Red-shouldered Hawk overlooking Hay Field

MickiP65 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:41:00 GMT

Overlooking a hay field off CR 330. This was a quick shot before it flew away to a distant hay bail, and I hadn't had time to set the camera properly for the shot, so it was a bit washed and oddly colored. I attempted to correct this with layering.

Please Confirm Scissor-tailed Flycatcher or Not

Is this indeed a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher? If so, it is a bit out of place in North Florida. They are normally found in South Florida at certain times of the year.

Four were back today ... only 3 came near the back porch, while the other was content hanging about in the back of the property. I think it had been run off by the other three, and it was waiting for any scraps left by them.

If this is a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, it is a bit out of place, as they are supposed to be found in South Florida at certain times of the year.

Osprey on Antennae

MickiP65 — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:54:00 GMT

A couple of Ospreys seemed to be following me around the little town as we traveled through. I first found this bird on the tallest pole above a house that looked like a ship. When I got to close for comfort, this bird and its partner (from somewhere nearby??) flew away together. Then, after lunch at a cute cafe, I found this bird sitting upon a metal roof overlooking the gulf. Again, when I got too close for comfort, the bird and its partner (from somewhere??? nearby) flew away again. Finally, while stopped at Gulf Coast Sheds, I found this bird sitting perched here on the antenna high above a home. When I got too close, the two birds (I don't know where the other had been this time either) flew away again, but circled back. The bird had perched once more, when I was able to get this particular shot. Of course, the osprey told me off a bit each time I got too near.
