Yesterday while saying good bye to my Daughter out on the front lawn a Hawk came swooping low over us from over the roof and landed across the street in the neighbours driveway. It did have something in it's talons and this morning I discovered just exactly what it was. The only thing left of the Pigeon in my backyard was it's feather's and wings. A few doors down the street is a Pigeon coop which does allow for both Cooper's and Sharpies to often be seen hunting them and I've seen them in action numerous times, both are incredibly agile predators on the wing and while I can't be 100% certain I do believe given its size that this one yesterday was a Cooper's Hawk. This is as close as I let my daughter get (cell phone picture) so as not to spook the bird off her meal. This is what she left behind in my backyard ......

Sad indeed. My condolences to his family and his many friends. A quick search in my photo archives found me this picture of Norm at one of the "Fishing for Tyler" events. R.I.P Mr Beans

I hope everyone is celebrating remembrance day for what it is and means. I never had the opportunity to meet or get to know my grand fathers as they lost their lives in the first world war long before I was born. On a lighter note just a few trail cam pics. Finally got some cougar pictures. Some pics of whitetail deer with the forest ground covered in yellow poplar leaves, not near as pretty as the maple leaves you folks have in the eastern provinces but still kinda nice.

Starting to get requests for other ties . Some are from BC. I am always willing to try and please customer requests. It,s a new challenge for me,but once I got rolling, it,s alot of fun. Was on the river this morning and trying to fly fish the last tie, but the wind was brutal . There was a guy very curious on what I was using. He was so impressed with it, he ordered 6 of them along with 6 of the pink. I was wowed. Did not even know this guy. 20241101_083929.mp4
