Red-Tailed Moon Cheese

We had a few amazing moonrises recently and this red-tailed hawk was begging me to take this cheesy picture -;]

Great blue heron fishing in a patch of green water plants at South Lake in Golden Gate Park.
 

Sleepy peek

I believe this is the mate of the female tucked-away owl who was showing off her hook yesterday.
 

she has a hook

My current favorite owl who I call "tucked-away owl" because she sits way up in a pine tree and is really hard to spot even when you know where to look.

I think this is a female based on the coloration. I read that females have more spots and usually are a bit more brown/darker than males. The owl I believe is her mate lives a few blocks away and seems lighter overall.

I love the way the one claw just peeks out, looking like some kind of hook on the chest.
 

Toenail moonrise over Sutro Tower

Thought this moonrise from last week was pretty fun.
