Here is a link to my Flickr page where I have posted appropriate videos for some of my iNat observations. Enjoy and learn about our specimen's lives. The videos are crude and the camera is hand-held making for a bit of distraction, but the nice thing is they are short and add a dimension to the observation, I think.

Let me know what you think.

Greater number than I've seen in previous years - but that isn't saying much.

Fall migration definitely underway. White Pelicans flying south on the North wind riding thermals as the temps heat up this morning. As seen on flickr:

To me they really look like Pteranodons more than other birds which don't. Oh, wait, maybe Man O'War, the pelagic fish eater do, but aren't they also related to Pelicans? As a matter of fact, yes, Man O' War is a Pelecaniforme. These days this Fregatidae is better known as the Magnificent Frigatebird. Birds and Pterosaurs are not related as you know.

Back again the next day with another kill. This one I did not see take place. She allowed me to photograph her while she ate. Later she moved lower in the tree allowing a closer look after she finished her meal.

She's back! And secured another meal without a whimper. This bird has been visiting our place downtown for a year now. She behaved this way last year but often missed grabbing herself a meal from the Sparrows that roost in our Loquats in the evening. She seems to be so apt at capturing her prey, scarcely a day goes by without me seeing the results. Pardon the poor quality photo, but it's off the video.
