the snap hinges and other parts of pvc I have never seen before and would be great for pond covers to be able to open and door to look in and are not expensive either

.Looks like a kestrel addy but must be a hawk of some sort because beak is to long
They live in our woods, always hanging around.
From what I can figure out it is a Cooper's Hawk. Always hunting in the yard.

I’m at work early, district boss might drop in, and I came in early, only to find a lot of what I came to do already done. Popped in late to check that things were done, to find a mess, after having pulled over half a shift that morning on my day off covering my boss, she was out, so just tired. I didn’t get to work on my fish/ mini pond at all on my day off.

View attachment 116412 View attachment 116412 I built a 5 stage biological filter for the new winter digs from an old parts bin tray. Wrapped some led lights around a old piece pipe and made it into a full spectrum light as I figure the plants were missing some red light. Added a aluminum gutter in front as a cover and boom a virtually free bio filter and light system. The bio system included a chamber for the lava rock from my water fall bio filter and two chambers with sponge one chamber with activated carbon and one with zeolite. Was a fun morning now get snow blower ready for what's to come.

Love the bee hive!

We were at a church sponsored flea market/ yard sale, didn't find any of their stuff that we needed to add to our stuff. We were invited to sale honey there.
