Another angle on this morning’s altercation. 🪶

Morning drama in the neighborhood! A young Cooper’s Hawk decides to test a Gray Squirrel and a stalemate ensues. 🪶

A Cooper’s hawk descends on a squirrel who is reared up on their hind legs, moth agape, reaching toward the hawk in an aggressive defensive posture. This is happening in someone’s lawn.

A richly colored red-tailed Hawk rises into the sky on outstretched wings in front of distant, wind-gnarled cypress trees barely visible through the dense fog.

Welcome. It’s a good space. Probably the best intersection of agility and wisdom with a decent portion of the future left to wander into.

One life fuels another. Predation is a special thing to witness. This is one way energy flows through the natural world. #birds

A Cooper’s hawk prepares to eat a house sparrow by lifting the sparrow up by her right leg. The scene takes place on thick branch in a Honey locust tree. The composition suggests a circle as the hawk looks down toward the sparrow while the sparrow’s head is upturned facing the hawk.

Screech owls. Any flavor. I think they just might be myths. I’ve dipped on every one ever. Pretty convinced they aren’t real. So no, I have no nemesis bird 🥺

Figuring out how to use video as a photographic technique. It’s only 30 fps at 8K and while I can do 120 at 4K it’s just that the resolution isn’t enough to pull stills. This is a still from 8K footage and looks great. I processed the frame in Lightroom.

Here is your periodic reminder that I wrote a book, and that you can buy it from your local bookseller or sign it out from your library.

It's 4 years old but its themes about data and citizenship are still very relevant.
