-tailed Hawk, and it is smaller than the red-tailed hawk.
