Amazing behaviour from a young Sharp Shinned Hawk

As you can tell, this young Sharp Shinned hawk has gotten quite used to me being outside working. In fact, he’s gotten so casual about my presence that he has been less than 20 feet from me twice today as I worked on the fence repairs. But this morning he astounded me with some behaviour [...]

This lovely little Canyon Towhee dropped by for lunch today.  He was picking up pine nuts under the evergreen outside the kitchen window.  Hubby got a great picture of him!  The Canyon Towhee is a new bird for us!  Whee! Summer

This little cutie is a Cassin’s Kingbird. They show up in early spring here and stay until – well, they’re still here.
