No offense intended, you are correct—Ive only seen a swallow tail once. Looking them up I remember now they are pure white (and black). Mississippi kites here are a little darker gray.

That’s amazing, I had no idea—thank you

Thanks for the heads up on the song ID on Merlin app. I have the app but didn’t know about that function. Sitting on the patio listening to this little flycatcher right now, I will try it.

Acadian Flycatcher @Old Machinist: Are you sure that’s not a Scissortail Kite? Edit: Swallow Tail Kite? We have lots of Mississippi Kites in Arkansas but I thought scissors were a lot whiter and bigger like your picture—saw one once on 98 between Hattiesburg and Mobile driving to the beach...

That’s impressive—I have always wanted to keep a bluebird trail but don’t have time to properly monitor and maintain them. We have several pairs of Eastern Bluebirds that stay around our driveway/utility ROW and I leave all dead trees to fall naturally so that the cavity nesting birds have...

Yes sir, my son gave me that for Father’s Day last year—he knows how much I love my old Weber kettle grill! I use the term bird nerd because anyone hears I like birds that’s usually the label I get. I don’t really care, I consider it in tune with my environment. The Acadian Flycatcher now...

I’ve been an outdoorsman all my life but as I get older I guess I have become more observant, and I have always loved birds. I always wanted to know what bird that is making that sound Ive not heard before. We live on 7 wooded acres and have all kinds of birds nesting around the house but had...

Actually washed tractor today—first time had a bath in 2 years. Wife broke out the pressure washer and washed the Jeep, so wth it’s an amazing day, washed 2 years of deer blood off the 4 wheeler and sap/grease off the Kubota. At least now I will know if any seals leaking…

I am probably the only different opinion on this: When I bought the L2800 5 years ago (roughly same size as yours) I specifically bought a 16’ trailer. I have limited space to back and maneuver a trailer—steep driveway with sharp turns. Side slide out storage for ramps, 84” wide, 3500# axles...

Thanks for the update—still haven’t gotten mine to work.

Should have taken a before but this is after grading and packing with truck From bottom From top It’s steep—heavier tractor would help a lot but feathering blade carefully can get it done with a 2500 lb 28 hp tractor.

Been busy past two weekends getting son and niece married, finally got some diesel therapy. Carried tractor out to the cabin yesterday and easiest bush hog hookup ever—gonna be a good day. Greased all the points on bush hog and mowed the lower pasture, trail up to the cabin, acre around the...

A very wise teacher told me in training: Have patients on As few medications At lowest possible dose With the least side effects At the lowest cost to the patient. Has never failed me. He also said “I would rather stop a medication than start one.” Medicine and vehicle manufacturing have...
