Snapped this one of the extremely rare Nearsighted Wing Thrasher (tracicus micklioticus).
They usually only come out at night and are very cannibilistic, eating only the parts of other birds.
Apparently they are allergic to fresh water, drinking only some amber colored, brackish swill.

Monster snake!

I photographed this monster last fall on the porch of my hunting camp. A friend of mine was there and walked out on the porch,saw this snake and came running back in the cabin screening like a little girl (he's 50 something years old). He cowered behind the screen door and watched me get down on my belly and in the face of this monster to get this photograph. The boards on the porch are 1"x6" so you can tell that this snake isn't much more than 12" long, a rat snake I thnk.

On my way to the shop this morning, at the corner of the chicken house. He's a pen raised bird released on public land for the hunters. Hardly wild.

I was working on a knife and looked out and saw this hawk. He/She stayed long enough for me to go into the house and grab my camera. I slowly walked up on it and got as close as 8 feet.

What is this thing? We have them around here, and they freak my kids out. I've never gotten to find out the details...
