this is what i get for not having my camera along.

i drove down an alley today and there was a crabapple tree so close to the alley,that the branches almost hit my vehicle. i swear there was at least 75 cedar waxwings in that tree and on the ground. i just sat there with the motor running and they would not budge. i shut off the engine and could stick my arm out the window and be within 1 foot of touching them. got out,walked around the tree, they just ignored me and kept eating. i sat there for 20 mins. just watching them and admiring their beauty. to top it off there were huge pines in the background split by the clear blue sky,and the birds were coated in 3 o'clock frontlight that made them glow.

i spoke to the homowner before leaving,and he gave me the green light to come back this weekend. i hope they are still there,but i have a sinking feeling that i will never again have a chance like i did today.

i missed the photo op,but i guess in a way i'm lucky to have that memory which i will never forget.

still can't help feeling...........STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!

Don't beat yourself up over it. You can't have the camera with you 24X7! However on the other side of the coin I would imagine that is why Buzz has the "Chance favors the prepared mind" in his signature block!smile.gif

Have a good one and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

Ya, don't fret it. It happened to me two days ago. I gave up the 100-400L to the boss and upon walking out the office loading dock during perfect light, there was a huge hawk in the the tree closest to the parking lot. Figures. I guess I chaulk that one up to chance. I did have the 30d body with me though. tongue.gif

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
