I managed some bird photos in between butterfly photos today. I was actually inside rehydrating when I walked by our sliding glass door and the Red-Shouldered Hawk was sitting right outside. I yelled, "Hawk!" And then told everyone not to look at it (because they totally know) as I sidled over to the couch to grab my camera. I tried looking the other way and aiming the camera up but the bird turned its head as I took the picture and them flew away. At least I got one shot!
This morning, there was a group of these extremely loud black birds in my neighbor's yard. One had something in its mouth. I know I take awful photos but if anyone thinks they know what they are, give me a heads up. They were smaller than the hawk, but not by too much. And they seem to travel in a group and did I mention they were really loud!?
