This is a female, endemic subspecies, Maricao Puerto Rico.

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.

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 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".

Was messing around with wall designs and ended up with this thing. Version of Quincy Sharp's office, not really based on anything specific.

 

Threw a bunch of stuff on his shelves that he's hoarded from his inmates. :)

 

Tell me what you guys think!

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

The Botanical Gardens in Brush Prairie must seem like a buffet dinner to it.

Those little things that you stick in the ends of your corn cob so you don't get your fingers messy. In theory anyway.

Randall Park Yakima, Washington. One of the few photos of an immature bird that I have that clearly show that this is a Cooper's and not a Sharp-shinned Hawk. I should probably qualify that statement by saying I am one of the few people who have trouble telling the difference. My other photos of these birds probably work for most people for identification.

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.

Tried to take a Cardinal but unsuccessful.

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.

They keep on building these sharp, tall objects down the coastline, blocking everyone's sun and the cool sea breeze.. What a shame.

Long exposure, using a welding glass, at Sharpness Dock on the River Severn.

These are really rose thorns but I think they look like shark teeth! They certainly feel sharp!

I stood behind my tripod and camera in my back yard last night in the dark and took photos of hummingbirds. Well, it was almost dark and that is why these photos are so grainy (noisy). I even got a few sharp photos at very low shutter speeds which surprised me. Nevertheless I deleted most of my shots. I saw at least 2 Anna's, 2 rufous, and 1 black-chinned hummingbird. They of course were chasing each other most of the time. A rufous chased the black-chinned just before I was able to snap a photo. I had a chickadee try to land on my tripod while I was taking the hummingbird photos. IMG_3493
