Perfect blend

Total color blend, grooming while resting. The great horned owl.
I wish I could hand hold a 600mm lens.

Available food

Acorns available. Don't know why I was thinking about food having gorged the day before.
Chestnuts.
Down the hatch to make room for next nut.

The sharpie

The race was on, sharp shinned hawk on the prowl, not easy to photograph, fast swirl overhead.
Finally, a landing, beady-eyed stare.
Great, fast hunter.

Punk Dove

I've seen many handsome mourning doves, usually more skittish than this one.
Into this space came a mod-Dove, probably "henpecked", a vision of loveliness.
And speaking of heads, an immature red-headed woodpecker, no red head yet. It caught a bug. Lunch on the fly. (pun intended)

Autumn cuisine

At first I wasn't sure what I was seeing. Lots of frenzied activity. When I got closer I could make out what was going on. Oh joy, a peanut butter tree. I love the stuff too. Human delivery. Mmmm, good!
Around the corner the white throated sparrow was enjoying organic lunch, seeds.
I prefer peanut butter.

Still in town

Sleeping during the day, standard behavior, midday
Hiking shoes, good grief!
Sorry, I left peanuts at home.

Hooo's in town

Shadow, back light, high up, hard to shoot, the great horned owl, a perfect blend of brown-orange-beige-yellow.
