My Grandmother, Mary Limbock, married Raymond Gaines (both in heaven now) and had Uncle Bill, mother's half-brother. I know we are not "blood" so to speak, but I wouldn't trade my Papa Raymond Gaines for nothing! And, I have cousins that are half-blood cousins, and they are Gaines. Hope this isn't confusing. Steve Gaines and Kim Gaines (my 2 cousins) live in San Antonio, Texas. There are more Gaines' around - but would have to find out from Uncle Bill where they are. I know some are still in Red River County.

Thats very common here in Puerto Rico... The king bird is called Pitirre and the red Tail Hawk - Guaraguao. There's a say: Cada Guaraguao tiene su pitirre. Every Red Tail Hawk has his king bird.

Kingbird hammered back of Raven's head the distance.

As I feared your glass definitely caused a touch of envy, even shooting against the light. Can't wait to try to catch that scene again in the early morning hours. Good to meet you.

It was my first week back at work so I was swamped, of course. :) Great to meet you, too. I actually found that shot of the Kingbird attacking the Hawk ~ I had seen it when you shot it 'cuz my dad sent it to me ~ super cool. ~Jen
