My latest Swainson's Hawk video is live. Not for the faint of heart (contains animal predation). Feel free to share, like and subscribe.

A wildlife play in four scenes…
I. A great egret, in Morningside Park in NYC, reflecting on what to have for an early dinner.
II. Oh, my, a nice fish (the largest I've ever seen in that pond)!
III. Always swallow fish head-first, so that the fins don't catch.
IV. Look at the bulge in its throat as the fish goes down…

A right profile view of the egret amidst some water plants, with its reflection in the still water in front of it.The egret is now facing me with a decent-sized gold fish—I’d guess about 20 cm— in its beak. The bird and the fish are both nicely reflected in the water.The fish’s head is now fully inside the egret’s mouth, but much of its body and the tail are sticking out to the left side of the beak. It’s a left profile view, again with a good reflection.A left profile view (with reflection), with a noticeable bulge in the throat just below the head.

This fellow is Number Forty-Two on our Kitchen Window List.

(Yes: we have a "List." We didn't used to but it just gradually came into being. Now I feel a competition with myself.)

It's not a very sharp picture but enough to identify him: a Yellow-throated warbler. He showed up for some suet early this morning.

I was half-expecting him. He had been visiting a suet feeder a couple of hundred metres away from us a few days ago. And one of the flickers had chopped up lotsa suet for him from the suet holder above. Those flickers are pigs but the other birds appreciate it.

Black-and-white marked bird with a bright yellow patch under its longish bill, picking at suet on a dark wet rail with way-out-of-focus greenery behind it.
