Phil, my #CoopersHawk friend, stopped by the tree in my yard again today. Maybe he should be called #Sheldon because, that's his spot.

I spotted Ian looking for #snacks in the tree behind my building the other day. Ian is a #redbellied #woodpecker. No. He doesn't know why either.

This is Phil, he's been hanging out behind my building. He's a #CoopersHawk . I had to crop way down since the full image, while excellent, is pretty gruesome. He's disassembling a pigeon here.

That's my fave of his albums. I was pleasantly surprised when one of its tracks, Come On Up to the House, featured at the end of Wake Up Dead Man, the newest in the Knives Out Series of films.

This is Pete. Pete is a #HoodedMerganser #duck paddling around the #resevoir at #CentralPark. Pete would like to suggest that there's no wrong time for for formal wear if that's what your feeling.

Ryan and I walked out into a field with some cameras and decrepid old chairs. This was my fav from the lot I shot.

We're 2/3 through #inktober at day 20 with #rivals. I could have gone with Mozart and Salieri but I drew this and it's in ink so there you go. To be fair in my experience they're mostly allies.
