NEAF

I went to NEAF today - the Northeast Astronomy Forum. It is all about telescopes and eyepieces, and equipment and books and gear, all about astronomy. But for the second year in a row, there is a booth called "Talons" which has about half a dozen raptors on display. They are stunning birds and wonderful to see from about 4 feet away. Last year I was able to hold one and have my picture taken, but they were not doing that this year. So I opted for a close-up of my favorite - a European Eagle Owl. Aren't you glad that you are not a field mouse?
