Northern saw-whet owl in the river valley today. Twigs made me crop it very tight.  |

Why the name "Saw-Whet" ? Cross-cut saw or circular saw or band-saw ?
I have been around all manner of saws all my life and have never saw anyone whet one; grind or file yes, but never whet, which is done with a stone. |

Why the name "Saw-Whet" ? You are correct. But there seems to be no clear consensus. All About Birds writes: The Northern Saw-whet Owl may have been named for giving a call that sounds like a saw being sharpened on a whetting stone, but there is no consensus as to which of its several calls gave rise to the name. |

Sorry, yes I did, Charles. The background was already slightly blurred.....just wanted to emphasize the focus on the stump a bit more and try out the LR feature. |

I took these shots while shopping today at Ralph's grocery. It was made of plastic but really stood out in the crowd and I thought it might be useful for creating a background photo/texture sometime. I'm not sure if it was supposed to represent cherry blossoms or what?   |

Down at the Honk and Holler ... Yup that is a bit of much needed snow. There is hope that the mountain snowpack will get a big boost this week. Pray it is so. Then we can brush and flush all summer. Might even get to shower.    |

Not sure we have those red ones.
By "out the window" you mean through the glass, right ? |
