When Pigeons Fly~

When the Pigeons fly, you know that something must be on the hunt, or at least many of the times and in this case, they were.

Twenty - thirty feet to the far right and the sky light changed, as well as the appearance of the same Red-shouldered hawk, perched and hunting for rodents over a nearby field~

Letting go of a tiny bird feather, was all that remained after this Cooper's Hawk had dined ~

Yep, the second image in the middle of collage above...that would be raptor poop~

It seemed to be giving me a glare as it flew toward my car window~

 * Some may have noticed if you look closely at any of my images lately...many have a tiny, single red and green dot.  You can see these pretty vividly on these images...example the image above...the wing to your right has them on it.  
I was told the other day, that I may have a stuck, or dead pixel...  I just looked on line and there are different tests to check and hopefully correct this, and I shall see what happens in coming days~

Geesh... all of the Glacier National Park Entries~

I am going to take you on a little ride along the "Going to the Sun Road" in Glacier National Park~

The drive along the "Going to the Sun Road" was getting ready for major renovations the day after we were visitng~ 

Common Yarrow~

Fireweed~

Rock Pigeons flying into the rain band~

I had the worst time trying to ID some of the wild flowers in Glacier National Park, even using their wild flower list... I found it impossible.  The yellow flower may be a Common Mullein~ 

The rains came and stayed for the entire day, with very little window of sunshine, but when it showed, the views were magnificent~

Indian Paintbrush were vibrant additions along the drive taken~

I am thinking that this may have been a Golden Eagle soaring, based on the wingspan and size, yet once again, the rain was falling, and it was a difficult situation~

My husby drives a motorcycle at home sometimes, but he said that he would have never desired taking this ride in the rain~

Once we had arrived on the east end of the "Going to the Sun Road", the sky had finally cleared and the scenes were awe inspiring, absolutely majestic in every direction one chose to look~

Our cabin at Glacier National Park was very charming and rustic~

Another collage of bird images taken in the falling rain.  The bird on the left is some species of  hawk, center is an Eagle, and then on the nest... may be a hawk, though this looks like an old Osprey nest...
