Raptors, Whiskey, and Trivia

My nap was not really long enough, but dinner was at 6 pm. We had spaghetti and meatballs and chicken fettuccine Alfredo. There was also grilled asparagus and a zucchini dish. I ate mostly meatballs and the chicken and skipped the pasta. The veggies were especially good.

The evening program started with a bird rescue organization that brought a van full of raptors who had been injured and could not be released to the wild again. Most were injured on the road. There was a hawk that has the largest wingspan of all hawks. Then there were 2 Peregrine falcons. Finally, there were owls. A great horned owl who was over 25 years old. They thought it was male until a few years ago when "he" laid an egg. There was a tiny little pygmy owl that she said weighs as much as a mini candy bar. The funniest was the barn owl that just screeched when the handler pointed at it.

The whiskey tasting was 6 ones from Montana. I'm not a huge fan, but some were pretty good. There was one with Huckleberry that was quite tasty. Nolan was not really prepared for it and mixed up the whiskeys with the descriptions.

He was less prepared for trivia. It was hilarious since he just started giggling when he messed up. It was all Montana/Ranch questions. I played with Danielle and Kelsey, and we won. Of course...

I sat by the fire for a bit and watched the sunset. I knew Thursday was a busy day, so I headed to the room. Nolan was leaving in the morning to go home for a wedding, so I gave him a hug.

The bed felt great!Les mer
