    Yeah, I sure hope her taking a picture of it doesn’t kill it off.

    The house was built in ‘65, so y’all are going to have to hit up the nursing homes and cemeteries if you want to tell the masons how great a job they did.

    Yep. I had one that I didn't know what it was until I finally grabbed it. When I realized what it was, I tucked its head until its wing and put it back.

    Truth.


    It’s funny though the things you notice, I didn’t pay the brick work in that picture much attention at all but when watching the Greenville cop thread I noticed the handrail on the stairs wasn’t up to code

    Just googled it. Dang was I way off. Used to have one on my porch every night and it never "puffed" up like that.

    I have had one roosting in my shop. The other morning when he flew out a Coopers/Sharp Shined hawk got him. My wife said the bird screaming almost made her throw up.
