About the Carp I saw at Back Creek yesterday, asked my Naturalist friend from NY (who spent lots of time there years ago) :
" I would call the carp activity "breeding behavior". Probably the female is getting ready to spawn and the smaller males want to be there for the action. I think spawning is when she actually lays the eggs, which are also called spawn. "
It was very interesting, one clearly larger fish, surrounded by a group of about five smaller ones, all swimming all around her, then they took off.
I think the Thousand Legger, must have been looking for newspapers or something, I elected not to take care of him earlier because I think they are so pretty and don't really bother anything
03/24/09: We had ospreys for a bit, but now they seem to have gone. And last night we had a return of our Great horned owl. Maybe the ospreys were just passing through.
Hi fowl friends! Haven't deserted....been lurking off and on....had awful leg cramps early this morning and ended up having to take a muscle relaxant...and then slept way late! Leg is so sore that sitting in chair is uncomfortable, so I've been laying on sofa for the most part.

Feeding time our nest
Okay - Two pics on the Roost link...☺
One thing I can say about using the vacuuum cleaner (after I figured out where the Power switch was)
was to find that the Thousand-Legger failed to survive although he made it partway into the bedroom along the wall :(
Yeah, our little Hosslet is eating AGAIN!!!!
wonder what killed him Margy:)
Suck him up Margy!
PAULA, you have mail:)
Looks like some fresh chow at OUR nest
Live feed is slow but the clarity is good...
I think a slow-motion Poop Shoot is going to be Sight to Behold !
Fresh nesting material in KY Osprey cam, bird gone now, to get more !

BWO UPDATE>>>
I think if there is a Poop Shoot, there are going to be a lot of screen grabs!
I think it is a flat fish...Mits..
TTFN - time to pay a few bills and head out the road for a pick-up with the Grandson...
I hope it is a Wonderful day for everyone....near and far

Mits I hope the Osprey pass through and turn around and come back.

the regulars may just not be back yet, and that platform is a really busy place.

Another fish. We will never have to worry about Hidey fledging. Going to be too round!
Both our nest!
Looks like Lib brought in another whopper!
Think we are going to have one fat little eaglet!
