Bird of the day

[JEK]

Last night just after sunset the Red-shouldered hawk was spotted up high in the River Birch. Snapped an iPhone shot and then ran in the house to get the telephoto rig. We waited for me and poised so regally!

And just to show you what an iPhone can do, if you get lucky, I took this Brown Booby shot at GCdS by finding a frame in a short video and cropping!

We have a resident red-tailed hawk on our property. Love hearing him hunt. Squirrel population has dwindled the past several months. Have not seen a field mouse in 2-years, efficient and clever hunter!

Snow showers, cherry blossoms and blossom eaters!

We have a cranberry bog down the road where we live. I walk our dogs around it every morning. A few days ago a red tail hawk flew out of a pine tree with a squirrel in its grasp.

Your photos, John, are extraordinary! Do you sit for hours at your camera, waiting for such perfect shots? All are stunning!

I keep the big rig handy and grab it when I see something interesting. I’m very observant of nature outside the window!

A great attention to what’s going on outside your windows!

A friendly local artist asked for my permission to paint the female cardinal munching on cherry blossoms. I love it!
