September 22

Through My Kitchen Window

I have a huge picture window in my kitchen.
It allows me to keep track of the visitors who come to my bird feeders.

Houston's position on the Central Flyway makes it a hotspot for fall migration.
The Upper Texas Coast witnesses a steady flow of migratory birds beginning as early as July and lasting through November.
Many species hug the coastline on their way to South and Central America for the winter.

It is estimated that 95% of the U.S. Broad-winged hawk population passes along the Texas Gulf Coast,
plus huge populations of Red-tailed, Coopers, Swainsons, Sharp-shinned hawks, Mississippi Kites,
American Kestrels and Peregrine Falcons.

#22 for the ALL ABOUT ME challenge for September.

what a great capture... I have fed the birds too and I am breaking in a new yard but lots of neighborhood cats... I can't id this but I know it is not a red tail so my guess is a coopers.. guess...v
