A blue and black Steller's jay standing on a weathered wooden trellis, head turned to the side, looking into camera. It's belly is fluffy and a few feathers are sticking out because of wind.

Staredown In The Wild... Olivier The Northern Hawk Owl, giving me his finest look of intimidation. A true predator. Very elusive, he spends most of his time, in the Boreal Forests of the Northern Wilderness. So handsome.

Very nice! I’m jealous and motivated to start collecting. Do you also purchase through eBay?

Just watched Bishop’s Wife last week and her performance really was a highlight of that film. Loretta Young is also one of my favorites!

Belted kingfisher did you know They do not nest in trees. Instead, they dig long burrows, which can be 3 to 12 feet deep, into the soft, sandy banks of rivers and streams. The tunnels are often angled upward to prevent flooding.

I’ve lost count on how many times I’ve seen Gold Diggers of 1933. I love the opening number!

I set up a birdfeeder in my new home last month, but haven’t had too many customers. A hawk and a barred owl live close by and sit in a nearby tree.#birds

CAPTURED! (1933) a rarely shown movie, will be on @tcm on December 17th for a Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. line-up! Stars DFJ and Leslie Howard as POWs during WWI. This film is also significant because it played a role in getting Warner Bros. banned in Nazi Germany #TCMParty

Since it’s on at 6 am I’ll be sure to record it. Leslie Howard is another favorite. It seems like they really put a lot of thought into this. Many of the films don’t seem to be part of the regular rotation.

My parakeet loved having a corner perch. This is a bad picture but I hung some millet next to it and he seemed to like standing on it to rest

Ocellated Antbirds are one of the shyest Costa Rican antbirds and they very seldom get close. But there were a few family groups this morning with a bunch of hungry young birds and the adults were busy showing them how to hunt for insects flushed by the army ants.

Thanks I completely forgot about that. I think Jimmy Stewart was another one that didn’t make a lot of movies in the first half of the 1940s due to military service. I’ve seen Sinbad but will check out the other two.

Good choice! Which of his movies from the 1940s do you recommend?
