This is a beautiful bird. I have never seen one here where I live.
All of the birds I take pictures of actually have to fly into my small backyard in order for me to photograph them.
I spent much of today, and it is very cold here, watching and taking pictures of a young or immature Sharp-shinned hawk. And later on today, when my granddaughter came home from school she told me, "Grandpa I just saw a large hawk fly into the backyard."
I turned around in my chair and saw this magnificent "adult" Sharp-shinned hawk looking at me from the white oak tree branch not 10 feet from my face. I just had to smile and say to the hawk, "Well, look at you."
not sure how you tell the sex of a wagtail. maybe she puts maskara on her eye lashes. and still it would be hard to tell unless you actually saw her putting it on. what I am saying is only if you can catch them mating.

Hi Abraham, I look forwards to see them coming soon.

Hi Tony, you won't test it like that..............ha ha
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Bob, with great detail.
ReplyDeleteNice shots of the knocker I see you managed to keep this pied still. Like I did this morning caught mine through a hole in the wall.
ReplyDeleteBob as usual you put my pictures to shame. In answer to your question wait till spring and look which does most work, that'll be her.
