Here is a close up shot of a hawk enjoying the last bits of its lunch.
If you click to enlarge the picture, you can see its tongue (which I didn’t know hawks have). The definition of the feathers is interesting as well. I enlarged the head portion to highlight. If that doesn’t creep you out, you have a stronger constitution than I do. ; )
Cee’s Fune Foto Challenge: More Than 5 Items
Here’s a shot of eleven beachy birds.
11>5. I have met the challenge. : )
Here is the elemental triumph – a successful hunt. Triumph for the heron, disaster for the fish.
Today I post a double portion of quirky pelicans. These birds just fascinate me with how they dive for food. I can watch them for hours. And, I have. : )
It was a cloudy and overcast day. A large blue heron was perched on the “edge” of the roof line. I was two stories below, so he or she showed no fear, and I was able to take all the pictures that I wanted while he preened. Here are two that I believe demonstrate today’s theme. “edge”.
Note: The roof is peaked. While I straightened the photos a bit, I did not make the lines flat, because then the bird looked crooked.
