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!

I think I know why we have no birds in the yard today.

Accipiter striatus
Female Sharp-shinned Hawks are about a third bigger and heavier than males. This is a typical pattern for many hawks and owls, but otherwise rare in the bird world.
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.

The male is more spectacular and they do their nice little dance. However, I like the female subtle beauty and more quiet attitude, perhaps even more. Perhaps, I am getting old. Nice that Grassland National Park provides an opportunity to see both.
A visitor to our backyard on Saturday morning, standing on the rear fence, this Sharp-shinned Hawk stayed put long enough for me to get my camera and get about ten shots off through the patio door before it flew away..
Metra 194 thunders away from the curve under Canal St with a dinky bound for Aurora. 194 is one of a few F40PHM-2's to be painted in the "new" corporate scheme. I gotta say, that scheme looks sharp on the squashed nose.

Watched this guy eat my favorite wintering Junco this morning... I saw him almost every day this winter, and now he's gone!! The sharpies sure are amazing predators, but I'm not too excited to see this returning pair of accipiters making themselves comfortable at my feeders...
