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.

That was a fun trip.

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.
