Here's a set of that Red-tailed Hawk in flight as it flushed from it's perch. I think this was a male as it seemed lean and smallish.
Beautiful bird.

Milkweed. Have a click to see the texture of the seed pod. Fall shows such beautiful transitions.

A milkweed pod blowing it's seed. A textured seed pod has opened and silky hairs catch in the wind and carry it's seeds in hopes of new growth next year.

Here's a few more of the one-footed great blue heron. Hopeful for the bird since it was fishing and catching fish, albeit very small fish.

That's too bad, they are such a nice flower in Fall. Our temps should be dipping 20 degrees this week. It will be a welcome break from the summer heat.

Yes, they come to life when some of the others have already past.

Mary Gemignani @marygemignani.bsky.social · 4d

Thanks for the detailed observation Horst-Peter! Yes that eye shadow is fun on this one.

Mary Gemignani @marygemignani.bsky.social · 4d

Not sure, it was very breezy.
