Dotty old lady, interested in ornithology, especially domestic galliformes.
And every other bird on the planet.
Oh, and a bit of a misanthrope. (But not grumpy!)

You win! Ever since his own schlubs began questioning his omniscience, he's been trying to divert attention from his past. If only we could divert him from our presence! (I'm one of the suffering, here in the States.)

It's my atress relief outlet. Just watching them is a wonder, just listening and seeing their interactions in their world. An escape!

Ah, the squarish tail, the dark cap- a Cooper's for sure! I have a very hard time differentiating between these lovlies and the look alike Sharpies.
Great photo, too! (The eye sees all.)

Hey, if you can't freak out at a dozen nighthawks together, when can you freak out?! Congratulations, fellow birder!

Lively Cooper's!!
A true calendar bird!

A true calendar bird!
She's absolutely beautiful!
Do Cooper's have the more rounded tail feathers or Sharpies? I'd not noticed a dark cap on this bird, and have a horrible time determining Cooper's from Sharp-shinneds. How many years of study does it take to learn the difference?!

I've read several of those over and over. I'm grateful our library kept them.

At least, they're not out long enough to get rancid, ha ha!

They're a lot of fun, but avoid the grayscale prints. They won't allow enough of your own work to come through. Good luck!

I've got several- mostly chickens, but some raptors and exotics. They sell well, too!

It makes a good cartoon bird, or for a coloring book with the sharply outlined body parts and definitely colored shade. Experiment dome more, and see what you can create!

Ha ha ha! Thanks for the tip! I think it's funny when they stuff their throat pouch and than take off, carrying a load!
