    Thanks RR! I intend to head down there as soon as I get a free full weekday. There are scads of Widgeon here and acquaintances have seen a couple Euros recently. I must not be holding my camera right,

    Got any bird pics?

    Thanks, Steve. Folks see a few here every year. They are starting to pair-up & bunch-up. One of these days . . . I wish I lived closer to some of the west side refuges.

    Lots of Widgeon, but no Storm Widgeons or Eurasions; my quest continues. Crappy venue. Ring Billed Gulls?

    NFR Has anyone heard from Old Man Jim? Update: RIP OMJ. Give ‘em hell wherever you are!

    I reread the entire thread. It left me with sorrow, laughter and most of all, gratitude. OMJ was a gift.

    We were ice fishing back home one time when I hooked what felt like a pretty good fish. When it broke off right below the hole, one of my buddies said "I suppose now you're gonna tell us it was huge." "Nope. It was impossible to spot it. When I looked down the hole, all I could see was an eye."

    Got any bird pics?

    That hawk returned to that same perch several times. I also noticed gulls, Pigeons & Crows on similar lights at that complex yesterday. That and the persistent cool temps & higher humidity we have been experiencing makes me wonder if those photocells generate some heat during the day.

    Guns

    I have, although it is a rare occurance that can be caused by: * severe damage to cylinder * loose ejector rod assembly * a high primer Each of these will stop the cylinder from rotating. I have witnessed the last 2 scenarios & was told of the 1st by a gunsmith friend.
