Do tell.

This is a place near me called Rattlesnake Lake. When the lake is low, many old tree stumps become fully visible.

Oh, Sorry, forgot to tell-

The notches in the stumps were cut by the axmen for springboards. They notched the tree, stuck a board about 8-10" wide and 6' long into the notch, hopped up onto the board and chopped away at the tree. They would move around the tree, hence the 3 notches visible on the one side, and often times there were 2 men working on one tree. They also used the springboards when using a two-handled buck saw.

Scoville's albino robin was COOL, I got to see it also.

Damn Scovie! Those are some great photos. Talk about a great experience. Nothing like the king of the birds eating a beast in your yard....

 

[Scovie]

Thanks MGOLD. I've been watching them all day. At one Point I saw 5 Bald (1 was immature), 2 Golden, and a couple Vultures swooping around, and the Magpies and Ravens are always nearby. When there's to much activity the neighbor's dog runs out there and wants to play lol.

I'm going to upload my favorite picture I've ever taken, not involving my kids, of course...

I got all up in it's mouth!!

That's a great shot. You can see the whiskers on his face! Giraffe's always look like they're smokin something.

Yeah, FD, that Eagle was pulling, tugging and shredding that Deer, pulling off big 'ol chuncks of meat.

Ouch! While the situation with the bike sucks, I'm glad to hear he's not seriously injured.

 

[Scovie]

Glad that he's ok, Eric..Isn't it strange how you broke your ankle and he does a tankslapper at 100mph and comes away, thankfully, in pretty good shape? You just never know...
