**Brian Coyle was able to get three videos of a weasel a few years ago that he took out of his second-story bathroom window.

Was not able to download some still photos from Brian this morning due to weak internet. Ill try again when I get to stronger internet availabliity.

 

 

**Jane LeBlanc's sharp-shinned hawk was back Tuesday morning. It sat for at least a half hour...hopping from perch to perch, preening, enjoying the sun...but no hunting was seen.

Jane and Ed also saw part of the lunar eclipse. The full eclipse happened after the moon set, and there was a cloud bank at the horizon, but Jane got a poor photo of it.

 

 

**Brian Stone got up early on Tuesday morning to get a sequence of photos of the lunar eclipse. The full "blood moon" effect did not occur for us this time since the Moon set at sunrise before it was completely eclipsed. It vanished into the brightening western horizon even before it fully set. Brian merged a selection of photos of the eclipse stages together into one image and shows the thin crescent of the Moon fading into the brightening sky.
