Always nice to hear

Spaniel unsure what to make of walking turkey vulture.

This white oak in our Canadian town is estimated to be 340 years old, germinating around 1685.

I’ve become enamoured of black & white

Keep trying, Pee Pee. Maybe cosplaying Pete Hegseth will work for you.

Pup unsure whether to proceed toward large carrion-eating bird in park today.

Gotta find myself some of the 6% ABV yellow. Had two greens today—they were delicious, but you feel the 10% ABV

Gorgeous photo of a gorgeous bird. Saw my first in Karura Forest in Nairobi last November. Just bad iphone photos, but the prey is cool.

In Canada we treat it more like a fine wine.

Came across this in the woods this winter (Bruce Trail in Ontario).

Hey. I was there in November!

Here's one from Ontario yesterday (iPhone photo)

From Bronte Provincial Park a few weeks ago. (Bad iPhone photos, but cool look at one eating prey.)

We have one of these prints in our living room. Just love it.

What's sun?

Reminds me of an old, late friend.

I don't know. English cockers are tough competition.

For good reason . . .

But I suspect in the PNW it is this little guy that might be more likely confused with a House Sparrow. (Chestnut-backed Chickadee.)

A better picture of the spaniel, though . . .

Heard sandhill cranes while walking the spaniel today. And saw a pileated woodpecker. A warm, sunny day in Ontario.

These two—with the same punchable face.

Iran this afternoon

Nice. This is one of two that we saw at Lake Naivasha in late November. Neat bird—and one that I hadn't been expecting to see.

Not the best picture of them—but lots of groups like this were passing over

This should do.
