Neighbors and friends contributed great photos of wildlife in December: Sandhill Cranes flying south over Peachtree Park, a possum looking for birdseed, a Cooper’s Hawk hunting in a parking deck at Lenox mall and an owl box newly mounted way up high at owl-height. Credits and photo descriptions are at the bottom of the post. Thank you all and Happy New Year!
Photo Credits
[1] Greg Thomas heard the unmistakable sound of Sandhill Cranes flying high over Peachtree Park on December 22 and snapped this great photo with his iPhone.
[2] Stella and Jack Wissner have a guest living in their back yard. Stella took two great photos their resident possum looking for food under their bird feeder and resting in a tree.
[3] Cindy Mayer convinced somebody to mount her Barred Owl box very high in a pine; we reckon somewhere between 30 and 40 feet judging from the photo. See our post: Here’s Looking at You for more on Cindy’s Barred owls.
[4] Jan Kuttnauer sent us a photo of a Cooper’s Hawk sitting on an automobile as she was coming back to her car from an exercise session at Lenox mall. Think he’s hunting for rodents?
