Covey and I got in on the bird box action, too. Have 16 up so far. They should attract tree swallows and mountain bluebirds. #dancingspringsranch #birdhomes #bluebirdtrail #birdnesting #birdboxes #birdhousesofinstagram #bluebirdhomes #bluebird #treeswallow #covey #englishsetters #fieldethos #livingwiththeland #wildlifehabitat #habitatimprovement #wildlifehabitatenhancement #dancingspringsranch #ronspomeroutdoors

I know I’m supposed to social distance, but I went to a Dance anyway. Everyone looked sharp! And there was no slow dancing. I got no closer than 20 feet, so should be ok. #sharptailgrouse #sharptailedgrouse #grouse #lek #lekdisplay #nuptialdisplay #courtship #courtshipritual #sharptail #dancingspringsranch #ronspomeroutdoors #birdphotography #wildlifephotos #canon100400ii

Exiting solitude on Dancing Springs Ranch already today. No Coronavirus has appeared, but pre-dawn clouds flew past crescent moon with Venus and Mars in attendance while resident pair of horned owls called. And then it started snowing. And then we had a small earthquake. Wonder what else the day will bring. #nature #spring #life #vicissitude #unpredictablelife #springsnow #ronspomeroutdoors #dancingspringsranch #earthquake

Got my partner a new D.T. Systems 1450 training collar with on-demand beeper locator. He says it’s already prevented Cricket from chasing a goose into a dangerous, flood stage river; stopped her from chasing a quail across busy highway; called her off a Kentucky skunk; and taught her proper HEAL etiquette in a week. #dtsystems #ecollartraining #ecollar #gspofinstagram #germanshorthairedpointer #dogtraining

Here’s a rig you don’t see often. BLR in 358 Winchester. It’s the beloved 308 Win. necked up to .35. A 200-gr. at 2,600 FPS will turn an elk into dinner. And yes, those are genuine Silvertips. #358winchester #leveraction #deerrifle #elkrifle #browning #browningfirearms #blr #winchester #winchesterammo #stainlesslaminate #huntingrifle #ronspomeroutdoors #silvertip
Gloomy, rainy day here, so thought I’d brighten with this warm but Endangered I’iwe (pronounced “ee ee-vee”) endemic to Hawaii. Habitat destruction and invasive species are killing off this brilliant songbird. They probe flowers for nectar. #hawaii #birds #songbirds #iiwebird #redbird #endangeredspecies #ronspomeroutdoors

From the Dancing Springs Ranch dept. of Housing & Rural Development. Made in the USA. Affordable housing for bluebirds, tree swallows, chickadees, kestrels, screech owls, etc. 6 hrs work by 3 “veterans” — Carol, Ron and Ron —converted $60 in lumber and nails into 23 boxes plus 3 more cut and ready to assemble. And just in time. When I returned home our first two mountain bluebirds of spring we’re flitting along the snow fence. I got two houses up before dark. Lots more work ahead. #habitat #habitatforbirds #nestbox #birdbox #bluebird #kestrel #screechowl #dancingspringsranch #ronspomeroutdoors #woodworking #whywehunt #conservation #wildlifeconservation #hunterscare #huntervationist #makingadifference #ifyoubuildittheywillcome #homesweethome

Just a boring trigger. What’s the big deal? Precision is the big deal. A proper trigger like this Timney I installed on a Rem 700 7mm RUM a creeping, slightly grating 4.3# pull into a crisp 2# that’s crisp as a cold apple. A good trigger can turn a 2 MOA rifle 1 MOA or better. #timneytriggers #remington700 #trigger #rifle #accuracy #7mmrum #7rum #7ultramag #m700 #ronspomeroutdoors @timney_triggers
