….when I step out my door. That way when I say things like “the Great Blue Heron barely cleared the house!!!” and “The Osprey was low enough I could see his markings with my bare eyes!!!” everyone will believe me instead of rolling their eyes….
Anyway I managed to catch a few pictures yesterday dispite my forgetting to bring my camera out with me at one point.
This Osprey was collecting nesting materials near me:
And then this Red-Tailed Hawk, with a notched wing, which makes it really easy to ID this bird, decided to claim a spot on my neighbor’s property as his, and proceeded to defend the surrounding airspace with great vigor. I managed to catch some of it on camera.
At any rate, the garden expansion is in progress, which is a good thing since I’ve been told I need to get the sugar snap peas in the ground NOW. Hopefully I’ll get them planted this weekend…..
Still very cool pictures even if not at the clarity that you would get with your camera!
I eventually went back in and got the camera, which is a good thing, cause cell phone shots of all this woulda sucked!
