The reason that this little oinker is so on board with the Christmas thing (to the point of helping out with the decorating!) is, of course, that she knows she’s unlikely to be on the menu. Her least favourite holiday is probably Easter, which we won’t mention right now, OK. Let her enjoy her Christmas.

Redtail Country
I shot photos of this (I think) immature Redtailed Hawk on my trip down the Cowboy Trail last week.
Probably the most common hawk in North America and one of our biggest birds, he is truly a beauty. This pale phase is typical of a youngster; he has at least 2 other colour phases including the famous dark-to-sandy phase with the namesake barred and fan shaped red tail. Identifying them can be tricky.
It’s always a thrill to see them, but I thought he looked particularly spectacular in this landscape.

Olive and the Moon
All this symbolism lately and here I am painting full moons with eagles and rising suns with trees. DUH! What about an owl and a SUPER moon?! No brainer, right?! To affirm all of that, I just arrived home after a drive home from the hills under…..you guessed it…2012’s fabulous “Super Moon”.

Remember
Rainy Day Lark
Here’s another hen scratch from a trip to see the horses last week. It was blustery, cool and trying to rain. This guy was huddled on a fence post surveying his territory, but darned if he could warble out a tune. The best he could do was the cute little “twerrrrp” they sometimes do. I, again, did the little sketch in the field, then came home and applied the paint.

The Varmint
It’s time you had the full benefit of the stare that I get on a regular basis around here. Possum sends her best wishes & so do I.
