The rough-legged hawk on the west end of Galveston was still there yesterday. It did a couple of feeding sessions with sitting inbetween http://www.pbase.com/joseph_kennedy_36/image/148877962 http://www.pbase.com/joseph_kennedy_36/image/148877960 It almost perched on the blue house again while hunting next door http://www.pbase.com/joseph_kennedy_36/image/148877955 It sat on a pole for 15-20 minutes which leads to exciting pictures as the bird turns its head from side to side http://www.pbase.com/joseph_kennedy_36/image/148877945 http://www.pbase.com/joseph_kennedy_36/image/148877948 Finally it showed some interest http://www.pbase.com/joseph_kennedy_36/image/148877953 And went off to the west for a session. It went down way back but eventually came up and hunted its way back to the highway and the above flying shots http://www.pbase.com/joseph_kennedy_36/image/148877954 A stop on 61st street had brown pelicans getting spring colors http://www.pbase.com/joseph_kennedy_36/image/148877937 and feet that grip well http://www.pbase.com/joseph_kennedy_36/image/148877938 Lots of yellowlegs, mostly lesser on crab street in Surfside http://www.pbase.com/joseph_kennedy_36/image/148877936 The lesser yellowlegs have little sign of spring molt now http://www.pbase.com/joseph_kennedy_36/image/148877933 But are hungry http://www.pbase.com/joseph_kennedy_36/image/148877934 The pearland bald eagle nest was also exciting; a small head showed for a second but the adult never turned its head http://www.pbase.com/joseph_kennedy_36/image/148877932 http://www.pbase.com/joseph_kennedy_36/image/148877929 All the pictures can be browsed at http://www.pbase.com/joseph_kennedy_36/inbox -- Joseph C.
