"They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea." --Francis Bacon
Not having thought of anything to write about (I’m working on it, I’m working on it) I’ve decided to just do a recap of my bird photos from this month of February. Hope you like hawks, because that’s most of what I’ve got. Even though the species repeat, they are, at least, from various locations around American Valley (Quincy, CA).
Morning Open Thread is a daily, copyrighted post from a host of editors and guest writers. We support our community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum. This is a post where you can come to share what’s on your mind and stay for the expansion. The diarist is on California time and gets to take a nap when he needs to, or may just wander off and show up again later. So you know, it's a feature, not a bug. Grab your supportive indulgence(s) of choice and join us, please. And if you’re brand new to Morning Open Thread, then Hail and Well Met, new Friend.

Red-tailed Hawk
Sigh. I’m just going to give up on hoping for decent Bird In Flight (BIF) photos. My camera won’t do it.
Red-shouldered Hawk
And sometimes even when they’re sitting still I get less than favored results.
But when they’re closer, and for the most part sitting still, I usually do all right.
Ferruginous Hawk
And this one’s banded!
First time ever for spotting a Ferruginous Hawk that’s been banded. Regrettably, there’s no way I can read it so I can’t report it.
And thanks for, ahem, “dropping” by.
Buh-bye for now!
