This Red Tailed Hawk could weight twice as much as the Red Shouldered #Hawk, so it made good sense why the rarity left its perch in this tree.

Imaged at 125 X magnification and cropped as you can have enough reach. Agreed?

Can you identify these birds from their silhouettes?

Hint: Fall, Pacific Northwest

The Northern Harrier sits in the field while taking a break from its usual low-level hunting patrols.
Imaged at 3000mm with the #Nikon #p1000

Can't make it to the Refuge today?

Spend 5 minutes with the Sandhill Crane family from Sunday and enjoy the parent teaching the Colt to forage & providing food... while the other parent chases off a Malard!

An UnCommon #bird in Oregon and Washington States, this is the second time we spotted this handsome Red Shouldered Hawk at #Ridgefield NWR.

We were not the only ones excited by yesterday's Barred Owl... our resident Anna's #Hummingbirds snapped & harassed the #Owl in "their" territory.

Our Barred Owl from our deck this morning hiding behind the leaves and branches in the darkest part of the tree... pardon the high ISO and manual focus.

Our from-scratch gourmet dinner: seared rare Duck Breast over Wild Rice and with an Oregon Tayberry sauce... enjoyed with an Italian Nebbiolo.

Here we are in November, do you think this Red Winged Blackbird stay for the winter at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge or will it migrate South?

This handsome Great Blue Heron was pleased to poise with the perfect light against the bright water background.... between catching the occasional fish fry.

This perched Red Tailed Hawk was joined by another #hawk half its size... but I couldn't get an image thru the branches.
Do different species of Hawks tolerate each other OR was it a youngster Red Tailed being taught to hunt?
