Another weekend in the mountains, and this time my family had a few surprises in store for me. Alison put together a PowerPoint show of photos and memories of my first 50 years. And then we were visited by Andy Rhodes of the North Carolina Falconry Guild. Andy brought along Sophie, a beautiful female Harris Hawk. Here is your cool raptor fact for the week: Harris Hawks hunt in packs.
Sophie's bells and jesses (see September 13 post).
We had a wonderful weekend with the Dunclan - lots of porch time, convivial beverages, and perfect fall mountain weather.
