thank you Mr Gus. Woodcarving is special.
I don't remember that carving, being a perhaps not observant enough neighbor, but ... the giveaway is the grass. Grass is white here today.
WATCH OUT FOR FRED!!!!!
Otherwise, thanks for the report. Love dem boids.
The red-tailed hawk, Pale Male, still lives on Fifth Avenue. Plenty of pigeons for him and his family.

All I saw was the actual moment that he struck the 3-4 inches of snow a couple dozen feet from the road side, did a highstep to adjust his grip, then fly off with his writhing prey. All in all, the whole thing probably lasted about 3 seconds.
That was the only time I've ever seen anything like that in my life - besides on the animal channel or something. That was about 6 years ago, but thinking of it still impresses me.
I was there circa 1964-65 when it was 2nd Army Headquarters. Not only the best army post I was ever assigned to, it was fairly nice in its own right.
Ya know, Dys, lacking an actual photo, I should tell you NW NM is crawling with red tailed pigeons.
Now, we do have red tail hawks in Farmington, and a couple of pairs of bald eagles in the winter. That's Farmington, though.
we have red tailed hawks here.
So far though, I have only collected one feather.
