Minor inconvenience. Well maybe.

Minor inconvenience. Well maybe.

It wouldn’t have been bad if it didn’t happen when I was tracking along the steep side of a dam. Took a bit to get it somewhere flat, then it was about a half hour with the skid steer to get it back on. Only been running it on a wore out undercarriage for 3 years so it was bound to happen.

They never brake in a convenient spot that's for sure.

One of the farms we used to hunt down south planted some sort of variety of oats that they didnt graze but took off early and baked. Stuff was so vibrant green. Sounds dumb but you had to see it i guess.

I know what you're talking about. Idk the name but I've seen them. It almost doesn't look real.

Yah its very waxy and super bright. Pretty sure it was oats. Not 100%

Daughter had to pull her first kid. Wife was at work and my hands are too big so I coached her through it. She was nervous but very excited once it was done. Couldn’t have asked for much better weather being able to be in muck boots and shorts at the end of December

If it was waxy it was probably ryegrass

My partner’s gyrfalcon.

My partner’s gyrfalcon.

Trapped, or captive bred? Any connection to NE MT?

Reminds me of two gentlemen falconers that stopped by our office once years ago. The younger gentleman had drawn the single MT NR falconers permit for a gyrefalcon. They had finally captured one, but it was an adult and had to be released. They came by the office to see if we collect any data on them before they released it (we don’t). The very elderly gentleman helping him turned out to be Hal Webster (later told by a falconer friend that he was the author of THE falconry bible and famous in falconry circles.) We spent quite a while listening to them talk about birds and falconry. Then they turned the bird loose in the parking lot and she hung out around the refuge for a week or so. Only time ever seeing one in hand. Very cool birds.

Captive bred. Sadly, he died last week of cancer. Very rare. He was a beautiful bird.

Falconers all know each other so connection to NE Mt is entirely possible. When falconers get together there is only one subject. For days! Fortunately I enjoy the company and discussions though I’m not a falconer.
