This is a terrible thing to do...





But I'm stuck short on time and I want to post this stuff up. So here are just a few vids.

 Juvenile sharp tailed grouse.

The sound of silence. Or is that the sound of grazing? The world is a beautiful place.

Morning ranch view.

What a calf believes she sees no wise man has the power to reason away...

I have to drag a previous video up to pre-'splain this one...

And now for the good stuff. As I was checking fence on the west quarter I startled a juvenile Swainson's (I believe) hawk into flight. But he/she isn't a very good flyer yet. Much wonder and beauty ensued...







Be well and embrace the blessings of liberty.

    We see raptors here in Philly, and I once walked out the back door after a light snowstorm to see a hawk standing in the snow surrounded by a ring of bloody feathers.
    The hawk looked at me with a "What the f*** are you looking at?" attitude and kept on eating.

    As the other commenters said, Nature is beautiful.

    Wonder how many driving I-80 find your area bleak, barren, and boring?
