Good Morning All..
Thank You Steve for the new thread.
I was hoping to be able to post a link to a news article, but I can't seem to get the link to work.
Good Morning Hidey... Wherever you are!! I hear you so I know you are closeby!

What's new with you folks?---Hope you are enjoying your Saturday!!
GWEN---I have a child your age--& you are retired?---ho! Are you enjoying retirement?---
Yes, Norma, I am enjoying my weekend...have my grandson, Dustin visiting. He just celebrated his 15th birthday June 1. Don't know how much longer he is going to enjoy visiting us...but it is a treat! His Mom gave him a .22 rifle for his birthday and granddaddy is going to give him lessons on how to use it SAFELY!
WOW!---TAMMY---you are just a child too!--ho!---did you find your item that you wanted to post?----WANDA could help you with that--
WANDA---as long as you have his gun---he will stay with you!---(i am not a gun person)---My husband was---he hunted all the time!!
Hi Norma...
Thank you for the wonderful greetings.
Hidey is something, isn't she. She is such a joy to watch and listen to. The more I watch her the more I am happy that she seems so eager to start her own journey through life. I'm excited for her.
I certainly am enjoying this beautiful day. Getting ready to start some projects that I have been looking forward to.
About the article I wanted to post a link to here earlier, it was a story about an eaglet in Ottawa County Ohio that had been in the nest (with her brother) and the nest was blown out of the tree. After being cared for, she was being placed with a "foster family" of eagles at the Ottawa County Wildlife Refuge. Her brother had a broken leg but it looks as if he is going to have a full recovery and will then undergo an attempt to prepare him to be set free. I wish I could have posted the link. It was a very nice article.
You all have a beautiful weekend..
Tammy
Good Saturday morning everyone..have a good one:)
Good morning! A special treat to open the cam and have an adult in the nest.
Did not get on yesterday, I had lots to do. Going to be a busy day today....getting ready for tonights backyard party. Jack smoked brats yesterday and going to be grilling hamburgers tonight.
I did want to get on and say hello to you wonderful folks! Have a great weekend.

Oh my! I think the OK eaglet has fledged. At least you can not see it in the nest. It could be really low in the nest, I guess. Also, the close up cam is not working. I really think it has fledged!
UPDATE BWO...............
Nest Update
06/06/09:
After our heavy rains, the father osprey brought in a meal this morning and both chicks were fed.
The last egg is hard to see, but we think it's still there. If it is, the chick should hatch on June 7.
You can view the article by going to
www.portclintonnewsherald.com
On the mainpage in the center you will see a link to "MORE LOCAL NEWS" Click on that.
On the next page it takes you to,
IN the center column you will see "PAST EDITIONS" with Friday in the box. Click "GO"
Once it goes to Friday's articles, the story about the eaglet is the second story in the list.
Enjoy.
I grew up watching the eagles in Ottawa County. The picture in my avatar came from close by where this eaglet will be calling home until she is ready to venture out on her own.
Enjoy...
Nope! Has not fledged! I do believe I can see the top of his head. Hard to tell.
TAMMY!---Stories like that just melt your heart don't they---thanks for sharing----have a good Sat---
ADULT IN NEST.
MORNIN' TEXAS LOLLY!---Glad you had time to check in this am---YOUR party sounds like fun--always a great menu--ho!---You are right--birds are fledging every where---But that's what we want isn't it?--ENJOY!!
Adult watching the sky intently, maybe looking for Hidey
Hugs to you, Norma! I have to check on my great friends! And, I love your warm good morning greetings!
I bet Hidey is down on Eagle School Road. Ha! Isn't that the correct name? I saw it when we were there. I was thrilled to see the street name. Jack just laughed at me.
But, hey, he can not laugh at me or tease me anymore. I have to tell you that he spent a great part of his afternoon following a caterpillar across our yard. We grow Fennel just to feed a particular caterpillar that hatches into a beautiful black butterfly. This caterpillar was ready to pupate, it left the fennel and traveled 30 feet to a bush. It climbed up and started its process. He named it Bill. LOL Well, apparently a bird ate Bill. Ahhhh, the life of retirees!
THANKS TAMMY!---I found your article----It also said that the ERIE EAGLE would be fostered in with the OTTAWA family!--beautiful story!!---I grew up on the WV-OH line---had relatives in AKRON!!
LOLLY--My husband was named BILL! ho!---I can sing sing 'POOR BUTTERFLY'---if that would help!!---funny--
Lolly, you are absolutely right, Eagle School Road. That is where their parents take them to learn to fish and other lifes' lessons. There are many accidents at that intersection. Must be that the drivers are looking at the eagles and not the road!;)
REMEMBER!-----TODAY IS D-DAY----LET US NEVER FORGET!!----65th Anniversary
Lolly, next time, tell Jack to get the caterpillar into a container so the birds can't dine on them and watch the process...fascinating!
feeding BWO:)
Good Sunny Saturday Morning to All!
I am watching the adult in our nest and have read some emails & checked out your comments on this thread.
Good to have a new thread to start the day!
Want to check out some cams - my day has very few plans - I do know there is an arts festival down in Frederick and I am thinking about it. Lots of vendors and music.
DEB!---KESTREL box is MT!!---when I checked earlier on the other thread!--the last one was at the top!----I have truly enjoyed watching them!!
Just had a chance to see your Edible Bouquet, Wanda! Delicious! A great Thank You from special sisters!
Norma, I love you and all of your comments to everyone.I love being retired. When I started menopause it was time to get out of nursing, even though I loved it and would never have chosen another profession.I keep one of my grands every afternoon and feel like he's my child. I'm so blessed to have both of my grandchildren in Lancaster. Wish my husband would cut back. He's a F.P. physician and works 16 hrs. some days. Hope to see Hidey sometime today. Love, Gwen
Will do, Wanda! We were all prepared to watch Bill. Sad!
Norma, he said he named it Bill because that could be a girl or a boy name. LOL My mother's nickname was Bill. Her daddy had wanted another boy, said he would still call her Bill. LOL As she grew older she was Aunt Bill to a lot of cousins.
MEMA JO---left a note on other page for you to check the HERON NEST!!---awesome earlier---One can see MOM standing by the nest of the with the 'little ones'!!---COOL!
Thanks GWEN--you are too kind!--1963 date always grabs me---I brought my youngest home--1st thing I heard on radio---JFK--had been shot!---always felt the world changed that day!!
Tammy, thanks for the article. Very interesting! I wonder about the age of the eaglets it was placed with. They would have to be about the same age.
Well, gotta go, dear friends! Can not sit here all day. Have food to prepare, tables to set out, etc! Going to record the race today to view later.
Have a great day!
Hi Norma - I was just watching those long legged high nested herons the other day! That cam on Wild Watch is really good.
I can see the OKLA eaglet resting down in the nest - only the wide range view. I did see the close up yesterday & s/he looks like first flight is near. I wonder where they fly first time around with being in the middle of the water.
Hope Jack finds another "Bill" to watch.
Steve will be a happy nestor again as I did check out beakspeak to see that we were #1 yesterday and for the last 7 days! Of course we don't need the polls to tell us what we already know about being #1!
I can only hope that most bloggers were viewing last night's escapades which Norma mentioned earlier. Quite a show from our 'young'n'. Hidey outdid her food capturing skills!
Tammy that is a great article
Thanks for bringing it to our attention
Love those kind of endings!
An adult with our 2 newly wingblinged eaglets at West End nest. And a poop shoot!
That cleaned camera lens does wonders for us viewers - so clear!
Taking a break
BBILW
Hidey is in OUR nest
Looks to be eating
I was away and didn't see or HEAR
when s/he cam in
looks like Hidey eating nestovers.
Hey to everyone. I see that our baby is in the nest this morning. Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! Sunny weather here in southern WV.
MORNIN' BIBEE!--We are having glorious weather here in the EASTERN WV too!----ENJOY!
I'm actually a lot older than you think. I'm 63. When I put in my info. I did something wrong and couldn't get it corrected. I told ya'll I'm dumb on the computer. Enjoyed watching Hidey while I ate my lunch. He/she is the smartest little bird or should I say big bird. Do they eat the bones and all of those big fish. The nest seems to be so clean. Gwen
Sun is shinning now and my potted plants are loving it! I bet Megan's garden is aglow with colors!
Hidey resting down in the nest
Good time to break away and sit in some sunshine.

Here is the link to Tammy's article.
Ohio Eaglet
Great story, Tammy. Thanks!
Good afternoon! Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine!
Busy here.....getting stuff done, slowly but surely! Will check in whenever I take a break.
JIM---You haven't picked a winner for the BELMONT today!!----
I think 'CALVIN' is going to WIN today & become the first jockey to win a TRIPLE CROWN on different horses!---????
Hi, I have had a lazy morning here. It is cool and rainy, but at least it isn't snowing like in ND!
THANKS---BIG TIME---HEDGIE!---I didn't see that write up when I checked earlier this am!!---Isn't it a wonderful story!!---TAMMY will be so glad to see that you shared the story---
OH GWEN!!---I know I love you!!--I do things like that all the time-WHOA!---It's no big deal!!---just shows you WE are human---stay COOL!
Deb, SNOW???? ARGH! Glad it's not affecting you! Rain will keep you settled in for some R&R, right????
The range pics were lovely!!! That boy is only 23....sounds like he intends to keep ranching/farming....hope he keeps a straight head on his shoulders.
Snowy ND today
DEB---There is SNOW in ND?---Does that happen often in June?---I remember you said it was much colder in ND!----I am a believer!!
Yes, Lynn, my only goal today is laundry and rest.
It is snowing in Montana, too. They are supposed to get 5-10 inches. I hope the Osprey nest weathers the storm.
Be careful in the woods today.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZANKFxrcKU
Norma, they said on the Weather Channel when it happened last, but I don't remember when it was. A long time ago, though.
Hi, Robert. We had a discussion about that song not too long ago. I myself don't remember it, but lots of others do.
No snow here......up to 89 now. But, the humidity is down, so that is good. Quite pleasant in the shade if you sit still. Tonight should be okay. Company comes at 6. It should be a little cooler and the whole back yard will be shaded.
Hidey whining in the nest. Spoilded eaglet~
Good morning again.
Glad to see Hidey flaked out in the nest this A.M. ... must know it's the weekend and he can sleep in. Hahaha.
Seriously, they need to rest and stretch and grow, but it was too wet yesterday and last night. Reminds me of me when I was in my early teens.
[In fact I sometimes need it today too. Hahaha.].
Can't believe it. In a few short hours they got a perfect picture, which refreshes when it's supposed to, at Finney's site!
Have a great Saturday, everyone.

Hidey is fiddling with the turtle shell.
Tammy's article
Here's the 'bluie link' for Tammy's interesting article.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Hidey must be hungry. She seems to be picking at the turtle shell. Good article about the eagles. Thanks for sharing.
Poop Shoot from Hidey
Hidey appears to be throwing a tantrum fit! Too funny!
DEB---I am listening to MICHAEL FELDMAN on NPR & the town of the week is CHAMBERLAIN, SD!!---They talked with the mayor! --- Have you ever heard that show!---I love it!!
Funny bird! First a poop shoot, then jump around and flap a bit!
Hidey is rested and up on the edge of the nest again.
Now he's hungry of course...
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
POOF WENT HIDEY
Just took off into the wild blue yonder!
Not quite sure what Hidey was just doing, flapping around the nest like before she fledged. Maybe it is her way of asking for a food drop.
Thank goodness we have SOUND and know when something is going on at the nest!
BBILW
LOL Jo! That did look like a tantrum.
Yep! That's what called me back to the nest. Ok, I am off again. I had mopped and the floor is dry now. Time to go make meat patties.
BBL
I haven't heard of the show, but I have spent a lot of time in Chamberlain, SD. It is right on the Missouri River.
Good morning, Norma.
I'm with you 100% on the Belmont. Mine That Bird is the favorite for a very good reason.
The only "possible" contenders would be unknown distance runners that haven't run in this series yet. "Gentleman..something", can't recall the exact name, would be a possibility.
But I think it will be Calvin Borel on Mine That Bird over the finish line first.
I've got to see if the track is drying out yet. Sloppy tracks don't make for the most exciting races.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
I worked for the DOT for the State of SD one summer and we were stationed in Chamberlain. We were working on the interstate at the time. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun, too.
DIVERS!
Norma, I put up a couple of pictures of Chamberlain on Deb's Photos. One shows the old and new bridges, they still use both of them. The other shows the boat races from last summer.
Turning eggs at Finney's nest.
If you have troubles there, just try refreshing multiple times. It seems to cycle, and it will usually return to the picture you want.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Good morning, Deb.
I hope all went well yesterday. God bless all of you and your Dad.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Jim, the services are Wednesday. I fly into LAX on Tuesday, then we head right up to Hemet.
The Allen's chick is missing from the nest again... It went missing several days ago, but it turned out it was branching.
Don't know this time... AND the camera seems to be misaligned this morning also???
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
DEB!---1955---Last time it snowed in ND in JUNE!---(googled) ho!---before you were born---
Thanks DEB!---Great pic of bridge!
DEB!---Have thought of you often--read the ob of your grandmother!---Both my parents died fairly young & I am the eldest of 3---We just didn't think about this happening & had a hard time getting info--& remembrances together--but you will---my prayers go with you---GOD BLESS---
need food---I cleaned & refilled my hummer feeders!---mixed more red stuff!--ho!
Liverpool-England-I saw this eaglet`s fledge last Saturday morning @ between 5-40 & 5-55am USA time...he left the nest on the left hand side underneath the webcam. I could see his wing tip flapping from a branch nearest cam and he was squeaking franticly. I didn`t see him again until the ~Sunday evening - what a fright I thought he`d got lost...Brill cam... watch everyday.
Welcome Robert and Anfield.
Anfield, you are the 2nd lurker who caught the fledge....and told us about it later! LOL! You are our second "across-the-pond" blogger: our dear Chrissy lives in Kidderminter; she doesn't blog much anymore but stays in touch via email!
Deb, good pics--Chamberlain looks like a nice place.
The snowy Painted Mt., I assume, is usually very colorful, right???
Lynn, if you are talking about the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, it is very similar to the Badlands. It is very colorful when wet, earth tones when dry, but still beautiful.
Norma, I was already born by 1955!
I see sunshine on the nest.
DEB!---SD is so neat---you all even have a TEDDY ROOSEVELT Park!
That's being way ahead in conservation!!---
WELCOME ANFIELD!---So happy to hear that you have been enjoying watching our EAGLES!!---Don't you think HEIDY aka MIRACLE is something else!!---Being the only child---she is SPOILED ROTTEN! ho!
But we LOVE HER SO MUCH---We are trying to overlooks her TANTRUMS!!
Finally got my decorative spray painting done...flower baskets, milkcan, concrete froggie....thank goodness for sun and no wind!!! About time!
Also emptied some boxes of seashells....put them in some outdoor planters and a big stone swan, plus added a couple more basketsful to sunroom....they've been taking up basement space for 16+ yrs.! Only one box left!
The annual Arietid meteor shower peaks on Sunday, June 7th. The Arietids are unusual because they are daytime meteors; they stream out of a point in the sky not far from the sun. The best time to look is just before dawn on Sunday morning when it may be possible to spot a small number of Arietids skimming the top of Earth's atmosphere. Such "Earthgrazing" meteors tend to be long, colorful, and very pretty.
Norma, I wish we could claim Theodore Roosevelt Park, but it across the border in ND. We have Mount Rushmore, the Badlands, and WIndcave National Parks here.
WHOA ROBERT!---LOVED the 'Teddy Bear Picnic'---my kids loved it when they were growing up!---LISTENED to JOHNNY CASH too!!--GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY!!---THANKS!!
DEB---I know you have MT RUSHMORE!----MY #1 place I have wanted to visit since grade school!!! ho!---
It is beautiful, Norma. So much to see in the Black Hills. Crazy Horse, still a work in progress, the Needles, Custer State Park, Spearfish Canyon and lots more.
I have returned from Toys R Us! A 3yr old ggd Sophia is tomorrow b-day party!
She will be a good nature gal - she even carries worms in her pockets to take inside to keep safe & warm. Love her!
I have a few minutes to spare before getting ready for evening Mass.
It has reached 80° out there!
Welcome Robert & Anfield!
Norma you really don't need to add RED to the Hummers liquid. They find the sugar water even when it isn't colored.
Deb - you are having a laid back day!
Great for you! I knew you were serious about the snow in ND - but I am glad you gave us a pic!
Oh, Jo, a girl after my own heart. my folks loved to tell the story of me carrying worms and kissing them!! Guess that's why I never minded feeding my toads through the years! If I wasn't so busy trying to get ready for the big visit, I think I would have started another terrarium yesterday evening when I saw a nice big hopper.
When is your bunch getting in from Germany?????
Crazy Horse
If you were at Crazy Horse today, you could walk on his arm. This weekend is the Volksmarch.
I am doing laundry, Jo. So I fold a load and wait for the next to dry!
Megan, sounds cool.....wish I could see anything in the sky this time of year! I'll see what time dawn is and TRY to see!
Hidey sure knows when food arrives!
Our baby is back with one of it's parents. She sure is hollering today. Must be hungry.
Hidey is in the nest. There must be food there behind the blob. Did the adult who was just there bring something?
Yes, the adult had food that Hidey quickly claimed!
That was a good shake!
Germany crew arrives the 19th of this month and can stay until July 7th!
I am off to get ready for Mass
I'll be back.......
Glad I get to see Hidey before I leave..
The Osprey at BWO is up and down, up and down, but even though I've gotten several looks at what was under her, I CANNOT SEE A THING! Can you??
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Not me, either, Jim. Looks like a feeding was happening. I think I see a little blob of Osprey. Dang it refreshed.
Thanks Deb.
It is good to see Hidey coming and going. I haven't been able to get online much recently. We have had so many storms in Virginia, I was a bit concerned that something could have happened to the nest, but it looks like the eagles have weathered the storms okay.
Time to fold towels, bbl.
Deb, didn't see an anticipated completion date for Crazy Horse...11 yrs. in progress so far! Looks like they have a heck a long way to go!
Well goodness, that eaglet won't starve. The parents are certainly patient.
Is that white thing in the middle of the nest the turtle shell?
I guess Hidey took too big of a bite.
Is it me or does Hidey look bigger than Lib? Could be Hidey's a girl!!
That is Lib in the nest (being bitten on by Hidey)?
I suppose all of the flying around makes Hidey hungry.
Turtle seem to be a big part of out little eaglet's diet. Along with fish.
Hello, Donka, I do not know the adults apart yet.
Looked like Hidey bit Lib on the wing.
I saw that, too. I expect Hidey could deliver quite a peck.
Hi Stronghunter, Belle is larger than Lib. It appears that our little eaglet is almost the same size if not bigger than the parent that was just there, that's why I assumed it was Lib. Belle usually looks bigger than Hidey depending on the location of our baby or his mamma.
I think it is hard to tell which bird is bigger unless they stand right next to each other. Most of the time Hidey looks bigger than Lib, but he is always at the back of the nest.
MARIA----I love your DOG!!---What's his/her name?
Thanks, Donka. I have heard that the female is larger than the male, but I have some problem telling which is which unless I see them both, and then, as you say, it depends on how far they are from the camera.
Hidey really looks big. I guess he /she might not grow much larger.
Hi Normabyrd. Thank you and her name is Roxie. She'll be 11 in August. Don't have any children of my own, just Roxie and my black Torti cat Annabelle.
Is the OK eaglet the one at the Sutton site with all of the water around it?
Lynn, Crazy Horse is funded by donation only, no government money, so it is taking a long time to complete. If they would have taken money from the government, it would be done by now, but they wouldn't have retained control of the project.
You have it right about the OK nest, it is at a lake in southern OK. Lolly and Jack went and visited it earlier this year.
Lolly and Jack's trip to see the OK nest
TIME TO TURN TO ABC!!--
Hi All!
I am so excited as I will be travelling near the nest this next week (staying near Martinsburg). Am I allowed to go on campus and photograph the tree with the nest? Seems in the past some have posted pics from trips to the campus. If I can, do I have to make special arrnangements? It looks easy to find on the map. Any help will be muchly appreciated!
Susan in Central Va
(who's been showing her students the nest on the projector for four years)
Thanks, Norma. I want to see the race.
Yeah, Norma....and hour and a half of hoopla, and then the race is over in a couple of minutes!!! Your jockey was on Letterman last night....he's READY, and says Mine That Bird is ready and WILL win!!
You have to make special arrangements, but it is easy. Just e-mail Steve (his e-mail is on the main page of the blog). He will put your name on the list and the guard will let you in.
I didn't know that DEB!!---I just supposed -- located in SD--belongs to SD---politics in everything!!
I remember seeing something at Crazy Horse many years ago--more than eleven years ago, probably in the 1970's.
HEDGIE!---One thing---he certainly is a cool one!---acts as if nothing bothers him!!---I have been nervous since lunch!---& I don't have any money down! ho!
Thanks Deb!
I'll e him as soon as I know what day I can be there!I'm assuming I'll be far away and need a powerful zoom...time to get out the old 35mm film camera!
Susan
I was there last year in the spring. I drove by when I was in the Hills a couple of weeks ago, but no time to be a tourist on that trip.
STRONGHUNTER---Which horse do you like?
You will be on the road, the tree is in a field next to it. I don't remember how far back it is, but binoculars are needed to get a good look at the eagles.
It would be nice to see Mine that Bird win, but then I do not even know anything about the other horses.I did watch the other two big races, but I have very limited knowledge. What about you, Norma?
STRONGHUNTER!!----I am betting on the JOCKEY!!---
Almost race time eagle friends. Hope that Mine That Bird brings it all home first.
Pardon my ignorance. I am still learning who everyone is. I know someone had a lot to say about the jockey.
Both parents in the nest.
Lib took off, Belle is eating.
Adult in nest.
Even those of us who have been blogging awhile get confused, Stronghunter.
Hidey must not be close to the nest. Food delivery and she didn't come to steal it.
Poof, Belle.
Hey, I feel good that I remember the name of the horse.
I am always impressed at how patient those eagle parents are.
How much longer can we expect the eagles to hang around the nest?
Not too much longer, about a month at the most. Then later this winter, they will start getting the nest ready for next year. Early next year the visits will bet more frequent and we will see them getting serious about nesting.
Thanks, Deb.
Nice to see the Finney nest cam back to normal! Sure wish water one was working...I want to see a ferry!!
I wish it were, too, Lynn. I love that water nest.
Susan in Central VA---welcome. So cool that you will be visiting...do you have family in Martinsburg? We have quite a few Momsters in and around Martinsburg!
I'm right nearby in Hedgesville.
You're talking about the nest in Finland? I had been wondering why people kept saying that they saw boats at that site. I had just seen the one view with no water. Is there another nest, or are they different views of the same nest?
Sometimes Steve is slow to answer emails, so you can email Mema Jo (just cick on her name and then on email)and she can give you his secretary's number.
Stronghunter, the other Finland nest is on the shore of a fjord. Beautiful....but it got knocked out by a hailstorm on 23 May. doubtful that it will get repaired this season. Cam is frozen on a foggy pic:
FinlandFjord
Thanks, Hedgie. It would be nice to see that one in action.
The osprey and the sea eagles battle over the nest....at last view, the osprey had won the rights!! But we hadn't seen any eggs before the cam went out. I will post a pic of the sea eagles on my blog, Lynns' Lair.....give me a minute.
Okay, stronghunter, pic is posted...just click on my blue name and then scroll down to my blog!
I misspoke...there were two eggs in the nest before cam went down (osprey eggs!).
Ladies and Gentlemen...it is ALMOST post-time!
Hedgie,
On the Finland blue link you posted on here just a bit ago, I can't get anything to come up on my computer. Is it just me?
Let's go MINE THAT BIRD!
Thanks, Hedgie. You have done a lot of work on your blog. I've enjoyed your pictures before.
Hidey just landed nicely.
Well, Summer Bird won. Mine that Bird was third. At least a BIRD won!
Oh my, Norma....too bad....I think Calvin held him back a little too long....but I think Summer Bird is a brother of Mine That Bird....and at least for us, the winner did have Bird in its' name!!
Sorry, Norma.
Bibee, it must be you!! Your computer, I mean....it opens fine for me from that link.
Thanks, stronghunter....I'm just an amateur....we have so many who do much more much better!
Norma, am I remembering right or wrong....did Kent Desormieaux (sp?) ride at CharlesTown at one time???
I had no trouble opening the link either, Hedgie.
Wow, Summer Bird went off at 11-1!
Some dispute going on that he may have bumped someone....if verified, disqualified....which would put Mine into 2nd....which of course is still a loss.
I've only been to one horserace. I don't think we even placed any bets. Eleven to one would be good odds, though.
I don't think it was Summer Bird involved in the controversy. It was the horse that came in 2nd.
Hedgie, my computer says that internet explorer can not display the web page. So, I guess I can't get to that one. Thanks any way!
Dunkirk--that's the one that came in second.
Okay, all official....Summer Bird payed $25.80 on a win. Not too shabby if anyone bet a lot!
I got it on Internet Explorer.
