"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

What I'd Most Like to be Doing
Trapping Goshawks in Idaho.
Even if an eagle gets into the net.
That's our friend Bruce Haak, biologist, writer, and falconer with the eagle. He traps and bands every fall on an 8000- foot ridge, where winter comes early.
Hi Steve, That eagle looks furious in that photo rather him than me holding it especially after reading some the stories of the pressure they can exert with their talons!!
I personally have been the recieving end of numberous tawny owls and Gos hawks when trying to release them from Larson Traps set for crows.
