Meanwhile Up In the Trees ...

As I was watching the Hermit Thrush splash in the fish pond waterfall, a gorgeous Red-shouldered Hawk flies by.

I quickly changed focus (pun!) and took some shots of the hawk.

This species is a relatively common visitor to our yard. But a skittish one. Had I opened the door to get a clearer shot (if you look closely you'll see curious artifacts caused by shooting through the window) it would have immediately flown away.

So I enjoyed it through the window as it surveyed the yard.

I hope you enjoy it too.
