    … the first couple of hours on the lake this morning were beautiful and nearly bird free … seems our friends in nature do not like cold mornings anymore than we do and wait for a little warming before venturing out into life and begin another day. About 11:30A things began to happen … Jim spotted an eagle flying overhead and heading SSE, so I followed it and eventually it hooked up with another eagle and then another pair. One pair headed south out of sight and the other ducked over a ridge on the island and appeared headed in for a landing. I piloted us upwind and around the north end of the island and there they were on a small rocky point jutting out into the water. I positioned us on a course to be pushed by the wind directly into them and then began shooting … soon they left, first the larger female and then the smaller male. The wind was pretty fresh so they had no other choice, but to takeoff directly at us. We did a repeat on the next island they flew to and then left them to hunt and feed on the third one just a couple of hundred yards away.

    Lots of other species made their appearances after that and what had seemed like a bust became a huge success! Life can be like that.

    The bird below is an African Pied Crow … pied meaning multiple colors which in this case is black and white. This is another of Devin’s birds and is just a baby at about six months of age … he is just beginning his training and is pictured coming in for a landing on a tree stump with the red rocks of Sedona in the background.

    Into the weekend for me and wishing you all the joy that life offers … look for it and live in it!

    Cheers,

    Ted

    Learn the music of a summer night by the restless
    wave of the sea, or surrender to the sunlight of an
    open country where the illimitable sky at last meets
    to kiss the sweet green earth, and stay till the crimson
    shafts burn the western world;

    And something will rise in you that is not connected
    with the tiring routine of your trade—something
    strange and calm.

    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.
