The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 240. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
On the way back from Hilo last week I saw this pueo standing on a post. I stopped the car and got out to take photos. I saw immediately that the pueo was watching my progress and, before I got any decent photos, it took off and headed across the road and away from me. Since I didn’t see it above the fields there, I figured it had settled down again.
Sure enough as I got to the curve in the road I saw it on this post. I moved slowly towards it taking a few photos. Eventually, it decided I had come close enough and took off again. I saw it fly a ways up the hill and settle on yet another post. I didn’t follow, otherwise I could have ended up back in Hilo!

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Flight.’ See more responses here. I finally winnowed a raft of options down to just the birds. Captions on the photos as usual.
I used something called dry brush effect, in Photoshop Elements, on this photo and I quite like it. In truth, it’s not a lot different than the original, but the contrasts are better.

I rarely see Nutmeg Mannikins around the house, but when the Cane Grass goes to seed, they show up in force.
The Pueo below made short work of this unfortunate mouse. no chewing involved!
I was driving the mountain road back to Hawi, when I saw this Pueo flying. I pulled over, but didn’t see it again, until I realized it was perched on a rock on the hillside above. It was watching me.
I took some photos and was lucky enough to catch the bird taking off, before heading over a ridge and out of sight.
