Silhouetted
A Cooper’s Hawk, viewed against the early sky just outside my workplace on a very cold winter morning.
A photographer’s note: I used a 75-300mm lens at full zoom on autofocus to shoot this through two windows. I was about 20 feet from the hawk, clearly visible to it and was concerned that any more movement on my part would induce it to fly away.
Consider
A White-breasted Nuthatch seems to consider the best way to help itself to this suet block.
I want to thank you very deeply, my follower, for making time out of your life to see what I post. I very much appreciate your patronage and hope to continue providing you with images you enjoy and look forward to seeing.

Watchful
A House Sparrow keeps a watchful eye on me as it cracks open a sunflower seed.
Difficult
What I think is a juvenile American Bittern has been a difficult bird to capture, all summer long. I waited it out and finally photographed him waiting for small fish, or a frog, to wander close enough to be snatched up. It was a difficult shot – up-sun, with colours, glare, and a fence between us. I decided to take the shot, might get nothing better.
Cranes
A large flock of Sandhill Cranes visited a field near my workplace. Friends generously alerted me to their presence and I fortunately captured a few in this image.
Peek
I got a good peek at an American Goldfinch visiting the nyger feeder.
