Since we have company, I might be a bit scarce here.
I hope you don’t mind. Just know that I’ll be out taking photos!

  1. Beautiful pictures. I’m sure you are talking about Emily being your company? She must be getting to see a lot of new things. Wonderful pictures. Have a good time with your company 🙂

    1. No, Thom. — Nancy, Amoeba’s SIL is our company. Emily, as I said, is a student in Amoeba’s class — but you get extra points for noticing that they are both from Massachusetts. BTW, Amoeba is, too.

    1. Nicole — I wish the shots had been more clear. I think around here I should just permanently put the camera on an action setting!

  2. Enjoy your company Quilly, we will be here when you return. Take a second though to visit the blog, see if you can guess what Thom is going to Guess Wrong.

  3. Great shot. The red tail rarely looks that red in person. If I’m not here when you get back, I’ll return shortly.

    1. Doug — I said to NAncy, What kind of bird do you think that is? And the bird banked, showing us his tail. We said together, “Redtail.” But I think it’s really reddish-brown!

  4. Beautiful ! can’t remember when I saw a hawk for the last time, must be ages !

  5. Interesting that it’s called a Redtailed hawk, we have a similiar bird over here called a Red Kite. Birds of Prey are always impressive though.

    1. Bazza, your Kite and our Hawk are of the same family — Accipitridae — but otherwise, they appear to be quite different.

  6. You’re nhaving the time of your life with that camera, aren’t you?
    Gorgeous pictures, what a majestic bird, and such a beautiful sky!
