Not from my 40 acres but I do feel like we earned the right to get a bird this year.

It wasn't the oldest or the biggest on the mountain, but it sure is pretty.

The Taxidermy is going to have to go onto the back burner for a while. We are trying to pay this house off and taxidermy doesn’t fit in well with that agenda. Lol.
