    Spent some time at the hawk watch, got a sharpie dive bombing a red tailed, completely back lit photo. Also have a Kestrel eating a dragon fly as it flew by.

    Yes that's it. It was a relatively quiet day but we saw Bald Eagles, Ravens, Sharpies and Coopers, Local Red Tails, Black Vultures and some Warblers passing through.

    Here's the Sharpie attack with normal lighting. I kind of like the back lit photos sometimes.

    Savannah Sparrow..very cropped pic.

    AsIMGP9828_01.jpg

    This one threw me for a curve a bit. Sparrows can be confusing and this ones got alot of yellowish in its head but that streaked breast converging to a smudged circular patch and it sitting on top a tree like that suggests Song Sparrow. I have to say savannah sparrow after really looking at the pics I took of the bird. though because of The yellowish streak.

    The population of birds at the start of breeding season in the U.S. and Canada has fallen from just over 10 billion to a little more than 7 billion in the last 50 years, the research showed.


    We lost close to 30% of our birds in the last 50 years.. 50 years is a drop in the bucket of Time.. Thats a major wakeup call that all is not well in the Environment we depend on... For a life long bird watcher like myself its so saddening .

    When I saw your pic with the tree swallows. I thought were did that many come from these days. We lost a lot of those birds here. I never see them lined up on the electrical wires anymore, like years ago. The population that came here is now very small.
