The Security Cam is Down – Who You Gonna Call for Backup?
Oh, the irony.

File this one under silly nonsense.

UPDATE: Speaking of Red Tailed Hawks, two fellow bloggers have been following an ongoing story out of Ithaca, NY, this summer. One of the fledglings at Cornell University had been injured, requiring surgery. Read more at the blogs of circuitousjourney and dearkitty1.

Thanks to Michelle W and WordPress for their Weekly Photo Challenge: Contrasts. Looks like this building has enlisted a pair of Red Tailed Hawks to augment their roof-top security cameras. I couldn’t resist the irony and the contrasts of new-technology and Nature’s original (and best) hawk-eye tech.
Thanks to Paula for her wonderful Thursday’s Special Non-Challenge challenge.
Thanks to Cee for her Odd Ball Photo challenge.
Thanks once again to Stewart Monckton for hosting the Wild Bird Wednesday challenge.
Thanks to Wordless Wednesday for the Wordless Wednesday challenge.

Fabulous photo and title. Love it. 🙂
Thanks so much, Cee, I had fun with this one, glad you like it!
😀 Clever!
Thanks, Paula. That pair of hawks have been seen perching on that cam for at least the past 9 years, but this was the first I had seen both male and female together. Glad you like it!
clever 🙂
Thanks for visiting and commenting, Suzanne, glad you like this one! I was in the right place at the right time that day.
Funny:). I saw two hawks the other day on an overhead lamp fixture – it was a tiny space but they both fit snuggly;)
Thanks, glad you like this one, and interesting that you noticed a pair snug on a lamp – they seem to have strong pair bonds.
Ohh – I think you gave to call The Hawkbusters:)
Perfect – Hawkbusters! Now I have that old movie theme song wafting through my brain. 🙂
You got me first!! With ‘who you gonna call’ – I have been humming this song for over a day now:)
Oh no – more than a day?! Now I’ve got it going again, too, infectious little tune. 🙂
lol…ghost busters, oh I mean hawk busters:-)
Giggling, yes – hawkbusters! Thanks for visiting and commenting again, Robbie!
🙂 just had to say it! lol
🙂
I wonder if the hawks were trying to figure out how to tap into the video feed so that they could relax and watch their TV to see if there were mice running around to catch?
Ah, very good guess! Or not. 🙂 Glad you like this one, thanks for commenting here again.
Brilliantly funny.
Thanks Margaret, so glad you like this bit of humor!
Delightful shot as always! You never fail to meet the challenge.
Thanks, Gunta, so glad you like this one, appreciate your kind words!
lol, that´s fun. 🙂 Loved it!
So glad you like it, thanks for visiting and commenting here!
They usually wait until you’re ready to shoot then, whooshka, they’re gone. 😦
Elusive, aren’t they? Thanks for visiting and commenting again!
You’re always welcome.
Nice picture – I always like images that blend the natural and the man-made.
Sorry for slow reply – hectic weeks!
Cheers – Stewart M
Thanks, Stewart, glad you like it!
I have had an owl land on top of my trail camera housing before! It activated the camera but by the time it turned on there was nothing there but I could hear noise and see the camera moving!
Hi Wayne. It’s a good thing that model of cam had audio so at least you could hear the Owl even if it evaded visual detection! Could you tell from the audio what kind of Owl it was?
Bard Owl,as I saw it flying off.
Very cool! A Bard Owl must surely hoot in Shakespearean couplets?
