Two days ago I was on I-57 heading south at Champaign. I love that landscape. I especially enjoyed seeing it from your drone. This video and information were fascinating. Thanks for posting!

I'm always shocked when I see one in the city and not in, say, a city park. Always thrilled too because they are 🔥

I would love to see this in the US. In my city the utility poles are made of wood. It would be hard to paint on them because they're rough and probably treated with chemicals. I could see painting on metal that could then be bent around and affixed to the pole.

I've enjoyed the first two episodes so I'll continue on!

I've enjoyed reading the first four books in this series: the mysteries, the birds (and birders) and the Nova Scotia setting.

I'm envious! I'm a sky watcher yet I've never felt 100% sure what I was seeing was K-H.

I recently read the most recent book so now I've read them all! I love the character--Vera, the storytelling and the writing.

It was an interesting episode and you asked lots of good questions. Still, I have no desire to take even a short trip!

I still love them too. Their song and all their vocalizations make me feel happy.

Me too!! I just finished the second book. I couldn't put it down. The characters, the humor, the story and the entire concept, really, make for very entertaining reading.

There's something about them that melts my heart 💕 I love to watch them catch insects.

Their sound is distinctive too, which makes them easy to find ❤️

This is very interesting but I have no explanation. I didn't even know there was a light morph red-shoulered hawk! I hope someone here can explain.

Image #3 is stunning. I had to look up Two Rivers. I'm in the US and hadn't heard of it. I enjoy your posts.

Here is a studio shot. I'm a painter but I'm on Bluesky for the birds, landscape photography mostly. I post artwork on Instagram. BTW, these are just some of my brushes!!
