I'm getting my hopes up for the critter being a miniature northern spotted owl or an ivory billed woodpecker so the Feds will seize my properly. I'm tired of mowing the yard. Although, having a resident Chupacabra would be fun.

Any chance of getting an animal pic that is as clear as the picture of the cartridge? :mrgreen:

It's for sure not a whooping crane, so you're OK there.

Nice looking avian friend you have there. Our visitor is bunking somewhere else tonight. Guess it wanted to get away from the paparazzi. :lol:

I am not a lawyer, nor have I played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, nor should anything I say be taken as legal advice. If it is important that any information be accurate, do not use me as the only source.
