The great outdoors came to me the other day. I came home to this hawk eating a duck in my front yard.

Camping this weekend. Saw a bird drinking from our roof gutter but he flew away before I could get a picture. Few hours later another or the same bird grabbing another drink.

My goodness, male turkeys are such awkward and ugly creatures. The tail feathers look pretty, but other than that. To think Ben Franklin wanted that to be our national bird - well I guess looking at the country today it wouldn't be that far off.

There is an interesting story as to why Franklin wanted the turkey.

Weekend with the family at Jackson-Washington State Forest. Amazing weather and endless fun for a few young turkeys....
