Wow, someone in a group I belong to found this Black Vulture just chillin' on her fence. She got some great snaps of him- but, I think he's posing. He knows he's amazing.
So yeah my friend and I were discussing the majestic American woodcock and of course Wolfwood entered the discussion, leading me to scream WOLFWOODCOCK ♥️ and thus, a silly idea was born!
While my wife and I were travailing north to Arkansas on Friday (10 May 2024), i spotted a hawk perched on a powerline paralleling a road through the Arkansas Ozark mountains. So, I pulled over and grabbed my camera. Later, I was showing the picture to one of my granddaughters who asked what it was, at the time I didn't know because I was looking at a small photo on my phone of a bird 50-100 yards away. Well, I just got back home and have the time to check it out. It is a red shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus).
You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.
