I made an ass out of myself once in high school. Somehow I got into honors English (I think the teacher liked me for some reason and encouraged me to take it). I was over my head. The class was in a open-form round circle discussion of some author from the 1800’s and someone made a comment or...
You could be right though Goshawks are comparatively rare and fairly shy and elusive vs the others mentioned which are more common and easily seen. Would be awesome if it was a Goshawk. I’ve only seen a few.
Back in the late 1970’s I got special permission along with some others to go onto the property of the Concord Naval Weapons station in Concord, California so we could include parts of this vast open land (but heavily guarded and off limits) near an urban center in our Christmas Bird Count...
Could be a Cooper’s Hawk which are quite common and often come closer to animals and humans than the larger buteo hawks do, if you're near woods. Though they aren’t as big as red tailed hawks. Otherwise might be a Northern Harrier or Swainsons Hawk, maybe a younger one with less coloring. That...
Not really in my opinion. Falcons very pointed, thinner wings and narrow tail. Goshawk shorter and fatter wings with a longer and squarer tail. Falcons fly with deliberate, pumping like and more constant wing beats, Goshawks and other accipiters have quicker bursts of wing beats and follow with...
Ornithologists. Hornothologists are those who get a different kind of kick from birding than I do.:D I was heavily into birding in my late teens and early 20’s. Traveled a lot around the states and got my life list over 600. Had a load of bird feeders and hummingbird feeders in my yard. Chased...
Anything you own that independently or collectively is worth more than $500 you might be best to explicitly ask your agent about its coverage. I have a nice vintage camera collection that surprisingly is worth twice what it was worth only 5-10 years ago and I needed a rider to be fully covered...
So they were promised to be paid but weren’t? Or it was implied they would be and then weren’t? Or did they do it and hoped they’d be paid and weren’t?
I sold my HT20 Studio head for a DSL40CR combo. My Les Paul asked me what the heck took me so long! The Blackstar was good, very good. But the DSL is like butta’. Amazing amp. I recommend going the 40 over the 20. The DSL is also a great contrasting compliment to my Lil’ Dawg 12 watt Tweed...
I saw that. I like him. But I don’t believe the $900 a day, at least not every day. Maybe his best day of the week or maybe a few times per month? Or best day ever? I mean a typical shine takes about 8-10 minutes and costs about $15 a pop. For $900 a day that would be a shine back to back every...
