Had another fence percher looking at our feeding area for the birds. This Cooper's Hawk didn't stay but for a few minutes.
I had to get pics through my kitchen window first and only. I wish I had a pic of how LARGE the wing span is. When it took flight, the wings were almost 3 1/2 ft. wide.
There was a neighbor riding his bike up the road at the same time it took flight and the Hawk flew right behind him and his head but then it soared upward. My neighbor didn't even know it was just behind his head. LOL. I really thought the Hawk was going to attack him!





Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

Looks like this Cooper's hawk to me. I'm no expert.

Nice '67 Mustang in front of me about a week ago. The guy driving was older than me probably in his early 70's. I see he's missing the driver side rear mud flap.
Still see a lot of these being driven.
Enjoy your weekend and stay cool.😊
My favorite body style of the Mustang FWIW (and not that anyone asked).

My wife tried her hand at web-comics a while ago. Didn't get a lot of love, but I thought they were great.

I could totally see that as a successful business model in Vermont -- and I am 1) not being facetious and 2) not suggesting it would be a bad thing.

I was thinking like this one. You could be right though. Can't see it's tail.

Had one try to get in my house once kept pecking and scratching at my skylight. It was injured and I eventually tried to fetch him off the roof but he decided that wasn't going to happen and flew off.

stumbled across this image searching for "clustered arena PA horn" images

Now I have something to aspire to.
Sadly, it was decommissioned in 2016 after a 40 year reign, but snapped up by an Altec enthusiast.

It would work great with SE 2A3. It would benefit from using a few of them, otherwise some creative wiring would be necessary to present a reasonable load impedance.
I'd guesstimate the sensitivity, depending on wiring would be upwards of 140 dB per watt at 1 meter.
So, yeah, maybe not ideal for nearfield. -

@msg. Mrs. H shall now have our guts for garters.
I'd love to see/hear that setup, up close, in real life. Those are some *interesting* horns. -

Well, yeah with that attitude -
Altec muticells are remarkable. Also unaffordable (at least for me) Smooth with great dispersion. And the 288 driver is superb.
210s are quite nice. Sort of like an A5 or A7 but with real bass.
