1929 Durant Model D65. One of Dennis and Rose Olsen's lovely restorations.
The irony. Returning from a sunrise and wildlife shoot at the Wetlands. Returning home, turning into the driveway and a hawk flies in front of me. Oh well, already had the 200-600 lens on the camera.
Had some interesting behavior with a Cooper's Hawk at our house two days ago. On the wire out front, there were two Northern Flickers and a Cooper’s Hawk very near each other. The hawk would occasionally fly around and chase the flickers, but they’d all settle back down in the same place. Then the hawk flew over to the top of a tall tree across the street and the flickers followed it, flying over to the same tree, near it.
Perhaps the flickers have a nest or fledglings nearby. I’ve seen it often enough in my backyard where when a hawk shows up, all the other birds will pester the hawk and make such a racket that it essentially spoils the hunt. Eventually the hawk must move on, and the other birds will pursue for a while. Seems pretty effective.

Yes, I've seen little mockingbirds run off (pester, dive bomb) bigger hawks.
Well of course I do. (a seven course meal with greens and gravy)
The mate comes and sometimes pups. Here’s the mother playing with the pup:
One of three surviving Danaus plexippus caterpillars (of the five we originally had) in an enclosure at School preparing for Teh Change.
We've had 2-3 Agraulis vanillae emerge almost every day, and capturing this process has been an excellent learning tool.
In the past two weeks we've observed a few more monarchs depositing multiple eggs on various milkweed plants we have planted on-site, so hope for more will be emerging.

No they’re red foxes. (vulpes vulpes)
It could have been a great shot if it wasn’t so damn grainy. (taken with cheap camera through dirty window)

I was sitting in the yard yesterday, soaking up the sun, and saw this lone bird on the wire. The skies were also so clear that day, with a few large cloud formations. An impromptu picture, taken a bit hurriedly with my phone, before it flew off.
