A Cooper’s hawk sitting near his nest. The babies were too small to see them when I took this. The nest was pretty far back off the boardwalk.
Juvenile red shoulder hawks were finally big enough to move around off the nest.
A pileated woodpecker and a downy woodpecker were both looking for bugs. The downy already had a snack.
Tufted titmouse live in the park all year round.
Grasshoppers were starting to invade the park. This one is a baby lubber. He’ll turn all yellow when he grows up.
Bunnies at the park.
Love the Woodpackers.
Wonderful birds. When I think of the title of your blog along with the wonderful pictures you get so close to home .. In the city … It is such a great reminder of what an amazing state this is for birds!
A delightful series of captures Dina. That shocking red “hairdo” of the Pileated Woodpecker is hilarious!
Great photos!
What lens do you use for your photos? You seem to be right on top of them.
Thank you for linking up at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/06/falling-water.html
So many nice pictures, but the rabbits steal it for me. Brilliant!
Fantastic! The birds are really interesting and your photos are so clear.
Great photos – love the hawks!
Great captures of the critters you found at the park.
How on earth did you get such an amazing photo of a grasshopper.m
Hi Y’all!
Love the bird photos. And the bunny. We seem to have lost all but one bunny. We have hawks, osprey and eagles. Osprey and eagles usually eat fish. However, we have seen a young eagle grab a bird or animal out of the wetland.
Y’all come on by,
Hawk aka BrownDog
