Beauties, you have some great birds. Love the seventh pic down with that elegant blue belly. Sweet pics too. Love the little chirps and clicks they make.


Saw some Crows harassing a Hawk on a walking trail near the cemetery. Snapped a couple pics.

Iman your photo reminded me; the first hawk I ever saw, a Broad-Winged, was brought to my attention by hysterical Blue Jays.
