A Little Splash of Color

NonChalant vs Unnerved
This Red-shouldered hawk seems unaffected by the Northern Mockingbird’s attempt to run him out of the neighborhood. The Duck box is a preferred spot for the Hawk to sit for a spell.

Several weeks ago I hung an apple in a tree and lured Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Catbirds and House Finches in for a snack. When we put up a new feeding platform out in the Pond Meadow, I thought we might be able to satisfy the… Continue Reading “Fresh Produce”
