Primary day 2024 was very light at one Adair County location. Two precincts - West and South Columbia - showed only around 150 votes on the machine counters in the last half hour of voting. Good training, however, for the November election. Comments | Permalink Congratulations to Bailey Watts and Andrew Zinati

I saw this hawk flash in front of my car to land on something in a nearby yard. I stopped the car to grab a photo. I'm not sure if he was protecting the catch from me or from another hawk overhead, but the wing spread to pretect what they've caught is called "mantling".
Columbia Magazine's Senior Consulting Buteologist, who assisted with the ID, says this could be a juvenile, based on the eye color. (He also says Cooper's Hawks are accipiters, not buteos.) Comments | Permalink Older Photos
