Well, Sis and I spent all evening and this morning -- cameras in hand! We usually have hawks all over around here. Do you think one would come around for us to snap a picture? NO!
But we did manage to make some of the "animals of prey" a bit nervous by stalking the yard trying to get pictures of them.
I made collages, because we managed six "birds/animals of prey" each. These are updates for both @GroguFan and @stratasfan
The neighbor's outdoor cats pretty much live in our bushes, but they are super scared of people. We tried photographing them, but no dice. So, we took Oliver outside as our Feline entry!
Oh, and even a skunk was nice enough to come around for a bit under the bird feeder. Maybe he figured it was easier to come out than have us looking for him! I also got a raccoon on the deck, though Sis wins! She got a picture of the whole racoon family eating at the bird feeding station. They come in pretty much every night.
Across the street live attack Dobermans which have been trained to attack everything and everyone in the neighborhood, so we had to include them.
We went down to the lake at the end of the street (hoping to find a Hawk), and we ended up finding Cormorants! They're migrating, so they're not here for very long.
@CanaDaLE I included the Vulture pics here, because maybe it's easier for you to see the six prey animals separately from the complete alphabet photos.

Wow! I am SO impressed by all the birds. That is absolutely great. I would love to have done that. We have lots of bird here, but not a wide enough variety to get that many different names. Amazing!!!Here we go
I think that there were only two that i couldn't find birds for but i sure tried hard
A- American Crow
B- Bushtit
C- Canadian Goose
D- Dove
E- Egyptian Goose
F- Finch
G- Gosling (cute little thing too)
H- Hummingbird
I - Immature House Finch
J - Juvenile Western Bluebird
K- Killer Predator
L- Lesser Goldfinch
M- Mallard
N- Northern Mockingbird
O- Oriole
P- Phoebe
Q- Quill (this is a part of a bird does it get the extra point?)
R- Robin
S- Song Sparrow
T- Towhee
U- Unbelievably Long Tail
V- Very fast wings (so blurry)
W- Western Bluebird
X- An actual "X" i saw outside
Y- Young Duckling without all his feathers
Z- Ziptie
Whew i am exausted, it took all day but was alot of fun. I wish i could have found a few more birds i was looking for but i'm happy with what i got. I collaged all my photos into one to save space.

Tina - This was definitely the MOST FUN challenge yet! 
You've set a new standard! Almost made up for all those rotated-piece puzzles . . . 
(Just kidding . . . almost . . . well, maybe I sort of mean it -grin-)

I would like to give extra points to noone for taking pictures of all birds and the misunderstanding of the way I wrote the challenge. I was travelling all day yesterday and didn’t reply often to thread with clarity.

So glad you are posting these pics! I love seeing the Williamsburg scenes. Sis and I were just watching a walkthrough of Duke of Gloucester street. We'd love to go there!!Random cool letters I had taken but didn’t have time for yet. Just for fun.

This game happened to coincide with a day when my husband has relatives in town from out of state so we might have been playing tourist with them no matter what and today is Juneteenth so there’s a lot of special events going on for that we wanted to attend. It’s been events downtown in the historic area and around non-stop for us for the past couple days.
Well at least you found birds. I only found a bird-named auto.Thank you, i actually had more bird of prey photos that i didn't use because i thought it was bonus for birds in general and was focused on getting all the letters covered
