OT Things to ponder

booby traps? [:-]

Here's another pic. You can just see the rounded tips of her tail feathers. That's the main distinguishing characteristic of the Cooper's that tells you it's not a Sharp-Shinned Hawk.

[geofflambert]

She just stood up to stretch her legs.

[geofflambert]

The squirrels got tired of waiting for her to leave, so they started foraging again.

[geofflambert]

She moved to the fence on the other side of my yard.

[geofflambert]

Flew off shortly after this. I went out and couldn't find any remains of whatever she was feeding on.

Nice Cooper's Hawk pictures, geofflambert. [8D]

The diameter of that pipe is 1.25 inches. I calculate from that that this bird is 15 inches long which would mean it is most likely a he, not a her. According to the Wiki an adult female should be between 17 and 20 inches. Mea culpa (my bad).

And we're stuck with your avatar. It's the best there is, though.

The best non-mosquito themed one would be my caveat there. [:'(]

There is actually a very geeky answer for that. The age and sophistication of a language is often measured by how many words the language has for colors. Black and white are the first words to evolve. Words for the color orange tend to come along fairly late in the evolution. The term didn't exist in English until 1512. The name of the color did come from the French word for the fruit. Before common usage in English, the color was described as yellow-red, though sometimes "saffron" was used for the color. Other terms for orange were red deer, red hair, and robin redbreast.

Probably way more than anyone wanted to know...
