| Birds are migrating. I spotted a purple finch pair. |

New birds, purple finch, have been at the feeder.
Today, on my way into my volunteering at PCCC, I saw a BIG bird. At first I thought it was the hawk. Can you see it?
On closer inspection of the photos, I think it is the owl! But maybe not! People with eagle's eyes have thought perhaps the red-tail hawk.
You'll remember we visited the sugar shack on the weekend.
Whilst there, we saw owl's ear tufts, she was sitting high atop her nest. She is very high up in the nest, quite safely methinks.I stopped the car this day, turned around, and refitted my camera with the zoom lens.
After cropping, I realized there were some duds, but you can see that it isn't a hawk, osprey or falcon. It has a very thick neck!

What an amazing bird!
Tough to follow it, very fast creature.

Looks like a hawk but great captures. V
I love all the birds and the frog pond is wonderful. Great sighting and photos.
Great shots of this bird. Catching it in flight is awesome. It looks like Goshhawk??
Great sighting and captures!
Weather wise, we're at a stand still!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Wow -- I can't believe you got those wonderful flight shots. Well, yes I can -- you're so talented! Cold again in your little piece of Paradise huh? I bet those birds are very appreciative of the feeders that you keep filled.
Jenn, those are beautiful birds. I love the way they soar through the air, so free and effortless. Oh to be a bird and just sail along looking for food or a drink of water. perfect.
Very good flight shots...I think I saw the fella in the nest...not sure though. Have a good night!
It may well be a hawk. It's neck looks so thick, though. Ah my. It's hard to figure these birds out!
Beautiful captures!

Hi Jenn. Love your owls! Tricky tracking. Nice work. I have to move the computer screen closer or blow up the pictures. Can't see my typos. But anyway, I look forward to more, owls or hawks either one. And your fish, too!
How cool! Love your flight shots, Jenn!
