Day 17.294: Halloween birding

Our Halloween started with a visit to the cemetery for our weekly nature/birding walk. Here's the birding summary.

We spotted this red-tailed hawk perched a little way off, it seems the spotting was mutual.

White-throated sparrow

Adult bald eagle - unmistakable even at an unfavorable angle

A little while later, I saw the hawk return to its tree with something it had caught. It turned out to be a small bird - which we then watched it make short work of eating

After spending a minute or so plucking a few feathers, it was about three mouthfuls

Carolina wren

...checking us out perhaps

Yellow-bellied sapsucker
