Two Toms and one hen became a turkey drama today. The bout lasted 3-4 minutes while the uninterested hen quietly walked away. 🦉🪶

Watched this beautiful hawk for several minutes as it made several low passes today over the partially iced duck pond - Lee Metcalf NWR, Stevensville, Montana.

Is this a hen harrier vs female northern harrier? Struggling with identification... 🦉🪶

We watched a beautiful red-tailed hawk at Lee Metcalf NWR today. It was -3° out but he/she didn't seem to mind.

Nice catch light reflection in the eye but he would not get far from the tree he was hanging out in. Photo credit to my partner.🦉🪶

Photo of a red-tailed hawk in flight with wings fully extended. Seen from underneath, he is buff-colored with dark banding at the edges of his feathers. A distinct catch light reflection is visible in his right eye. The sky behind him is brilliant blue with no clouds. A few tree branches are behind him, slightly out of focus, adding a little boca for depth.

I just finished carving some small pins for my crazy cat lady daughter. I used holes for the eyes so the eyes would become the color of her shirt - kindred pals. 🫶🥰 Hand-carved from cherry wood. Still learning...

Two hand carved cat pins/brooches on white paper towel. The cat on the left is black. The cat on the right is natural wood color, slightly reddish. Each of the cats have holes for eyes to reveal the color of the wearer's shirt behind the pin. A quarter and penny are in front of the pins to indicate size.

This is my favorite pie plate ever - has chickens on it.

I baked a cranberry apple pie in it. My grandmother never really gave compliments but would occasionally say "it'll do". That was a win 💯👍 This pie is not a real beauty but, "it'll do" 🥧🍽️
