lineatus transports a newly captured Sharp Shinned Hawk for her demonstration:
She fans out the tail feathers for us:
We get to see the talons up close:
lineatus pulls more of the hawk out to show us the breast feathers:
The hawk is calmed down by lineatus:
She walks the bird around so we can see its wings:

Then we drove to a beach to see what we could see:
While picnic'ing we spotted a turkey buzzard. We convinced Glen the Plumber
to play dead for it. It worked:
remembrance had to drive home.
The light was too harsh on the water to see dolphins but Sally Cat spotted a bobcat:

The next stop was the Presidio Yacht Club:

COMMUNITY BUILDING UPDATES:
Let's build communities!
Every region needs a meat-space community like SFKossacks.
We take care of each other in real life.
I urge YOU to take the lead and organize one in your region.
Please tell us about it if you do and we're here for advice.
