Last Golden I got to know well was a great dog for a family but the retriever part seemed to be broken.
My buddy trained it just like the Hunter Dog ( flat coat retriever) but it just would not take.
Dummy training was fine. Gunfire hell the dog would not even look.
But the birds just drove her nuts. To excited. To headstrong. When she did get a bird would not give it up.

Remember when Irish Setters became pretty much broken dogs in the 80's? Just like that.

Pot worms ^^^ 50x magnification

Stylonchia in coco run off 100x

Epsom salts crystal under polarized light.

light gets split and moves through the crystal at different speeds giving the variety of colours aka Birefringence.

Wonder if he knows this guy?coopers hawk, juvenile

Click to expand...

For a while raptors were a hobby. Got a great set of binos and a field guide to raptors.
Between 2004 and 2007 I documented 74 different raptors covering 15 different types. I also count a Bald Eagle that I saw tracking up the local river as it was less than 300 meters from the house.
Coopers are transients here. We have a large population of red tailed and shoulder hawks and they drive the smaller species out very quickly.
My favorite was a peregrine falcon that would stoop over a corn field across the street and dive bomb dinner.
A very long time ago some friends of mine and myself found an injured red tail in the edge of the river. In my car I had a very eclectic bunch of crap but it included stick welding gloves and a putter.
I picked up this bird and it was not happy at all.
Then I remembered the good thing and put the putter cover over its head.
That worked. Prolly could have set the thing down on the seat.
We took it to the Toledo Zoo and they kept it for years as the wing was shattered and wind up being bobbed at the elbow. It was a cool bird and when we would visit the staff was always great and remembered the 3 kids with the hawk.

Had a Scovy duck as a pet when I was a kid, he always talked shit. At a very low volume. Had an incident where our pet goose attacked a neighbors grandkid. Had to lock up the goose. Scovy was out and they complained. Gave him to a dairy farmer across the field. Flew back in a day. Was a good pet.

A close neighbor had one show up and just became one of the chicken club. He still has it but insists it just showed up.
It was also a mix of wild and white.
He was having raptor problems but the neatest thing was that after a while the chickens would listen to his ducks warnings and take cover.

I grew this blue dream in a 4x8 tent and it pretty much filled it up. 30 gallon pot was used. I used jacks ferts, and gave it 5 gallons of water every other day in flower...
