An interesting experience as I was able to walk quite close as I passed this Sharp-shinned Hawk. It may have been distracted by all the alarm calls from the Chickadees in the tree and general area. I stood back watching for a few minutes and the hawk eventually flew off.
Thank you for viewing.

I had taken the day off work to explore the Dart and Teign valleys looking for autumnal leaves. However I couldn't resist rising an hour or so early to perch myself on top of Sharp Tor, overlooking the Dart valley, to see what sunrise had in store.

For some reason my Elements stitching would not work properly.
This entrance also gives access to The Gloucester and Sharpness Canal .
The Severn Bridge can also just be seen,middle left.
The bird feeders have not been well-patronized lately as our local Sharpie has been keeping an eye on the activity. Amazingly, this bird perched only 25 feet away from me for 5 minutes and didn't seem to mind me so close.
Just preparing to launch
I saw him fly in and land. I went for my camera.
I couldn't open the door - he would be gone in an instant.
I shot him through double panned windows. I took 18 shots and this was the 19th. I saw him spread his wings and fly through the view in my camera. The 20th shot was a bare branch.
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!
They keep on building these sharp, tall objects down the coastline, blocking everyone's sun and the cool sea breeze.. What a shame.

The peculiar design of the CC-40110 electric powered locomotive launched in 1964 on French railways, retired in 1996. AJECTA, Longueville (77)
Was outside today when i noticed something all puffed up in the neighbors cherry tree. an hour earlier i watched it chase a flock of sparrows into a bush. it looked like he was successful at the time.
i ran inside and attached the 300 f4 and 1.7X to the d300 and mounted it all to my tripod.
incredibly it allowed me to walk up to within about 30 feet from him before flying off.
in the original file there looks to be a blood spot on its lower breast where it blends to white.
Accipiter striatus,
Perched in the neighbor's yard,
Morro Bay, California
I saw this Accipiter fly over me and noticed its long, straight-tipped tail as it landed. I treid to sneak close enough to get a photo and, after getting out into the open for many minutes and knowing I had to be obvious to the keen-eyed bird, I got quite close. It perched for most of an hour before moving on.

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!
One of the rocks from the varied geology on Penders beach. This one with sharp edges that appear to be iron intrusions. Penders Beach at Bithry Inlet Mimosa Rocks National Park on the Far South Coast of NSW.
You can follow us:
Sharp-tailed Grouse (Tympanuchus phasianellus) male defends its little square of territory in the "lek" on the prairie landscape near the Great Sandhills south of Leader, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Fortunately the landscape is groomed by a herd of beef cattle which keep it in a nice state for photographing the birds on the grass cover.
