Speaking of wildlife. We have lived in our home for 6 years. Not once have we seen a wild turkey. My son comes running into the office all excited and says there is a turkey in the backyard.
Sure as heck, there was one. Sorry about the grainy pic, it was way off in the distance. Cool, regardless.

Cats LOVE catching moles. Our neighbor's cat would catch them and flip them into the air while playing with them. The cat would leave the dead moles for their owners on the back steps of their house as gifts.
A Hawk pins a Squirrel.
Driving down a street just around the corner from our home years ago, A BIG Redtail Hawk swooped down 60' or less in front of us and nailed a squirrel at the base of a barricade fence. One wing on the ground, the other going up the fence. The Hawk stayed in that position for a minute or more and then I had to move along. I don't remember seeing it fly away with the squirrel.
I think that's how it went down. .
I stopped my car and was watching this scene as my wife saw it too but she started screaming to move the car!
I saw in my mirror no car was approaching so I stayed put and watched. My wife was FREEKING out somebody would rear-end us. Speed limit is 25mph and there was plenty of road for somebody to see I had stopped. I flash my brake lights to get people's attention once in a while to alert them to something strange.` I was ready to do the same but I didn't have too. I saw enough.
Then a car did come around the corner behind me and me moving along sure made my wife calm down! Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
I have a gazillion chipmunks myself. Holes and tunnels everywhere. Maybe I should get some outside cats, they'll kill the little bastages won't they ?
as do we.
I hates them little racing-stipe-decorated [email protected]$tards.
I am trying an experiment this year. I chucked a coupla mothballs down every chipmunk (and woodchuck) hole I've found this spring. Mice don't like 'em (mothballs/napthalene, that is). Mice are rodents and so are chipmunks and whistlepigs, so I am hopin' the transitive property applies!

Cool, let me know if you have success. Mothballs huh....hope they won't make my yard smell like my grandparents.HT SYSTEM-

I have explored that avenue with the farking groundhogs -- but I am not a great shot and/or they're surprisingly maneuverable.
I did bludgeon one into the next world with a shovel last summer, though -- not especially proud of that, but so be it.

They dig tunnels under my brick pavers. Tunnel eventually collapses and pavers sink. Fill it in, reset pavers, they dig another tunnel.HT SYSTEM-

Hmmm, I had them all around the house when I lived in Northern Virginia. We loved 'em but didn't have any pavers, admitted. I guess YMMV. I always thought they were cute little things.

They turn yards into models of Swiss cheese.
They love loose stonework (e.g., dry stone walls -- which are legion in New England).
I hates 'em to pieces. Little blighters.

Cats love chipmunks tonyb.
Tony M, I have several feral cats that I feed in an area of my garage. This morning one of the cats left a dead mole for me at the edge of the old piece of carpet where the food dishes are.
tonyb, I see the feral cats in the early morning just waiting for the chipmunks to appear. The cats like to roll over the entrances to the tunnels.
Mark, I grew up on 50 acres of land west of Atlanta. As a kid, I did hunt some. Once I killed my first rabbit, I gave up hunting I felt so bad.
Tom, you sound like me, now. I have learned to live with the wildlife and try to enjoy all. I can't remember if I told you at Joe Coulson's meet, my BlueBirdMusic is derived from my love of bluebirds that I developed as a kid from my father.Harry / Marietta GA

We had -- and this is a long story, for some other day -- a cat that was went blind. When it was all said and done, he had no eyes.
Even in his eyeless state, he caught (at least) two mice in our house, and one chipmunk in our garage.
This is a seminal lesson in natural selection.
The Spare Cat, aka "Sparesie"
Awake or asleep, he looked the same
He also had profound congenital heart defects, as it turned out. Despite a really tough life, he was an extremely sweet kitteh.

Looks like a Revox A77 MK I way back there, probably used for recording off of the mixing board. Or taped special effects?
-
Thanks!
Yeah, better (bigger) than any I could find of the actual back cover image -- plus it has the band in it The actual back cover photo has -- and rightly so -- the band's roadies in the picture
The photo was styled after the popular photos of military aircraft with their arrays of weaponry/ammunition -- or so I read on the internet.
This kind of thing.
Best thing about the b&w photo -- my attention was drawn to that ReVox A77 tape deck, dead centre!

@KennethSwauger -- you beat me to it!

PS -- looks like maybe some sort of hifi (as opposed to MI) amp underneath the ReVox(???).

I was thinking a Shure microphone mixer, maybe?
