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

Covey smelled a pheasant from the driveway and locked up for so long the bird walked away. #pointing #englishsetter #beirlsetters #birddogoftheday #ronspomeroutdoors #dancingspringsranch #covey

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
