Explored.

 

Melting Snow Crystals with sharp-pointed edges, Murree Pakistan.

Sharp joined the squad at Palpatine's personal request, yet something always seemed off about him. Wound too tight maybe, but it's always felt as if he had a different mission on Laceropes.

Some artsy shot of one of my favorite clones, I absolutely love the Laceropes members and was able to snag this little shot for y'all.

The magic of winter waterfalls... the softness of the snow , the flowing water and the sharp, jagged edges of the ice.

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!

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...

Update: Today (Nov. 12) I think I saw three, but at least 2 hawks and I am beginning to think that some or all are Sharp-shinned Hawks. This photo and the next 3 photos are the same bird. One bird today was an adult. Help with correct identification will be appreciated. Thank you Birdergirl (Mel) for id.

 

This bird has become an every day visitor. I saw it 3 times between daylight and 2 pm yesterday (11/11). I am going to have to discourage it from coming to my home before it eats all of the quail. It sat here for at least an hour but surprisingly did not attempt to catch a quail even though there were quail below it several times. It did fly to the ground once and may have been after a mouse. This hawk was wet because it rained most of the morning and was trying to get dry. IMG_6616

I would like to wish all my flickr friends and their families a very happy and safe Thanksgiving Holiday.

 

I would also like to leave a special thankyou to all who stop by to leave a fav or a comment. I really appreciate them!!!

 

Taking a little break from the warblers to share this image I took years ago.

I was sitting on the front porch of my families house when I seen this Sharp Shinned Hawk chasing a squirrel around the yard across the street. When the squirrel escaped, he flew up and landed on this bench where I was able to get a couple of pictures of him before he flew away. ( Oct 23 ,2010)

I seldom see a Sharpie in the backyard, but today was an exception. This is the first one I've seen in four years. The similar looking Cooper's Hawk is a much more frequent visitor. After attempting to catch one of the small birds at my feeding station - and missing - he perched in this tree to ponder what went wrong.

Rector of Rothbury 1720-1758

for the relief of unemployment amongst local stonemasons and use as an observatory.

It is the oldest folly in the country and is a listed building.

I don't mind a few interruptions when I am gardening if that means I can get good photos of birds. After pruning roses I walked around the corner of my house and this bird flew out of a Golden Currant shrub chasing a sparrow. that it did not catch. It landed in this willow tree. I watched it for about half hour before it tried again to make a kill. It missed again and landed in the far side of the same tree. I went back to my yard work and for the next hour or more it sat there, even though there were American Goldfinches, House Sparrows, and Dark-eyed Juncos in the same tree and on the ground. I went in the house to eat lunch, checked again and found this bird in the same place. Back in the house I noticed California Quail and all of the above mentioned birds out my back window. I turned away from watching for about a minute, turned around and looked out my window, and saw this hawk on the ground, then in my apricot tree with no prey, so it missed a 3rd time. I went out the front door walked around the corner of my house and got a couple more photos. I'm not sure why because I ended up with slightly over 50 shots. Sometimes it would be better if birds flew away so I didn't take so many photos that look almost identical. I will upload a couple of more latter. IMG_4059

This song thrush looks like it could punch a hole straight through a snail's shell

Thank you for viewing, commenting on and faving my photo!

I took a stroll along the canal, it had been dry and sunny all day, but half way through my ambling the skies opened and camera and I became rather wet!! anyway, the rain was short lived and the sky delivered this bust of colour just before nightfall. The Sharpness Canal connects Gloucester to Sharpness, allowing boats to bypass a treacherous tidal stretch of the River Severn. The structure in the foreground is part of the swing bridge mechanism.

Taking a sharp turn from yesterday; somehow Scott has found himself infected and is being considered for quarantine because I do not want whatever he has.

 

He's drained of energy (blood is fine, not a vampire flu) and his temperature can't pick a happy medium. He has other symptoms as well, lack of appetite, a cough, etc. He hasn't decided if it's a cold or a flu, but whatever it is, he can stay away from me.

 

I'll see him on the side of recovery... I hope!

 

Keep your fingers crossed for me! And send healthy vibes!

 

Hope everyone has had a good day.

I'm still watching a neighbors crab apple tree for waxwings, but a flock of Sharp Tail Grouse are still doing their best to eat all the berries before the trees are found by the waxwings.

Way overhead above Willband Creek Park is a Sharp-shinned Hawk.
