    … there were more boats on Lake Pleasant today than there were birds and as a result the quiet areas that the birds and I like, were not so quiet, and they had retreated to someplace that were not accessible to we who have no wings to fly … but in one quiet and very shallow (14″ deep) bay I found a pair of Peregrine Falcons … male and female and thus am hopeful that we will get to see more of them in the coming weeks and months … the location shall remain between me and the falcons.

    Above is the shot when he was just leaving the cliff top and 1/20th of a second later the lower image, accelerating off the top and straight at me. This is the female (larger of the two) and the male had just zipped by me and caused me to look up. I got the camera to my eye just a few seconds before she too rocketed by me. Falcons have characteristically long pointed wings and you can see that in these photos … our 240 mph living rocket!

    Back down to the lake in the morning and hopeful that there will be fewer people on the lake … today was the day to try out all those great new Christmas presents and indeed there were many new shiny boats, jet skis and what have you … lots of happy faces too! Me too as I went airborne after crossing over a large wake 🙂 Another 25 hp and I can have my own sea plane.

    Apologies to my friend Steve Comstock … he texted me this morning to let me know that it was he that took the photo of me in the boat yesterday. Check out Steve’s great work at his website … sorry Steve … Eric Gofreed took the shot of me below. Eric is an incredibly talented wildlife photographer and be sure to check out his work.

    Back to the lake in not that many hours so a wrap on the day … have a beautiful day and for sure that is my plan!

    Cheers,

    Ted

    Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you
    conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors
    and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep
    peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery
    and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
    Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
