p.1 #1 · spear "ratting"?

went to El Dorado late this afternoon. saw a few redtail hawk, a kestrel, and a few other odds n ends. and then I came across this GBH that was paying very close attention to the ground..

I'll post up some more "sequence" shots (much) later tonight. gotta get ready to go out now..

I guess I'm lucky - - I've only caught them trying & catching fish.

Lucky me.

Fun catch (though not for the mole)

Lil - taking a break from cleaning up after the wildfires - - so no picks.... Sorry

Gotta get me one of those varmit hunting birds

That would be nice around the pool in the summer but tough on my pond

Looks like by all the pushed up dirt that there are plenty more meals to be found, cool shots!

Sorry Jeff for jumping in, got so excited to see something new!

thanks. i really need to figure out a way to invite that GBH to my house. I have a gopher in my yard that's tearing up the soil, ate 2 agaves, almost killed a young tree i planted, and dug up 2 pepper bushes..
