Bohemian waxwing chilling on a winter morning. Not sure what makes them so bohemian, I suppose they are the beatniks of the songbird world.

Geoffrey’s hunting diary: Hera and Nos on a winter run
Leave a reply
Footage of Hera on her daily run in early March 2013. She is a plucky little dog, going for a run almost daily over the winter months. We stayed home only on days when the temperature dipped to -30 C and below. On this occasion we run into my hunting buddy Jason and his dog Nos.
