Last week’s highlights included a lifetime low round of 76 (at Renegade), seeing one of the top singers in the world - Dimitri Hvorostovsky (below) - perform at The Orpheum in Phoenix, and closing the sale of ModernMed to Paladina Health (link).
Photos of the backcountry over the past few days, all taken with my iPhone:
Brent on Conan!
How big of a hoot is this? The best bass player I know performing as part of Allen Stone’s band on a national stage!
Okay, maybe that’s stretching it. But when you see hundreds of raptors fly over your yard over the course of the day (with some peak times of a rate of over 100 per hour!), it’s pretty darn exciting. I am slowly getting back into bird photography and took some photos toward the end of the day. Here’s one photo of a Merlin; these guys are often like bullets zipping through the sky at easily over 60 mph just above the tree line. You see them, and before you know it, they’re gone!
Big thanks to Crystal and Scott with the Wisconsin Humane Society for their help yesterday. Here’s a photo in the yard of the ‘release’ of a just-banded, rehabilitated Cedar Waxwing, which was joined by three other waxwings that were also just returned to the wild:
We’ve endured an unusual cut off low pressure system that hung around for over a week, with winds from the east almost the entire time. And incredible amounts of rain. But now, a strong front from the north has arrived, and with it, heavy winds………and RAPTORS zooming down the coast. Finally!
Been traveling on both coasts the last few weeks. Some highlights, with photos taken from my iPhone:
