Bird Watching

I'm certainly no "birder." I enjoy watching hawks soar and hunt, but I'm not much into using binoculars and.trying to classify what I see. I just try to enjoy the majesty and power of the more predatory birds.

I was highly impressed with a picture I found on Facebook - it shows the freedom and fire behind a falcon perched in a tree. Pic is below the fold if you are so inclined.

















I call this "Falcon in a Tree."

Rest in Peace, Jeffro. Never met ya in person, but you were still my friend.

Jess said...

Rest in peace, my friend. The world lost a great soul.

Aw, Jeffro! You will be missed. He came through Indy not all that long ago, and Tam and I had dinner with him.

Heard the news via Og.

I enjoyed shooting with him at a DuToit meet n' shoot up in D/FW some years back. Enjoyed a good lunch and conversation, afterwards, too.

He was a damn good man, and will be missed.

Sad news, never had the privilege of meeting him in meat space. May he rest in peace now.

NotClauswitz said...

I am so-so sorry. :-( He had a serious run of bad luck but bore his cross as best able - and and he came from the heartland near where my own relatives scrabbled and scratched out a living. Rest in peace.

God Bless you, my friend, and may you Rest In Peace.

I've never met Jeffro and, while I've been expecting this, I'm still sad. He had a great talent for writing and told some wonderful stories on this blog.

Just a lurker here, but loved your wit, Jeffro. So so sorry. You will be missed.

lisa said...

I am so glad that I got a chance to meet him, even if it was through the blogging world! We will be thinking of you, Jeffro!

Man oh man, I am very saddened to read this. See you on the other side, Jeffro, old friend.
I will sure miss you.
Rest in Peace.

Pam said...

I guess I should have looked at the commments sooner, so sad to see Jeffro passed away, I kind of suspected so. So sad.

Jena G said...

Just found out, I saw it on his wall on fb. We talked there. I will miss you Jeffro. No doubt Rooster is purring up a storm at being with you again.
