santa claus came early this year and brought us a new flash/fandangled camera so as soon as I can talk SWMBO into helping me get some pictures out of it onto here you can tell me if its any better.
saw mummy duck today as I was eating lunch 7 in her brood she popped into the creek and blow me down another with 8 popped up 200 yrds upstream of her!!! camera got a workout and the cuppa tea went cold.

Have you named them yet, Elvis? Or isn't that something you do when they are destin for your dinner table.

Yup- chunk o' tri-tip!
Glen- once in a while I'll get one posted right off my patio like this scoping the bushes for mice. He'll drop down, come back up with a mouse in his tallons if he's scucessful. Raptors are wicked cool. The beam he's on has to be 4" in diameter easy. His tallons wrap pretty far 'round same. Hate to have that latch onto my head!
