One of 6357 at Whitefish Point on May 1st...... it was an epic day that will be remembered for a long time!
The wooden cow pasture fence along Sharp Rd. northwest of Port Jefferson,Ohio in rural Shelby County is what remains of the memories of the farm my father Ralph Linthicum owned in the 1950s and early 60s. A few other similarities remain such as the white farmhouse dating back to the late 1800s (before the addition in the back was built in the mid 1960s),the large tree alongside the front of the house where Kathy,Judy and I swung on a wooden rope swing our dad installed when we were growing up here. The white livestock barn and tractor lean-to was originally painted red. A larger red barn where we milked our cows and a broken windmill we used as a night time watch light tower which were later dismantled years later after he sold the farm and several towering trees that also stood near the roadway. Sharp Rd was originally known as Ft. Loramie-Pt.Jefferson Rd. Dad later built a house and pole barn a few years later on a plot of land he purchased in 1965 to the north on Ft. Loramie-Swanders Rd. near Anna. Listening to Darlene DuFour's lighthearted and downhome "Stories for the Young at Heart" on Radio Maria on Saturday mornings helps bring back the bittersweet memories of my country roots.

Sharp shinned hawk.
*Disclaimer: since people will likely wonder how I obtained this hawk, it died by hitting a window on my aunt's house. It was chasing a robin at the time and both birds hit and died. Fish & Game instructed us to bury the animal, as it is illegal to possess all manner of deceased birds in Alaska. Before I buried the hawk, though, I took these scans of it - I didn't want its beauty to go to waste.
I took this just after he grabbed the House Sparrow from my bird feeder. He was down & gone with the house sparrow in less than 5 seconds!
