Subdeacon Joe Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Some of you may recall my posts last October during the Glass Incident Fire. I was out this morning taking April for her morning constitional. I took a few photos of the hills. Some of the photos from October and the two I took today.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Looks like it is coming back. Even grew a bird feeder. That California soil must be something else. Grows lettuce, gold and bird feeders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also is a nice shot of the hillside near where the high school kids put the class year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. James H. Callahan Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 It will probably be amazing. Had a bad range fire some years ago near here. Year or two later the burned places looked like a golf course and that that didn't was brown dead weeds. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you can't tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw it closer a bit later. It's a Coopers Hawk. Just as it took its position in that photo all the Finches and Chicadees disappeared from the other feeders. The Hawk then took a perch in a pine tree near us. After about 10 minutes the Finches etc. were back at the feeders. We heard a CLANG! as the Hawk hit a feeder in a try at a kill, then we saw it fly off. I don't know if it was successful. We have been seeing it more frequently so it must be having some success. A few weeks ago we saw it dive into the bushes next to the unit across the sidewalk from us. On a bird watching FB page someone had posted a photo of a hawk feeding on one of "her" little birds and commented "So sad. Nature can never so mean." I don't understand that mindset. Nature is Nature. It is violent, it is territorial, it isn't a Disney cartoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
