Bird of Prey - Peregrine?  sat in the tree for a very long time with the birds chattering around and a robin dive bombing.  swooped in to grab a baby squirrel.  I thought there was one bird but looking at the pictures I see there was two.  Mom teaching baby to hunt???  https://www.flickr.com/photos/145857056 ... 9156344863 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/145857056@N07/albums/72157669156344863)

the images load when I click on them.  Can anyone tell me how to upload images.  I do not understand the existing forum and the comments on "img" etc.  If I direct load from my computer they are too big.

When you go the photo on flickr, click on the share button at the lower right (it looks like a rightwards pointing arrow).
There are four options: "share", "embed", "email", and "bbcode".
Choose bbcode. Choose a reasonably small size ("medium  800 x 600 is good) and copy the text from the box and paste it in your post here. It will look something like this:

Code: [Select]
