No wonder I feel like I have hawks everywhere!
The other morning there were three hanging around - two of them in the same tree.
That didn't last long as neither was happy with the other's presence.
These small hawks are either Cooper's Hawks or Sharp-shinned Hawks. I'm leaning toward Sharp-shinned as their tails are square tipped. Doesn't this fellow look extremely intelligent?
I saw this group of wild Turkeys about half a mile from our house. Even though the 'babies' are almost full grown, Mama Turkey (on the left) is every vigilant.
Finally, an Anna's Hummingbird that sat still for a couple of minutes and let me get close enough to take a decent picture!
While we have Canada Geese and Cackling Geese as year-round residents, there are still some Serious Migrating Geese out there like this large skein.
Love your October header. Very nice pics of the birds too -- so many kinds!
ReplyDeleteThe header is beautiful!! And so are your birds and hawks. :) I am also surrounded by many hawks (and owls, eagles, turkey vultures...) and birds and could sit and watch them all day long!

ReplyDeleteMy comment is ...you live in such a wonderful place. All the birds and other visitors, I have one hawk that visits here in the city ( cooper )..once last winter making a ' hit' at my feeder...with success but that is nature and heck my young cat make a 'hit yesterday' and he is wearing bells this bird must have been deaf!

Your new header is a lovely mix for this time of year. A great selection of bird photos today but my out and out favourite is the geese. There is something magical about seeing the geese fly in formation.
