Hawks

They have been hanging out on the neighbors fence again. I am not entirely sure which species this is. Cooper’s Hawk maybe? They like to sit on the fence and watch the yard for insects. Once spotted they dive bomb off the fence and have the unsuspecting insect as a snack.

dec_hawk-2 — Not as timid as the other hawks, this one actually let me get very close.

We had a very small harvest from our first attempt at a garden this year. Thanks to Hurricane Matt most of plants did not make it but this is one of the Tomato plants we saved.

Myrtle Beach Osprey

I finally managed to get a decent picture of an Osprey. Took traveling to South Carolina for a Marine Corps Birthday ball in Myrtle Beach but hey I will take it. I was just surprised that they were hanging around the area where we stayed. It was heavily populated. I wish I had a longer lens with me.
