BIENVENIDOS / WELCOME to WAYWARDMUSE'S CHANNEL:

SONORAN DESERT WILDLIFE AND MORE

Judy Kennedy (a wayward muse) is a nature mystic and disabled visual media artist specializing in the Arizona Sonoran Desert. The Sonoran Desert is the United States' most ecologically diverse desert - especially in the state of Arizona. With an abounding love for her home, Judy's videos mostly feature wildlife in its natural setting with accompanying landscapes and skyscapes as varied and unique as her stylistic expressions. She serves this inimitable beauty and hopes that her art inspires others in their own conservation efforts. Judy is also a versatile writer of creative nonfiction and a composer of music which can be heard in many of her videos.

Thanks for visiting & enjoy!

Yeah its defiantly a mature sharpie. The only thing it could be confused for is a coopers hawk coopers are usually a bit bigger but with reverse sexual dimorphisim that alone can make it tough. But there are clear ways to distiguish and your video actually makes it easy because one of the easiest and quickest ways to distinguish between the two species is the tail shape while perched. A sharpie like this has a very distinct squared off tail end where a coopers has a rounded one. Coopers will also have a cap like colouration on their heads while a sharpie has a hood that joins onto its back. Accipiters are my favorite raptors and raptors are my favorite animals of gods creation.

That's such a wild observation, literally. I've never observed a rattlesnake eating a bird. Some great close-ups in this one, nice touch with the magenta. If that's your house at the end, you sure live in a spectacular area.
@waywardmuse
@waywardmuse 4 месяца назад
Thank you very much! And yes, that is my house. It is a spectacular area and was recently threatened by a wildfire to the extent we were evacuated. A very near miss - could see the flames from my house. The fire went straight down the Vekol wash so that gorgeous desert willow tree is probably burned to a crisp. Now. Of course I did a video of that too which we be going up in a few days. Beauty has its risks. . .

I read that, when they eat the milkweed, there's a chemical response in their bodies which results in the manufacture of cardiac glycocides. The presence of this substance acts as a deterrent to bats, a predator of moths.
