Good Morning Wednesday

 

Big Bird Sharp Shinned Hawk

 I am going to identify it as a Cooper's Hawk. I will be glad to be corrected if I am wrong. I looked out to see the small birds and out in the maple it just sits there. It rotates it head looking in all directions, looking for a bird to capture. I have watched them many times sitting out on the fence tearing into a small bird and devouring it quickly. I have photos of it looking in all directions including directly at me looking over its back.

PS  A friend of mine shared photos and this is not a coopers hawk but a sharp shinned hawk.

Not a Bird

 The squirrel showed up this afternoon to fill his stomach. I had a lot of seed and she did help herself to a lot of food.

Red-Winged

 We have red-winged blackbirds in our area each summer. I thought that they need to have water and cat tails in which to nest and we really don't have that in our immediate area.
