I unintentionally personalized this design by messing up the colors of the goose.  I am, however, quite taken with my gray goose, so it worked out well in the end. 

Framed - October 2015 

I've had both Cooper's Hawks and Sharp-shinned Hawks in the past week.

Cooper's have a rounded tail and prey on doves and quail.  Sharpies have a notched tail (see the notch?) and prey on smaller song birds.  

I was rather startled to see two Turkey Vultures last Saturday.  As they do not like cold and rain, the birds usually have left the area for South America before November rolls around.  Maybe these guys missed their flight. 

Golden-crowned Sparrows are some of my Winter Regulars.

Song Sparrows and Golden-crowned Sparrows often feed together.

My male Anna's Hummingbird continues to delight.

He can be counted on to bright some brightness and sparkle to a dull November day.
