Gray Catbird

While its been a pretty nice sunny day I've not been able to take advantage of it to do any photographing. This morning when the light was really nice there were no birds to be seen. I didn't even bother to go outside to look for the Coopers Hawk because I can't do anything about him. He just ignores me yelling at him to F*&^ Off, maybe he doesn't understand my accent, perhaps I should try yelling F*&^ Off in an American accent. I sometimes have problems with Siri not understanding the Queens English so perhaps that's it. Anyway here's another from last May instead.

Last May

Having spent last May rarely leaving the house and gardens I was able to spend a lot of time out back in front of the waterfall photographing the birds. Here's a few from last May I haven't shown on here.

2021

I really hope 2021 is better than 2020. Thats all I'm going to say about that. 

My shed has been finally repaired after the humungous wild cherry crushed the roof during a storm. There's another huge cherry that I'm very wary of and I think it needs to come down. I think over the years 6 of them have fallen. I think every one has been hollow at the base, which is not unusual apparently. There's several of their offspring growing in various places around the yard so I dont feel too bad about loosing the big ones. 

It's been snowing frozen ice this morning so I've not been out much except to fill up the feeders. I did go out and yelled at the Coopers Hawk that frightened off the birds I was photographing. Just looking out the little bastard is still there. The feeders were very active until he showed up. They wont come back until he moves off. I yelled at him but he was high up in one of the tall oaks and he just ignored me.
