Just noticed this BCNH is missing a toe.

Strange to see just one Mottle Duck

After Wako

When I got home I checked to see if the Kestrel was there. It was. When I got my camera out of the Jeep and walked into my backyard, it was sitting in its usual location. Lifted my camera and wasn't expecting it to leave.

It turned around and came right back.

One of the Red Shouldered Hawks was active. The nest is really tucked away!

Then it took off. We tried to talk it into moving its head in the sun instead of its body. It didn't listen.

It did fly to another spot

then back to the nest. Not sure what it was doing.
