I stopped short when I encountered this. It’s what my brothers and I drew on when growing up and what my father used as he began his drafting career in Pittsburgh in the late 1940s. It had been living in my brothers basement for some time now.

Eastern Screech Owl (Megascops asio asio) Food Cache - 25 miles west of "The City" (NYC)
When I woke up this morning and didn't see a hole in the Owl box, I thought, "Great, a chance to take owl pics in day light!", but then when I took a closer look I realized I was seeing something else entirely!
I can't say for certain what's going on there, but it seems as though the Screecher had a good night hunting last night, killed more birds than it could eat in one sitting, and decided to save the left-overs for another day. The amazing thing (to me anyway) is how it seems to be using it's left-overs as a "draft dodger". It's about 20 F today so a little something in the hole to keep out the cool breeze seems like a very good idea. It also occurred to me that the rising heat from the owl in the box might also keep the body from freezing, making for warmed-over left-overs the next day, with the added benefit of keeping out the noise of scolding birds (grieving for their lost friend), like the Titmouses I've often seen hanging from the roof and screaming into the hole during the day.
I also noticed some jays having a look at a potential meal, but they know who lives there, and thought better of it after figuring out the dead bird was too heavy to fly off with, and eating it on the ground under the Owl box would be a very bad idea!
. . . Just like Nascar drivers get a free ride behind the car in front of them, these Canadian Geese are doing a similar thing! The lead bird has the most wind resistance, while the ones behind call out and encourage him/her. The ones behind switch with the leader so that one bird doesn't do all the heavy lifting. Must be they watch a lot of FOX Sports!
Have a great Friday and weekend Facebook and Flickr friends!

Went down very nicely with a mushroom pizza
Ok this one is just for fun… a couple of months ago I was doodling some Lego with my kid and we ended up building what it was going to become the first draft for the actual microscale PA-51Locusta, I took a couple of quick shots and gave the "weird looking spaceship with the chariot wheels as rotors" back to my kid to play with it.
Last month I actually used the pics as reference to start building the final model, they may look quite different but they are very related to each other :)
After a year-and-a-half at Justin's, we FINALLY went and got our drafting table so I could prep fashion.
The top is a torsion box made from a grid of pine strips sandwiched between 2 sheets of 1/4 inch tempered hardboard. This design produces a light wight top that is perfectly flat. We used hardboard instead of plywood because we thought that it would provide a smoother surface for drawing.
Down to light weight draft pull comes up but this guy really wasn't in for facing the wall waiting for his turn cuz he was always looking behind him plus moving against the wall for a better view. Come to find out they always had to hitch his left side to the T so I assumed he had move freedom to move cuz of his actions.
So I finished sorting for the first-ever internet-based FBTB parts draft. Wednesday night I conduct a live chat session with 10 of our members from around the world where they will select the parts they want from our Prince of Persia Double Draft of ten 7571 Fight for the Dagger and ten 7570 Ostrich Race sets!
