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.

Floating

One of the rare times where Oshie actually wanted to run around while I had the camera out.

UXO

This is the sign at the beginning of the path where I like to take my lunch time photo walks at work. There are some spots where I would like to walk off the path to get some interesting shots but I don’t think I want to risk getting blown up. Apparently some of the Ordnance is from the World War II era.

Chirpa

Not the most handsome creature but still pretty cool. Chirpa is juvenile Eastern Screech Owl. He was no bigger than 6 inches tall and won’t get any larger. He is still growing in his adult feathers.
