Tonight’s movie selection is “The Big Sleep” (1946) starring Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, a fair number of cigarettes and some pretty great wardrobe

Saw this lovely group of Sandhill Cranes a couple of weeks ago. They were part of a much, much larger flock, grazing in a stubble field. I wonder how far they’ve travelled since then? #birds 🌿

Angry Junior Cooper’s hawk is ready with a Shakespearean curse:

“Away, you starvelling, you elf-skin, you dried neat’s-tongue, bull’s-pizzle, you stock-fish!”
