Merry Christmas everyone!

These photo were taken on the same day Dec 14th. It was a snowy morning so I did my walking on the treadmill. I saw a blur go by my window, I was not sure what went by. When I finished my walking I looked out my window to see this hawk below.  I am not sure, but I was told it is a Sharp-shinned Hawk. It was small in size.

My version of Where's Waldo, my Dark-eyed Junco tree. How many can you find?

I was able to zoom in on two of the Dark-eyed Juncos sitting close together.

The Sharp-Shinned Hawk decided the back yard was a better setting for eating his meal.

I appreciate and thank everyone who links up their post and for all the wonderful comments! I hope you enjoy my post and photos too!

Here is a list of my linky parties;

More Edwin Forsythe NWR

For my Camera Critters I have some more birds from our to visit to the Edwin Forsythe wildlife refuge.

If you want to see ducks or geese a visit to the Edwin Forsythe NWR in the winter is a must. We saw so many ducks, geese, Hawks, Yellow Rump Warblers, Cedar Waxwings, Great Blue Herons and some Coots.

American Black Ducks.

See all the dark black spots in my photo above, well they are American Black Ducks. I think they out numbered the Snow Geese that were at the refuge. In 1967 part of Edwin Forsythe NWR was added to the refuge system to provide wintering habitat for waterfowl, especially the American Black Duck and Brant. The American Black Duck often breeds at the Edwin Forsythe NWR.

One of the few Coots we saw while visiting the wildlife refuge.

Ha, just a few Snow Geese and some Black Ducks in the distance.

We sat and listened to these Snow geese for awhile. They had a lot to say.

I am assuming these skinning legs belong to a Sharp Shinned Hawk.

The Yellow Rump Warblers were hopping along in the trees next to the wildlife drive.

We watched a flock of Cedar Waxwings and a groups of Yellow Rump Warblers eating what I thought was Juniper berries.

On my post below I have my video of the Snow geese during the sunset, this video was taken the next day at Edwin Forsythe NWR.
