Great day to be an American. Flag day and a good old fashioned Rodeo in Goshen CT.

Fun day at Green Chimneys birds of prey Day in Brewster NY. Eurasian owl, Barn Owl, Harris Hawk. falconers put on a demo

A great day at CT Air & Space Center. The star of the show was the P-51 Mustang "Gunfighter". Built in 1945 it is one of only 150 airworthy Mustangs remaining globally. It has a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, allowing for speeds over 400mph! You can take a 20 minute ride for ...$2,500 or go for a full 40 minutes for $4,500. I elected for the $10 entrance fee and took pictures from the tarmac.

Your common House Finch & House Sparrow getting along together at their favorite drinking spot in Milford CT Taken 5/26. Sometimes you get lucky and they line up so they are both on the same focal plane and both sets of eyes are in focus.
