This one must have had a nest near by. Low to the ground and not getting spooked when approached. They are cool birds, I have seen them snatch up Squirrels in the blink of an eye and crash into trees trying to grab them!?

Warped "Cloud Hopper" in this Bulldog made by Manduela.To me,this is a cigar forward blend upon first light.Then later on you can taste the Perique if you smoke slowly.
Trying an experiment. Used the 3 pinch method to load a kaywoodie... first pinch was 1q, second was 5 Brothers, third was 1q. First time trying 5 brothers. Definitely beefs up the 1q. Cuts down some sweetness, and Definitely throws off some extra smoke. This experiment feels like a success. I'm not sure if I would do this every time I smoke 1q, but I'll definitely do it again.
Post all your birds of prey pics
There's a bald eagle nest down the street from me. Haven't seen em in a while, taking a long summer vacation I guess.
You ever go to the LA Renaissance Faire? They have a pretty cool little raptor show, and they bring a number of non-performing birds that just sit there and look pretty for photo ops.
Btw, Billy Budd in a MM Charles Towne Cobbler.
2014 St James Flake in A Castello “Castello” 55.
Mac Baren: HH Old Dark Fired in a Falcon with a Meer bowl...
HH Pure VA in my 1960 Root Briar.
Relaxing after a wonderful salad, chicken legs and sugar snap peas dinner with a scoop of Dutch chocolate ice cream for dessert. I'm a quarter of the way through this bowl of Peter Stokkebye No. 400 Luxury Navy Flake in a smooth full bend dark brown 1977 Crown Coachman (Comoy’s second) 215 egg with a black vulcanite saddle stem. This was the first pipe I spent more than ten bucks to get. That was a lot of money for a sixteen year old at the time. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Lane RLP-6, I knew it as Monks when I first started pipes, in a Peterson Black Rock

Enjoying some D+R Ryback Gold for the first time. Much more mellow than the regular. Smoking my Kaywoodie Redroot on the front porch in what seems to be a a wind storm.
