Barred Owl

A friend, Sheldon Gottlieb, sent me this. He noticed him land there through his kitchen window and then grabbed his camera and 400mm lens.  Of note he is a great photographer but usually shoots people and places. If that branch wasn't there this would be in a magazine!

New Year's in WV

We had a great time out there. The fresh snow was great although the roads during the storm inside and outside of RR were treacherous.

Yes, I see you.

A new batch of Amarone from the White Tail estate. Yum!

Latest Birding List from HH. Lots of great sightings despite the winter!

These sightings are from the RR Park and then up Sideling Mtn Trail.
