This morning when I woke up I looked out the window and I saw a large figure of a bird perched on the deck’s handrail, it was a Cooper’s Hawk, I ran to get my camera ready and when I approached the window ready to shoot when the bird unfortunately saw me and flew away before I could get a single shot!

It’s raining hard now as I write this post despite the heavy rain I refilled the feeders, now I can see some birds are out to feed but they look wet. I just hope that this rain won’t last long and I might be able to shoot some pictures later.

Here are some fresh pictures I shot yesterday. (It might explain the Hawk’s visit)

Second Day of the Year

Today is the second day of the new year, celebrations are over, we’re back to the grind!

Luckily we haven’t had any rain for a while, the afternoons have been balmy for a couple of days, not totally sunny but by intervals and then back to gray.

I kept my camera ready for shooting more pictures and what do you know, more birds came for seeds. I was very pleased to see them!

For today’s feature gallery I bring you:
