I really like both but #2, to me, is emotional. The scars & the almost sad expression speaks of battles won & lost.

Went out early this morning to take pics of birds at my favorite marsh. As usual I didn't get the photos I expected.

To paraphrase a famous movie line, "a morning walk is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get."

My wife keeps a small bed of Prickly Pear Cactus in our front yard. Most of the year it is not very pretty. But around this time the flowers bloom. Each blossoms last only a day and within a week they are all gone until next year.

Decided to take an early morning drive thru a nearby park just to see what I could see. This young Red-tailed Hawk was in a tree near a side road drying his feathers & getting some sun. I didn't even have to get out of the car.

Went to "my marsh" early this morning. This Osprey was kind enough to hang around long enough for me to take a few photos.

Out to my favorite marsh area early this morning. GBH were out in force.

Female cowbird is possible. Coloration is not quit right but close.

The first two are from a trip to a local park & the last two are from my back yard. The last photo I cannot identify for sure. My first guess is a immature cowbird but the color is not quite right & the all black beak isn't right. Any ID info would be appreciated.

Spent a few days with my son in the Salt Lake City, UT area last week. The city library is a beautiful five story building with many interesting design features.

The Northern Goshawk has white streak over it's eyes, dark grey cheeks and tends toward grey markings on the front. They are a large, lean Raptor 20 to 26 inches tall. This guy was maybe 12 to 14 inches at the most. The photo was taken in my subdivision in my neighbors maple tree. We are about 30 miles Northeast of Detroit, MI.

A couple of weeks ago I spotted the silhouette of a small raptor in a neighbor's tree. This morning I got a better look at him or her. It is either a Sharp-shinned Hawk or a really small Cooper's Hawk. Look close & you can spot some blood on his front. This morning's hunt was apparently successful.

I recently acquired a Minolta Rokkor 55mm f1.7 lens. I believe it dates from the 1960's. Attached it to my Canon Rp camera & took it out to play yesterday. Here is what came of my first try with this combination. I'm quite happy with what i got, particularly the color renditions.

Canada Goose. It is mating season & this guy is chasing everyone away from his girl.

Suddenly there is new growth & frozen streams are opening up. The sound of Canada Geese is in the air. The Mallards will soon be here. Winter is dying.
