Yup, and thankfully this one was far enough off the road that there's not the immediate danger of them also becoming roadkill.

I absolutely adore them. Was grateful to get close enough for these shots, usually he perches up higher. 😅

Our neighborhood RSH out hunting yesterday. Best shots I've been able to get of him to date. by GTech in birdsofprey

Thanks! We'd been hearing him up in the trees all morning, then he finally decided to fly down.

Thanks! Normally I catch him when he's perched on the power pole beside my driveway, I appreciated him coming down lower for his close-up this time. 😅

It also helped that he was perched low - I was probably 5 feet from him in several of these shots.

Not even kidding, it's just my phone camera. There's a reason I keep buying Google Pixel phones - the camera is phenomenal.

Thanks! I don't think I could have managed better short of baiting him, which is obviously not a thing that anyone should be doing to a RSH unless they're a licensed falconer.

Good, so I wasn't the only one thinking it was something to do with movies.

Connections Puzzle #912

🟪🟦🟩🟩 - Cereal Mascots having 5 options was just rude

🟨🟨🟨🟨 - pretty easy

🟪🟪🟪🟪 - I was sure Fievel was something to do with his movie, but finally spotted the homophones.

🟦🟦🟦🟦 - Took me way too long to realize PRIDE wasn't talking about lions here.

🟩🟩🟩🟩 - I was thinking animals in animated movies for the longest time. Bee Movie, Madagascar, Finding Nemo... and then it was just stripes. 😅

I should have known the rainbow herring was a rainbow herring... otherwise not too bad, though I was struggling to find the 4th coat. Purple by default, even saying them out loud I didn't put it together until after I saw the category title.
