When the crows cry.....

I woke up to a dark dreary rainy morning and the
crows were cawing loudly. I got my binoculars and
searched the trees for the source of their aggravation.
Across the road near the top of a tree I spotted a hawk.

I thought it must be a Cooper because that is what I
usually get in my yard. But when I brought it into the
computer it looked more like a Redtail. I asked BG and she
said Redtail too.

From the porch I took several shots and it flew to another
tree probably to avoid the camera and then it was gone.

I had planned to clean the office and finish up some
decorating....but I already had the camera in my hand so
I kept watching to see what else I could see.

The star of my backyard, Mr. Redbelly was busy probing
for bugs right next to the deck.

Man! He shoved his whole beak in that hole

No wonder I love him, he is such an entertaining bird

Whatever he is finding it must be tasty...look at his tongue

Yummy yum yum

All the finches were having a 'eat in' out in the rain along
with one lone cardinal. Just the day before I found a pile
of feathers on this board...betcha the hawk got lunch.

Looking straight on at this goldfinch it appears he's
having a bad hair day.

They're not very colorful in winter plumage.

Before I knew it ...time to go to work and I had not
done a thing on my list. What's that saying?
"Tomorrow's another day!"
