I doubt this red-tail was emulating Teddy Roosevelt’s ‘big stick’ ideology but if he had been his rivals would have been duly impressed. I certainly was.
I’ve finally seen and culled the 1900+ photos I took of these butter-butts a week ago today. The following day I posted two of them but since then I found more that I like so I’m including some of them today.
Please do not pin my images on Pinterest, Tumblr or any other pinning site or social media or use them for anything else without my express permission (and that includes using them as models for paintings, drawings or tattoos etc.).
