    The snow storm has brought a number of interesting birds around the house. This morning a Blue Jay joined the local Steller's Jays. We will sometimes see Blue Jay or two in May and September. Also this morning was this Band-tailed Pigeon. They are a native mountain pigeon that mostly nest in ponderosa pine and Douglas fir, and not so much in the higher elevation Englemann spruce and sub alpine fir.

    The Steller's Jay in the pics is a juvenile that is in distress and not doing well. The puffed up feathers are a sign of cold and stress. It's unusual for these hardy mountain birds.

    Laws aren't "preventable" measures. IOW, more gun laws won't stop mass shootings.

    I recently bought a trailer from a neighbor not too far away and their neighbors were there for a visit.

    Is that the snake wrapped around his leg? That's pretty cool. Nice catch.

    That is a snake wrapped around his leg. If you watch all the photos in a row, you see nothing the frame by frame the snake moving up it’s leg and the hawk trying to get it off. Ending the a few grams from that one the hawk ripping something off the snake and it going limp.

    In my back yard, I'm amazed at the diversity of birds around here, makes me want to invest in a decent camera.

    I can't seem to get away from these little bastards. Went out to do poop patrol in yard. Must've walked right over this little guy...didn't even see it. Maybe a half-minute later I saw two Corgis playing with something, sniffing and jumping back from whatever it was. Went to look and saw this baby rattlesnake. Rounded up dogs inside. Turned little snake into two-piece little snake and disposed of it. Checked all over yard as good as I could but didn't find others. No idea where it came from. 45 mins later no one is showing any signs/symptoms of bite. That's all I need.

    And before one of you wiseasses asks...I don't where the snake got the $1 bill.
