And a predator

 

 

Harris’s Hawk.

 

Another Southern bird.

 

Unique in that they hunt in packs like wolves.  Some will land and flush prey for others to pounce on, then they share the meal.

Crested Caracara

 

 

 

 

 

Like the black vulture, a southeastern scavenger, but even more southern.  Southern Arizona, South Texas, and a few in Florida.

You’re probably asking yourself,

 

 

…again, why isn’t Steve sending out more bird pictures?

 

Okay.  If you insist.

 

Black vulture.

 

 

It’s a lot like the Turkey Vulture, but while the turkey vulture is everywhere, the black vulture is more southeastern.

Went to check on the little church

 

 

Years ago, it looked like this.

 

 

Abandoned.

 

A couple years later, even more worse for the wear.

 

 

There were local efforts to save the church and rehab it, but help didn’t arrive in time.  The remnants of a hurricane blew it down.

 

 

That was the last insult.  Money was donated.  Volunteers rebuilt the little historic Guadalupe Toreros Church.

 

 

That was a couple years ago.  We took a driveabout today to see how it’s doing.

 

 

Fully functional and cared for.

This is how we play

 

 

…at the puppy park when there are other dogs there.

 

Pressed up against mom.

Livestreaming an execution?

 

 

The FBI has a Violent Crime Section.

 

“If an actual murder, kidnapping, or physical assault is recorded and distributed, the FBI investigates the case as a violent crime, homicide, or civil rights violation.”

 

Just saying…
