I don't want to jinx them, but I don't think the hawk can snatch anyone out from under it. THEY LOVE THIS BUSH. It is their favorite hangout in the entire Bird Park. Lucky for me it is right outside the kitchen window so I get to see them there a lot. As for the hawk, I haven't seen her since I last chased her off. Of course, I don't take credit for that. Calving season is about over so many of the big predators are leaving now. I'm hoping she's among them.asha https://www.blogger.com/profile/13624209187109099166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752461.post-56672591846947846302013-04-13T21:35:34.763-07:002013-04-13T21:35:34.763-07:00I've been playing around with my new Photoshop...I've been playing around with my new Photoshop program off and on most of the day today, so when I get another look at the picture you took of Lonely Quail Dude, I think, his coloration is perfect camouflage. SO I played with the hues, and the saturation and the intensities, and I can't do anything to make him stand out against the leaves and branches. But, I guess while our little friends were making their feathers more branch colored, the hawks were making their eyeballs better--or at least that part of their brain that sorts of movements. Such a delicate dance of survival and balance. But then, as Jon points out, along YOU come, and well, we'll just have to wait and see what happens . . .
