Got a tip on a great place to see short-eared owls, unusual because they are actually active hunters during the day. There were eight or ten flying around this large open field.

Dude! Again with the awesome wildlife pics!

The tail is very hawk like, think Japanese fan, like a Cooper’s hawk.

Got 2 full days of cutting down and burning.
Everything is cut all the way to the creek. 75% burnt up cept the bamboo which is piled up everywhere and will be put through the new wood chipper which gets here tomorrow.
There is still a shitload of bamboo stumps to cut down. Now we can see more of the creek from the deck and we see more deer

Dunno if it would work, but to me, it'd be worth a shot - get the 51% glyphosate refill, and a sponge brush, and "paint" every stump, if possible. Add some coloring, either food coloring, if it mixes in, or some blue marker dye used for herbicide/pesticide applications.

Not certain if Triclopyr is also rated for bamboo, but if so, I'd add that to the mix - it is a compatible tank blend with glyphosate. I use that combo on willow stumps and poison ivy/oak

For the first time, we’ve got a Cooper’s hawk in the neighborhood in spite of our healthy red-tailed hawk population. He’s in my yard once or twice a week watching the birdfeeder. I haven’t gotten a good shot of him yet, but I will! And you’re right, very similar tail markings.

I have a Canon R6, and up until this week I’ve been using an RF 800mm F11 lens which i loved. But i just upgraded to the brand new RF 200-800mm lens that Canon released last month. I’ve had it for about a week and it’s fantastic. I shoot in Raw format and I edit with Lightroom which lets me get colors as accurate as possible, and clean up a little noise if the lighting sucks. Or i can crank up the colors a little if we’re going to print something and put it on the shelf, like this one from Yellowstone in late September. It was a beautiful spot, but not QUITE that colorful!

Hunkering down today and prepping the generator for a power outage. Heavy wet snow and high winds are forecast for this afternoon.

I have cleared another area of bamboo years ago and once they are cut, they deteriorate quick so not really worried after i cut close to the ground

I see you have a high wind warning…. Not terribly cold but a nasty few days in store.

Looks like a good walleye chop on the western basin of Lake Erie.

Burning bamboo is fun. Need a really hot fire and stand back as it explodes.

 

[Cleveland Steamer]

just got back from Myrtle Beach for a quick get away. Last time we were there was 2015.

Not burning the fresh bamboo, only the old dried out splintered stuff and even some of that pops pretty good. I am chipping up the bamboo into mulch.

Very cool! I have an R5 and the RF100-500.

Lots of Ospreys and a few Eagles hang around my pier...
