  1. Sharp-shinned Hawk Accipiter striatus
  2. Dusky Grouse Dendragapus obscurus
  3. Result of September 9th ice storm in New Mexico. Iced Douglas fir, Yucca and Cholla cactus.

  5. I remember them by the mnemonic "Il Est Grand, Charles".
  6. Swainsons Hawks are back in New Mexico:
  7. Ed can you provide references for this?
  8. It's actually a female Red-winged Blackbird
  9. I started in the 1960s as an impoverished student. Everything seemed very expensive. Including film and processing. Exposing a roll of Kodachrome 64, and finding out ten days later when I got it back from the processing lab, that I had completely messed up something or other, certainly taught me a lot - but at a price, financially as well as in frustration. I'm in the "get a digital camera and play around until you understand it, then experiment with film" camp for sure.
  10. Maneuverability is everything when it comes to avian warfare. Incidentally, the attacker isn't a sparrow. More likely a kingbird. Several species are found in U.S, is this Eastern?
  11. And his mate was in Ecuador
  12. A really challenging spot the peregrine post:
  13. Pale-margined Flycatcher among wet branches
  14. The perennial conundrum with these two species. I'm going Coopers - based on the way the "forehead" slopes down to the bill, and the rounded tail tip with fairly broad white terminal band. Other opinions?
  15. Interested in owls? Snowy Owls should be fairly easy to find in the farmlands around Winnipeg at that time. Great Grey Owls are possible in the forested areas to the east, but November may be early for them, and numbers vary from year to year. I would suggest contacting Nature Manitoba. eBird will have up to date information on bird sightings.
