Todas, todos tenemos un punto debil...
Los mios son:
-los alfajores Cachafaz... me regalan uno y me ganaron...
-que me soplen en el cuello
cuál es el de ustedes?
I bought this Darth Talon skin and lekku's in 2014...and I can stil wear them and it looks amazing! Even works with the mesh head!
I was SO excited when I put these on last night!
Ok, so it's the little things that make me happy...😎
So I decided to upload all of my older Overwatch pictures in a row.
Yeah there a some returning figures that were also in my 'Zero Hour' pic...
But I think they deserved more spotlight than they got in the big group shot.
That's it guys

They can grip, rip, hold and tear flesh, the talons of a hawk are very powerful. The Female Red-tailed Hawk that I encountered discretely shows me hers.
Well I thought the Unkar's thug head definitely looked the part of a Talon, so I knew I had to make one. It didn't really turn out exactly how I wanted though... I thought it was good enough to post still.
Northrop T-38 Talon, the first supersonic jet trainer, entered into service with the USAF in 1961. AirVenture 2025 in Oshkosh.

Returned to Susquehanna River again this morning ... this time armed with a new Canon ... The 7D Mark II. Wanted to put this camera to the test with the 10 frames per second and the high end focusing. Getting used to it ... but not too bad on its first day out.
Where previously I would have had most 3 shots from this excursion of the eagle there with the Canon 60D, and maybe 4 to 5 with the Canon 5D ... I have over 10 during this snatch from the water ... and most in focus.

Backstory:
Just for fun. We found a very cooperative immature Eagle yesterday. A big crop I wouldn't intentionally get that close.
My custom Lego minifigure of ️Darth Talon - a female Lethan Twi'lek who become a Sith Lady. From The Star Wars: Legacy comic series.
Her Lekku is wholy made by myself! I don't use Lego one or any molds. I modeled it in plasticine which dries on the air Paulinda. Painted by Citadel and Game Color acrylic paints. Skirt is made from faux leather. Also used a chest from Ninjago, but don't really like it( A little later I'l make some photos without it)

This Snowy Owl was circling with talons extended in a tree top confrontation with another snowy.
Thank you for viewing.

'Ghost Owl'.
A beautiful Male Barn Owl, tyto alba, or 'Ghost Owl' to give it one of its older names. Banking in its hunting flight path, It can be seen here how it got its 'Ghost' name...a white flash is all its prey would see before being dispatched with those deadly talons which can be studied in this hunting image, taken on an early March evening in West Yorkshire.
Hunting:
Barn Owls prefer a mixed farming habitat with spinneys, ditches, rough pastures and well-managed field margins. Grassland makes good hunting ground, along with hay meadows. They are often found around farm buildings, barns and the edge of villages. A breeding pair of barn owls needs around 1.5 ha of rough grass!
Food:
Short-tailed field voles are the preferred prey species, making up to 60% of their diet. Barn owls will also hunt for mice, shrews, small rats and birds..
Nesting:
Barn Owls will breed from April to August, and a second brood may be reared when food sources are high. A breeding pair will use the same nest site year after year if undisturbed. The female lays four to seven white eggs in an unlined hole of a tree or barn. They will nest in good owl boxes that are a sufficient size, in a good habitat location and draught-free.
Song/Call:
“Shreeee” - A shrill, hoarse shriek, often repeated. The begging call of young is more wheezy.
Many thanks for visiting my Flickr pages ...Your visits, interest, comments and kindness to 'fave' my photos is very much appreciated, Steve.
Barn Owl Notes and Information:
What did they call the Barn Owl before barns were first built?
Ghost Owl, Hobgoblin Owl, Demon Owl, Death Owl, Hissing Owl, Church Owl? to mention a few! …Barn Owls were around long before the first farmers built barns to keep their animals or crops dry! They lived in rock crevices and hollow trees, and sometimes still do. But about 5,500 years ago, as soon as people began to build haystacks and animal shelters, Barn Owls moved in.
Its latin name—Tyto alba—simply means 'White Owl. ... Perhaps because of their white, ghost-like, appearance or their preference to hunt in open areas that can include cemeteries, barn owls have been associated with bad omens and even death!
The Barn Owl is a species of open country, favouring lowland habitats such as farmland and young plantation woodland. Populations have recovered somewhat from an earlier period of decline and have benefited from the erection of nest boxes and appropriate habitat management. Barn Owl is listed on Schedule One of the Wildlife & Countryside Act and so receives additional protection during the breeding season; a Schedule One licence is required to visit the nest of this species.
Calls and identification Calls:
The Barn Owl is not a particularly vocal species, the drawn out screech of the male only likely to be heard during the early stages of the breeding season.
Barn Owl chicks make a hissing call, sometimes referred to as ‘snoring’, when in the nest. This is used as a begging call and may be heard early in the evening when the chicks are waiting for one of their parents to make a feeding visit. The extent to which a chick calls provides an indication to its siblings of the individual’s willingness to compete for the next food item to be delivered.
Some individuals can look particularly ‘washed out’, while others are darker and have more strongly patterned plumage. Female Barn Owls are typically darker in their colouration than males and, additionally, have marked speckling on their flanks and underwing, which is rare in males. The dark-breasted race guttata, which occurs on the continent, may sometimes appear in Britain; such individuals are much darker in their appearance than our resident birds. In flight, adult Barn Owls may be confused with Short-eared Owl, a species alongside which they may hunt, though the latter species has more strongly patterned plumage and piercing yellow eyes.
Ecology and Conservation...
Ecology:
Distributed widely across Britain and Ireland, the Barn Owl is limited by winter weather conditions and so is absent from upland areas and the most northerly regions. The species is most familiar as an owl of lowland farmland – both pastoral and arable – with peak densities occurring in East Anglia, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. Within Ireland the core breeding range is now centred on the south-west of the country. Favoured habitats contain areas of rough grassland and woodland edge, within which populations of Field Vole (the favoured prey) are sufficiently abundant. These habitats include the early successional stages of commercial plantation forest. In some areas, such as the arable landscapes of the Fens, secondary prey species like Wood Mouse become more important in the diet. The availability of small mammal prey shapes breeding behaviour; breeding may be delayed or not take place at all in those years when small mammal populations are at a low.
The Barn Owl is a cavity nester, favouring large cavities within mature hedgerow trees or the ledges found in old agricultural buildings. The species has adapted well to nest boxes, and it is likely that a significant proportion of the breeding population – probably well in excess of 25% - now uses them for breeding. Incubation begins with the first egg and, since consecutive eggs are laid at intervals of c.2 days, the resulting brood of chicks can vary in age by as much as two weeks. This strategy increases the chances of at least some chicks surviving if prey availability is low during the chick rearing period; the oldest and largest chicks will receive food first, at the expense of the last to hatch.

Typical Lifespan: 4 years
Maximum Age from Ringing: 15 years 3 months 21 days (set in 2016)
Conservation:
The Barn Owl was certainly a far more common species at the beginning of the 20th century than it is today, but numbers have recovered from a low point evident during the 1970s and 1980s and may now exceed 10,000 breeding pairs. The last national survey, carried out between 1994 and 1997, but the population at c.4,000 breeding pairs. Though previously Amber listed through its loss of UK range, the species was moved to the UK Green list in 2015.
The efforts of volunteers have helped the species, with the erection of nest boxes replacing nesting opportunities that had been lost to the removal of hedgerow trees and the conversion of old farm buildings. Road mortality remains an important cause of death for young birds, particularly during the period of natal dispersal when they move away from where they were raised to establish a breeding territory of their own. Agricultural chemicals, including pesticide seed dressings and rodenticides, may have had an impact on Barn Owl populations, making ongoing monitoring an important priority. Work to provide suitable hunting habitat, and to tackle other potential causes of mortality, has also benefited the species BTO notes.
