Lower door to the coach house. When Northampton State Hospital had a working farm, this building was used to house farm machinery and animals.
It was gray that morning, in mid-June of 2025, but that seems like so long ago with a 15 degree F temperature outside and shoveled snow piled about 3 feet high in places. I long for those Great Lakes days, in late spring and early to mid summer...
This is at Petoskey. It lacks color but is somehow beautiful nonetheless, which I suppose is how some colorblind people have to view the world. There is beauty without color, too!

On 28 January 2025, I decided to try again to see if I could find a Snowy Owl. I had seen two on my previous drive. However, two days ago, I was completely out of luck. I am posting four most uninspiring images from that drive, really just so that I can create an album for my records,
The whole drive was quiet and birdless, except for a flock of Pigeons who landed on a silo. I love Pigeons, with so many colour variations. Also, I came across three groups of Gray Partridge that, as usual, were unseen until they suddenly took off from wherever they had been camouflaged. Seems impossible to ever get a proper photo of this species, which is a shame, as they are very attractive birds.
The back roads were mostly clear of snow, which is one reason I went, seeing that there is more snow in the forecast, starting tonight. Our temperatures are going to plunge, too.
The Gray Heron (Ardea cinerea) is a long-legged wading bird of the heron family, Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia, and also parts of Africa. Generally quite common and conspicuous in wetland habitats from marshes and tidal flats to small ponds, ditches, and wet fields; nests colonially in tall trees. Mainly seen as singles or in small groups, standing quietly in or at the edge of water, less often hunting in fields. Plumage is mostly gray overall, with paler neck; the adult has white crown, black eyebrows, and a black shoulder patch. Like other herons and egrets, flies with neck pulled in to form a bulge.

Ran across this cute little guy in the Cross Timber oaks east of Norman, OK. The first Gray Squirrel I've ever seen in Cleveland County.

The BAU team’s hunt for a serial killer becomes personal when Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) is kidnapped by their wanted man
Another successful nesting Bird at Montrose. This Spring I spent at least an hour looking for the Carolina Wren I kept hearing call but turned out it was this relative of the Mockingbird. 08/10/14
The gray hawk (Buteo plagiatus) or Mexican goshawk[2] is a smallish raptor found in open country and forest edges. It is sometimes placed in the genus Asturina as Asturina plagiata. The species was recently split by the American Ornithologists' Union (AOU) from the gray-lined hawk. The gray hawk is found from Costa Rica north into the southwestern United States...The grey hawk is 46–61 cm (18–24 in) in length and weighs 475 g (16.8 oz) on average. The adult has a pale gray body, the tail is black with three white bands and the legs are orange. It is a solid, unpatterned gray on the upper parts...Immature birds have dark brown upperparts, a pale-banded brown tail, brown-spotted white underparts and a brown streaked buff head and neck. This species is quite short-winged, and has a fast agile flight for a Buteo. The call is a shrill whistled kleee-ooo...Gray hawks feed mainly on lizards and snakes, but will also take small mammals, birds and frogs. It usually sits on an open high perch from which it swoops on its prey, but will also hunt from a low glide. The nest is of sticks and built high in a tree. The usual clutch is one to three, usually two white to pale blue eggs.[3] The young take about 6 weeks to fledging.
My parents invited Alasdair Gray, the famous genius, to be their guest at a performance of the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra in Dunfermline's Alhambra theatre, a local venue that they're trying to boost. I'm still not sure why they did, but he was delighted to accept, apparently.
Knowing that I'm a massive fan of Gray's work, they invited me as well, which meant that I got to hang out with him for the evening.
The best Gray moment of the night came when he was describing an argument he'd had with a woman who wanted him to remove three portraits from a mural he was painting in the town's Abbot House heritage centre. The portraits were of women who'd been involved with the mural project, but the woman who was in charge of the centre (and who was one of the three women whose portraits she wanted removed) felt that their inclusion would spark jealousy among the staff who hadn't been painted.
He explained that they'd argued back and forth for some time, until the woman started to cry, and then he told me, "I got so sick of it all that I pulled out a stanley knife and rushed across and slashed their faces, including hers, shouting, 'Is this what you want?! Is this what you want?!'"
He'd become more excited and agitated as he told the story, and the last part was delivered in a dramatic, high-pitched shriek, much to the alarm of several people in the VIP section, who had heard only the loud bit, from the appearance of the stanley knife onwards.
Later, on our way up to the box, he confided, quietly, "My wife, Morag, tells me that, sometimes, I lose control of my voice and don't realise that I am speaking rather too loudly. I think that, earlier, when I was talking about the mural, that happened again. I noticed heads turning."
