From this table I have watched bear, wild turkeys, chukar, quail, bobcat, coyotes and uncountable deer of both kinds. Eagles and falcons fly close by it almost daily. A canyon wren is nesting under our eves. There is a long list of other birds we see here: mountain and western bluebirds, northern shrikes, Lewis' and pileated woodpeckers, Clark's nutcrackers and all of the more common birds. Almost every night we hear great horned, pigmy, and screech owls. Last fall Jane found a barred owl dead on the road. They are common in the East but very rare here. A professor at Boise State was overjoyed to receive the specimen, only the second in Idaho, he said.

The carpet is really a muted green, not black. Too much contrast when I shot the interiors.
