It's not in a yard, but along a utility easement. There's no way to know what's affecting it, but once I saw it, I got curious. It certainly looks like this tree. shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-50143861908485203042020-09-05T08:34:59.176-04:002020-09-05T08:34:59.176-04:00Hola David, tanto tiempo.

Sorry for answering this l...Hello David and Miriam,<br />Sorry for answering this late but I am more out and about than at home. As you know this is the time when birds are on the move. Direction South. So much to see. As you show here you do have your birds as well. To bad and just as we see here is the low water level in ponds, lakes and streams. Your photos of the birds are again most wonderful. Further I have to tell you that the little crake Porzana parva two days later died. We still do not know what was the cause.<br />Well take care,<br />Regards,<br />Roos Rooshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02095611236289233818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-6833651653117209752020-09-01T06:20:25.205-04:002020-09-01T06:20:25.205-04:00Lovely photos, David.

Your falcon story reminded me of the day I was out in my garden and heard a whoosh as a bird apparently with two heads shot past me at great speed. It took me a moment to realise it was a falcon that had snatched a dove in mid air right next to me.Helen V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07989670682260643429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-38991512860708675142020-08-31T14:37:46.278-04:002020-08-31T14:37:46.278-04:00hello David

I have an aviary where I breed pheasants and partridges and then release them, now I had to secure the whole aviary with electricity because the infrared camera always shows cats that want to see animals.<br />Greetings Frankwaldlaeufer68 Frank Scholtyssekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15054940091779028444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-9371479389954376382020-08-31T14:20:19.453-04:002020-08-31T14:20:19.453-04:00Hi Both

Of course there are a few exceptions but in general it ain't too hard. Going for a walk in nature is a lot more attractive than paying a visit to a town, a mall for instance. In the free nature you can act like you did before . You show us here enough examples to convince us that nature has a lot to offer as long as you keep your eyes open. The merlin is a great predator and is very well photographed.<br />Greetings, KeesKees van Dommelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12937232281857503609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-25087762673469767262020-08-30T05:55:41.289-04:002020-08-30T05:55:41.289-04:00seems the merlins have all but disappeared in our ...seems the merlins have all but disappeared in our area...it's been years since I've seen one. you two saw a great variety while out walking (love the moon framed by trees!)<br /><br />thank you for sharing & linking in this weeK at IRBBAnni https://www.blogger.com/profile/11805303710992562752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-77756442347129130172020-08-30T03:41:20.870-04:002020-08-30T03:41:20.870-04:00Que maravilla poder ver tantas aves, yo sería feli...Que maravilla poder ver tantas aves, yo sería feliz de pasear por ahí.

I enjoy watching the flight patterns of the starlings but prefer to admire them from afar and not so much when they hang around our yard "decorating" our cars a bit too excessively. The black cat looks well-fed, hopefully not from a diet of birds. Fantastic capture of the Merlin and I enjoyed the story of his capturing his dinner as well.
