I have yet to see a Pileated Woodpecker. I know they're in the neighborhood, but they are even more shy than the Northern Flicker! Hoping to grab a good shot of one!

They are very cool when they fly. First time I saw one I was like "what the heck is that!" You really can't see it in the photos (except the bottom of the tail) but they have yellow shafts on their feathers (they are also known as the Yellow Shaft Flicker) so flying in the sun they actually...

My son and daughter-in-law wanted to give me a very special Christmas gift this year - so they spray painted horses silver, wrote a Blanton's letter on each and glued them onto a Menards yardstick. I will covet this as much as the real Blanton's bottle top collection... :cool:

Had a Northern Flicker show up at the feeders a few days ago. Could not believe how close he was to me. By far the best photo I've captured of one!

Oh you guys... Thank you all for the well wishes! I hope everyone had a very healthy and happy holiday season and new year. Here's to another great year on CP!

It's great to see you're still around! I keep seeing these CP ghosts pop up from time to time! And still harassing CC86 - his beloved Astros were destroyed in the World Series and I will not let him forget it! 🤣

Latest group of birds around the feeders. The Bluejay has been absent for a month or so, but showed back up again yesterday. A very rare sighting for us at the feeders of a White Throated Sparrow and the Junco's are back and settling in for the upcoming winter months.

Completely agree on the Four Roses. I was definitely surprised when someone suggested I pick that up, but they were spot on. And there are others that are equally as good or better than some of the outrageously priced "collectors" bourbons. One I found recently that is one of my go-to's (if...

My apologies if I did. I was going through my photos and liked the shots. Wanted to share them with my brothers on CP!!! BTW - my son was married Friday evening and the venue where it was held had a strong connection to BT. I was stunned to find EH Taylor Barrel Strength Rye behind the...

Buffalo Trace Distillery - Frankfort, KY. Did a tour a few weeks ago, and caught some great shots. The barrels are located in Warehouse C - and are the best of the best in the warehouse (EH Taylor, Pappy's, etc).

A bit of photoshop tickery I just learned... Loving the result.

Just picked up a Nikon mirrorless and happy to report it is pretty amazing. First photo I took with it. Look forward to many more!

I'd take Wellers, EHT or Eagle Rare any day over the Blanton's - and all of them are cheaper... I did get a bottle of Blanton's while there - and the little 1 oz. mini Blanton's bottles (that were on sale) so that I could split them the Blanton's up with some friends. All were thrilled to...

I had a bottle of the Blanton's Gold - and it was no doubt a bit better than Blanton's. But the price versus what it was - and the supposed scarcity - does not really seem to me to be worth the $$$ or hype. A great bottle of bourbon for the $70/80ish range - but $150? 🤔 I've had a lot of...

You should have seen the line at the Buffalo Trace distillery when people were given the chance to purchase one bottle of Blanton's (and only one bottle every 90 days). It was CRAZY. Thought they were giving away free Lamborghini's! 🤣

Had a blast visiting BT distillery. Had to visit 4 times this weekend to build out collection! And the lines waiting for Blanton's was SICK!!!

ER has its place, but I am mystified why it is so allocated. And I sure as hell will not pay over MSRP for it. That's insane. But I would love to get my hands on EHT Rye - that is one of my absolute favorite rye whisky's. I hate paying over MSRP, but there's no getting around that. I just...

Love the Wild Turkey Rare Breed - very easy to find and a great, smooth, easy to drink sipping whiskey

Photos from this past weekends trip to Louisville, KY. Enjoyed visiting Whiskey Thieves and Buffalo Trace distilleries: Mural on the side of one of Buffalo Trace's buildings. Buffalo Trace's bottom floor of "Warehouse C" (where all of the best BT product it aged). These barrels are...
