Happy Thankful Thursday!
The full moon in October 24th is called the Hunter's Moon or the Barley Moon. It was time to harvest the Barley. We had a clear morning so I was able to take some moon photos from my deck.

The Hunter's moon on Oct 24th.
One of our recent walks on the fire road, this walk is almost a mile and a half from home. We saw some fall colors and a Northern Flicker and a distant hawk.
I posted this photo on the Maryland birds facebook group asking for id help. It was a toss up between the Cooper's hawk and a Sharp-shinned Hawk. More replies leaned toward the Sharpie.
The Northern Flicker high in a tree top. It was a cloudy day so the sky was not looking very pretty.
Pretty oranges and red leaves.
Some pretty yellow leaves.
We saw a lot of bushes along the fire road with these red berries. The birds could have a feast here.
Thankful for the helpful replies and answers to my hawk id request.
Thankful for clear skies and a pretty moon.
A thankful heart is a happy heart.
I am thankful for all your visits and comments.

Thank you, Eileen, for sharing your wonderful photos and for your kind comments.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing to contemplate the effect the moon has on the earth. Think only of tides.
ReplyDelete...lots to be thankful for.

Happy Thursday!

ReplyDeleteHere, we call it the Harvest Moon - same but different! &*> Lovely shots... YAM xx
Awesome . Loved full moon pics.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have you and your bog in my life these days. Thanks for your comments on my blogs. Barb
ReplyDeletebeautiful moon, we have been watching it here each morning. I love the moon at night almost as much as the sun in daytime...
ReplyDeleteYou sure have some beautiful Fall colors and of course the moon shots are amazing! Enjoy your day sweet lady! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteNow THAT's a moon! I think moon shots are difficult and bravo on this one!
ReplyDeleteHello Eileen. Beautiful photos. The hawk is awesome.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice where there is someone that knows the answer to your question?
ReplyDeleteThe flicker is beautiful and I think the fact that the skies were grey make the photo even more so.
Beautiful moon pictures. I get excited whenever I see a Northern Flicker in person. I don’t see them often. You captured a great picture of a Flicker.
ReplyDeleteFabulous moon pics, Eileen! The Flicker posed nicely for you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful the Moon of the Hunter Eilenien. I love the walks you take for nature. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteTe deseo un buen jueves.
Besos.
Really pretty shotsw. with the hawks the Coopers has a more square tail
ReplyDeleteLovely photos Eileen. Your moon shot is incredible, I always end up deleting mine. Enjoy the rest of the day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snaps. I love the way you caught the details.
ReplyDeleteNorthern Flicker is such a beautiful bird..
ReplyDeleteYou take the best moon photos, Eileen! I've seen Cooper's Hawks here and this one looks a little too small to be one so I think it may be a Sharpie.
ReplyDeleteThe Hunter's moon was quite beautiful also in Finland as the weather was clear and light frosty. Your shots are very neat.
ReplyDeleteI like your birds too. Today in Italy I saw my first Nuthatch!
Have a nice weekend!
Nice detail on the flicker, such a pretty critter. Excellent moon photos, I've yet to take a decent one. The second shot is phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing your moon photos!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. So much to be thankful for!
ReplyDeletePretty Autumn foliage! And the moon - very good!
ReplyDeleteLove the birds - glad you found help with the ID.
Hope you are having a great week!
You got some incredible moon shots!
ReplyDeleteFantastic moon, harvest moon, I love it Eileen. And, I love the Hawk, it is looking at you.
ReplyDeleteGreat color at your place and good capture in photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and a very nice variety of subjects. Your moon shots are so sharp and clear, beautiful! Lovely to see the hawk and flicker, and enjoyed the signs of fall in the tree and the berry-laden bush. Thanks Eileen, happy Thursday to you :)
ReplyDeleteGreat capture of the hawk.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know I always love your moon shots.
A thankful heart really is a happy heart. I am always thankful for your posts and linking up on Thursdays, Eileen.
ReplyDeleteNice moon shots!!
ReplyDeleteIt possibly isn´t one, but the bird looks a lot like our european sparrowhawk.
ReplyDeleteNice capture! Gr. John
Hello Eileen,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of the full moon, also the Northern Flicker and the Sharped Shawed Hawk are great.
Best regards, Irma

Wow ! what a moon ! I never managed to take a got picture of the moon !
ReplyDeleteNice moon shot. I think the Coopers has a squared off tail so again your guess is as good as mine. haha
ReplyDeleteMB
I haven't seen any flickers for a long time. They used to be abundant around here. Good shot of the Coopers Hawk... We have several of them in residence. They sometimes follow mollie and I around on our walk. I have to keep an eye on her.Leaf colors are pretty right now..Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeletePS...wonderful moon shots..!!
ReplyDeleteI love those moon shots. Amazing how much it changes in just two days! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWonderful fall colors. And what a beautiful photo of that Northern Flicker.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.
Love the variety and natural beauty of this post!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.
ReplyDeleteI love sharp shinned hawks. The neighborhood squirrels don't scurry from cover from them but they stop what they are doing and watch the hawk (like a hawk) until it leaves.
ReplyDeleteI always love your moon shots. I think from past posts, that you and I have similar cameras for those type shots.
Take care, I hope that you have a great weekend.
I enjoy your blog. You always have wonderful captures.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful moon shots Eileen, and lovely to see the Autumn colours too.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
