Perfectly beautiful shots everyone. Love that Red-Bellied WP and amazing Hawk, not to mention that creepy, spooky red-eyed Owl.

Thanks everyone for your Baltimore Oriole advice. jec we live on 5 acres with mostly open fields but do have several mature trees in our yard and also lots that border our property on 2 sides. I had no idea Orioles would eat/drink Hummingbird nectar. I have 5 HB feeders out our Ruby Throated's come to, but have never seen an Oriole at one. I'm gonna try the orange and jelly platform feeder as well and see if that helps.

Here's one of 4 male Cardinals (and 6 females) who are daily visitors. It's a little strange though that none are fighting over territorial rights, at least not yet. A common bird and one I never tire of seeing or hearing.
