On 8 June 1944, the entire crew, except for Navigator 2nd Lt. William L. Reese who had been "borrowed" to fly on the 853rd Squadron lead plane, were all killed returning to their airbase at Metfield, England. They had aborted their mission with a feathered No. 1 engine and after returning to the airbase, circled the field three times with a full load of fuel and bombs, lost control as they attempted to land and crashed on the field. SSgt. Lester J. Datthyn (Tail Gunner) was not in the crew photo, but was also killed in the crash. William L. Reese was killed 26 Nov 1944 on the raid over Misberg. The image & the info were acquired from the "American Air Museum in Britain" webpage www.americanairmuseum.com/archive/media/media-13551jpeg

the British media whips up hysteria over an inch of snow, causing people to panic and start believing they will get caught in it! Still, I love the snow, and they forgot about the economy for a day...

They could cut you.

This hawk caused quite an uproar when it arrived in one of the trees in our backyard. I was very surprised as I had never seen one in here before. All the resident sparrows ,finches, chickadees, bushtits and hummers were not so happy and trying to avoid being a meal for this raptor. The crows in the area also weren't happy and ganged up to harass it. It has shown up two days in a row now .

The local crows bellowed loud and clear, which usually means a raptor spotted. At first I thought it was the Cooper's hawk again. But this hawk had red eyes, and the Cooper was a juvie, which has yellow eyes. This one was slightly smaller also.
