    … this could be the last view a bird might have as this Coopers Hawk launched an attack at birds sheltered in one of our desert olive trees in the back yard … he was not able to get his talons far enough into the tree/bush to secure a meal so the tweety birds were safe and my raptor pal had to settle for a delayed meal. Check the intensity of this hawk out … total focus!

    Thanks to a friend who has helped me redo the back yard, we have sculpted the desert olive trees down to the point where the outcome next time may be in doubt for those seeking shelter there … maybe 50/50 odds.

    The shot below is of another amazing predator, a black hawk … shot her down at Bubbling Ponds Fish Hatchery in Page Springs. She was very large with a wingspan easily in excess of five feet.

    This is one totally cool and amazing planet that we share with millions of other species … start checking them out, no matter how small or large they are wondrous.

    Down to the lake in the morning and into the weekend for me. Keep breathing and keep smiling … the former always gives rise to the latter for me … as a friend of mine always shouted when he landed after a cross country flight in his glider … “I’m Alive!” How cool is that!

    Cheers,

    Ted

    To-morrow, O to-morrow!
    Fast fall the fading years. A thought, a dream
    Of gentle words; of faith and love a theme;
    A smile, a step or two, and all is done.
    Quick is the veering stream of life full run;
    Yet in the crimson west still gleam
    To-morrow and to-morrow’s endless dream.

    Sedona chamber of Commerce
    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
