Just when I think you can't get any better, you post yet another cracker jack image. This is wildly beautiful and exciting.

Is this a painting? Was Scott back in NJ by this time?

Ditto Grace. I see a cover in this photographs future. How does a decoy owl attract rather than scare the kestrel?

Hawks will mob an Owl if they find in daylight.
