The fledgling owls are a constant source of inspiration. They are almost ready to start hunting school.

We found these Long-ear owl fledglings in a park just a few blocks from our home. So beautiful and so curious, it was amazing to watch them try to figure out what we were doing.

The Northern Harrier, IMHO one of the most beautiful birds of prey on the planet.

We've been very busy of late cataloguing the thousands of photos in our files. I'm working on all the raptors, so I'll be posting some of my favorites from the 13K+ from which I can choose.

Barn - yes. Owl - yes. Barn owl - no!
Nature messes with logic (priceless).

I guess JD Vance won’t be voting either. SAD!

Look at the SAVE Act, now in both the Senate and House. Wants to stop people from voting who have a different last name from the one on their birth certificate. What major population in the US primarily has a different last name? You guessed, WOMEN! CALL YOUR CONGRESSPERSON AND RAISE HECK!

White women who voted for these men piss me off in particular.
Peter Thiel says women shouldn’t be allowed to vote & Vance is down with it.
