Making a turn from the State road onto the secondary (or is it tertiary?) road leading to Amherst, I saw a hawk in a tree, found a place to turn around, and went back to try to get a photo.
Well, of course, Hawk wasn’t giving it away, and so flew off to a less visible spot in the edge of the woods. But it was close enough to the road to get this look at it:
I took a few shots before making myself obvious enough to get Hawk to move to where he was a bit easier to see:
…and eventually Hawk flew off:
…and I drove on.

The Quick:

…and The Tiny:
Aphids on a milkweed plant. Creepy if you’re a plant.
Some fellow travelers to break my e-fast.

Here are this week’s honey moles.
Feathered:
That’s the biggest hawk I’ve seen in a long time!
Furred:
A momma and baby. They were so sweet together, grazing and nuzzling and keeping a sharp eye on me.
…and scaled:
This little guy was camped out under my wheel barrow down by the garden.
…and that is all. 🙂
* Actually, almost all. “Honey moles” was my dear Portuguese father-in-law’s approximation of “animals,” and has become my generic term for an assortment of critters. It’s one of the ways I keep Fernando in my heart.

Today was fair, warm and breezy, feeling a bit more like Spring than it has in a week:
It looked like it, too:
Small critters stirred as hawks eyed them with terminal intent:
When the wind finally died down, still ponds repeated the scene with startling clarity:
…as a mallard and his mate sunned and preened:
Finally, high clouds slipped in as the day ended, bathing upcountry farms in a warm light:
All in all, it was a relaxing drive home from a good day’s work.

Derr Kitteh,
Remember those little bluebirds you chowed last weekend?
Well Common Wisdom has it that payback’s a bitch, and I have it on good authority that Big Birder is watching you:
If I were you, I’d stay close to the shrubbery, with an eye on the sky.
Taken in dense suburbia, overlooking someone’s front yard on a very busy street. This is one hungry hunk o’ payback!
