Camera Critters mixed bag

If you want to join the fun of sharing your critters this week, click on the badge above to go join Misty's Camera Critters meme. Just make sure you sign up for the right day...I am posting this early and will join when it opens. There are always some great pictures, and usually some that make me laugh as well.

First, I would like to ask a favor of you if you are very familiar with hawks and did not see this already--would you go down and take a look at my Sky Watch post and see if you know what kind of hawk the one in the first picture is and tell me what you think or know for sure.
Now, to today's post...the one above is of course from the strip pit...there were several of these. What do you think they are...are they trumpeter swans? I took several pictures and this is the best...it was so darn cold I couldn't hold the camera steady.
The calves above are on the way home from the strip pit...at least on the long way home. I wonder if the owners see me stopping and taking photos...I stop quite often to take a few pictures. I hope this summer that I can see someone out and talk to them though I am pretty sure by now that they have figured out I mean no harm.

And do you know what kind of cow the brown one is...I have seen a few here and there but am not really familiar with it. I have been doing a quick google, but being that I have no idea what it is I am not having much luck.
And I just had to include the ones below.
As I have told you before, Puss Puss really loves Roger. She is definitely his girl. Isn't this just the most utter look of contentment?

  7. Your cat isn't a great mouse-catcher then?
    Or he uses different methods to stop the mouse from moving anywhere. He's just a smart cat! Lovely critters!

  12. Hi, Rose. I love the cows--I've never seen that kind before. I like the shaggy fur.

    Thanks for stopping by today. I think setting up the blind would be a great way to to get some wonderful close-ups of the birds. Be sure to post the results if you decide to try it!
