I Will Miss Longmire
Thought I saw something online recently about Netflix deleting Longmire.
Longmire was one of my fave TV shows. I’m sure that over the last few years I watched all of the episodes at least once, and many several times.
A gritty mix of Westerns and modern policing, the show tackled issues including Indigenous poverty/casino prosperity, prostitution, abuse of foreign workers, trophy hunting, alcoholism, PTSD . . .
It had bleeding heart liberals fighting for, and being rejected by, indigenous folks.
It had right-wing pro-gun folks.
It had good whites and bad whites.
It had good FNs/tribes, and bad ones.
It had weird cults and survivors.
Great writing, great acting. Revenge, despair, pain. . .
Life, eh?
Herons, Hawks & More at Iona Beach

Later in the afternoon they became more active
Just as we were about to leave, a hawk gave us a lovely flyby. . .
Northern Flicker
Spotted Towhee
We spotted a family of river otters in one of the ponds
Bald Eagle Tag Team Takes Down Duck
Iona Beach Regional Park lunch menu. We saw a pair of Bald Eagles team up to take down a duck along the shoreline, and then take it out to a log in the water to eat.
