I took this photo of a Bald Eagle in its nest from the side of the road on HWY 29, 11 miles from Lake Buchanan going west almost to Llano. It was a great way to end the day after touring Longhorn Caverns.

This road runner was busily chasing grass hoppers and not very concerned about coyotes. Picture taken at the West Ranch, west of Fort Hood, in spring.

The 37th annual One Arm Dove Hunt will be held in Olney, Texas on September 5th and 6th, 2008. What started as a joke in 1972 became a tradition and has grown as the only event of its kind on Earth. It is quite a legacy that the two Jacks and the citizens of Olney have given the disabled. If you take two one armed politicians, add a Texas tall tale and a few high flying doves, you can say you have quite a story to be told.
This "Olney Story" shines as an example of what a hometown community can do for the disabled. Every person with the loss of use of an arm or hand, or an arm or hand amputee across the nation is invited to Olney, Texas the first weekend after Labor Day. This small community of 3,500 is located 45 miles south of Wichita Falls, Texas on Highway 114. Olney is the friendliest town west of the Mississippi River. Come join us and make us prove it.

For the past 34 years, one armed men, women, and children have traveled to Olney from all over the United States and other countries, not only to hunt dove, but to take part in what has become " TEXAS' MOST UNUSUAL EVENT"....Olney's Famous One Arm Dove Hunt.

I still like Visions backlit pic better.

I don't get many opportunities at Osprey here, but this guy did visit for about a month last year. He'd come from the West (maybe from Falcon) stay for half a day and then go back. Got a few of him working on this bass before he decided he was tired of me and took off.

This is the second weekend of Goose season, just the young birds were down. We still put it to em!!!

Bob Broun of Coppell picked up a fine gobbler during his hunt on the Butterfield Canyon Ranch in west Texas last April.  Weapon of choice? 12 ga.

This one didn't sneak up on him like the one's did last year!

I had to take the above picture with my video camera because my batts ran down my other camera.  Therefore, the quality was not so great.  I have video of him coming into the feeder.  I'll post it in the video section of the si

I have been meaning to post these pics for a while.... next thing you know it's July.

Sorry for the poor pic quality (I forgot my camera, so I had to make due with my camera phone.)
