Wildlife & Related

I was outside making paths in the snow for the chickens, otherwise they won't leave the coop, and the dog had her attention on something. The dog is supposed to be on restricted movement so I was looking around at all of the usual squirrel spots and saw this guy. It's a good thing for the dog because All the chickens were just walking in a straight line with their backs turned and staying in the very narrow track I made them. Once I started asking him uncomfortable questions about Kathleen Peterson he flew away. I sure wasn't expecting to see him out at 10:00 am though. Probably couldn't hunt much while it was snowing. Also, had to aim the camera funny or else it would try to darken to compensate for the white sky and then you couldn't see him at all.

How do you even know this shit? I had to look up that name.

P.S. LOL

There is a documentary on Netflix called The Staircase that is all about that case. When I was working in Nebraska and staying with friends we were watching. The Netflix show doesn't mention the owl at all, and I otherwise thought it was kind of a dumb documentary. My buddy told me he looked up the owl theory and that actually changes everything for me. They wouldn't allow the owl part in the trial, but in retrospect all the evidence makes much more sense.

I've never seen the documentary but you intrigued me, so did some digging. Looks like the editor of the Staircase became "romantically involved" with Peterson. Such a freakin' socio. Just like many other historical killers (Bundy, anybody?), charming enough to bang a lot of people who should know better. There was a "Peterson" on the west slope, named Michael Blagg. He got a retrial on a technicality, also tried a long-shot defense explanation trying to assert it was a different serial killer who happened to be in the area.

He failed. Guilty 2x.

Dang Hummer, where do you live? Don't know about all that snow, but I could dig the critters.

Well, we're in moose country north of Ward on the St. Vrain River and off the Peak-to-Peak highway. In the past week we've had a good 2 ft. of snow. I'm hoping for more....
