[Special thanks to Londine, who saw when I took this picture and urged me to post it. Londine is a faithful volunteer at the local food pantry. She is the kind of person you can always count on, and her work is deeply appreciated.]

At first blush, one might guess that this is a Red-tailed Hawk. But a more careful observation leads me to the conclusion that it must be an exceptionally large Butterscotch Finch. It is identified by the color in the background. They are very rare. ;-)

Hey, someone took pictures of ME for a change!! I had an ultrasound, and they took a few dozen images of my gizzards. One part of the hospital was backed up, so they found room for me in... Maternity. Yes, maternity. After I was done, the technician escorted me back out to the waiting room, and I caught the eyes of an expectant couple. I patted my belly and said, "It's a boy."

My wife chuckled and muttered, "You're so embarrassing." (big grin)
