A dear friend of mine and dare I say a "fixture" around here, "Rick in Oregon" has taken ill and ended up in the hospital.

Few details but he is out of action and will miss the Great Rat Rodeo coming up in a few weeks in Alturas, CA.

As the leader of the Eastern Oregon Raptor Feeding Society he will be sorely missed.

Rick, you are in my prayers,

get well soon buddy!
