later---

Good morning. We are headed to the 90's today. I have lots to do, so I can go play with the birds today. Time to get moving after a lazy morning.
have fun Deb:)
raining at the nest again.
Good morning to all my eagle budlets!
HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY to the bestest friends ever! :) Where would I be without you all!
Sheesh, HEAD IS REALLY HURTING!!!
Good morning, everyone.
Raining here. Big storm woke me at 3am with heavy rain, thunder, lightening. Rain supposed to be around all day.
I'm sorry about the osprey. Wish the decision had gone the other way. I suppose I, too, wonder if the bird might have become a "teaching moment."
Off to take care of Sunday business.
Cheers,
Judie
Morning Deb, Sharon, Judi and Norma,
HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY TO EVERYONE
Storming here.
Going to shut down.
Good Morning - it's a wet one!
Not a good day for a market - Hang in there Megan.
I have read emails and your comments - Of course I checked our cam first!
MT :<(
Going to check out other cams.
Happy Friendship Day Everyone
Mema Jo, our nest is not MT, it has a tree in it!
Finland osprey eating nice big fish:)
Just came back to comments...
lol Sharon! I see it now!I thought I missed Hidey!
Look at the Finney Land site...
Are there 2 osprey in the nest.. For awhile I thought there was only 1.
Yepper there are 2 "My sister's Keeper"
Good Morning Drying Out Eagle Pals
I'll say thunder boomer! did a number on my plants!
Funny sounds our nest...could it be Hidey ?
11 or 12 burrowing owls having fun in Washington
And that is a nice squishy gooey looking fish at Finland !
xo
Need to get dressed for the day
BBL
Squirrel party at Pix PA -
Happy Friendship Day to Everyone also!
But isn't every day Friendship Day on Here ☺ ♥
the Heron Nest looks like no one is home...have they fledged ?
so Norma, how are the grandchildren?
I was thinking too, Mits as we have talked about before on here a lot...if we didn't see the cams i.e. Hugo's and Finney, we wouldn't see it and "feel" the misfortune so much, but still know it was part of Nature...but it is going to be difficult watching things unfold there, for sure. :(
I just to remind myself that
It is What It Is....
Best Wishes for a Great Day for all, hope Market goes okay for Megan, and everyone else's plans unfold nicely.
xo TTFN - got to take care of a bunch of stuff ...♥
yes, Margy, not sure I want to watch the chick at Finney's nest die, did that with Hugo the stork.
Happy Friendship Day, Friends!
Just have a sec! Time to walk out the door for church. Just wanted to get on and say Good morning!
Enjoyed Jo and Chrissy's cards. You gals are on the ball! Thank you!
Gotta run! Later Gaters!
Happy Friendship Day to all our wonderful friends!
Strong thunderstorm here this am before dawn. Not much since, but gloomy.
Norma...I don't bet on the horses, but saw the outcome in the paper!
Thought maybe grandkids were holding your puter hostage! Hope you are having a GRAND time!
Mits, do you still have company? Is Jay down for the weekend?
Judie, how about a hair of the dog that bit you??? LOL! Bloody Mary's are good for that!
friend left yesterday, Lynn
Happy Friendship Sunday Everyone!
Had heavy rain here over an hour ago.
Yesterday evening saw that Shorty the Squirrel totally dug up a flower pot on deck. Fubby is gonna have to stop putting out peanuts or throw them out in yard!
Still need to get a good video of wrens bringing food to house & get big peeping!
BUT gotta go in to work for a few at Chelsea. Compiling figures for Annual Report.
BBL ☺
NORFORLK SITE----1 'REBEL' is branching!---home for rest or food?
WISHING ALL MY EAGLE BUDDIES A VERY 'HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY!!
later--
Slow here today! Home from church. We are going to Laurel's this afternoon. She has promised us fajitas for supper. Yum! Michael's new home has a built in patio grill, so we are taking her Michael's old grill that he does not need. Her's was ready for repairs. So up we go in Jack's truck with the grill.
Have a great day! Enjoy a beautiful Sunday! I shall return.....later!
Good afternoon everyone! Is it true about the Osprey at the Finney nest? That being the case I don't think I can watch anymore. I can't even watch the ASPCA commercials on TV. Makes me cry. More sad news. After our storm this AM hubby went out to look for our newspaper and found a dead hummingbird off our front porch on the walk. It was a female and I hope it wasn't feeding young anywhere close. Never did get the newspaper.
yes Finney's chick has a broken leg, they found out when they banded the Finney chicks on the 14th of July.
I think that it is true, Diann. One of the chicks has a broken leg--at least that is what we were told. They banded or "ringed" the chicks and put them all back in the nest. From what we have heard, they will not do anything to help the chick.
It is very sad. Makes you want to sneak in and steal the chick and bring it home.
storm headed this way....shutting down for awhile to watch it.
Finney chick is sleeping with its siblings now in the nest.
From what I understand, that is a man-made nest. I think that it is odd that they will intervene to build a nest, but not to help an injured bird.
Whew! Finally got some pictures posted. Made new link, "Massachusetts" - duh, put them in backwards order, "leaving before we arrived," but, oh well.
Also added Wildflowers pictures (check out the dark dark purple vein on the Morgan Co. Joe-Pye)
and some bird and moth pictures on Feathers, Fur and Miscellaneous.
Got bills paid in the meantime now have to go mail them!

PA NANA
I am so sorry about the little female hummingbird...too sad, comforted that your husband was able to find her, though.
Aw sheesh, I return home only to find out I now have to add a Bloody Mary!
Still sort of rainy and overcast --gloomy day. Will cheer up later with a nice steak, potato, and salad to celebrate hubby' 72 birthday.
Did get some shrimp so plan to satisfy that craving with garlic sauce and pasta tomorrow night.
Sorry about the hummingbird. Was just watching one outside our kitchen a few minutes ago. So tiny and cute.
I agree it does seem ironic that humans will build a nest but not try to save the little one.
Hope everyone is having a good a day as possible.
Judie
GOOD NEWS! POWER TO THE PEOPLE AND THE D.C. EAGLES!
Just coincidence that our district supervisor called a few minutes ago to talk with hubby and I was able to ask her how I might get to J. Moran without causing any prickly political feelings. She asked that I send her an email about the DC eagles and she will make sure Moran gets it. Turns out she lives in his district (I don't). Will send an email by tomorrow morning.
Cheers,
Judie
Yea, Judie! You might want to mention how touched we were to see him at the eagle release and know that he has an interest in eagles.
It seems that we even have a picture of him at the release.
No alcohol today, Judie! You have to be at your best.
You do not have to drink for anyone!
Link to Mason's candles
Just thinking of Mason and his devoted family and friends.......
This link will wake you up!!!
Judy, tell Frank HAPPY BIRTHDAY from the Momsters!!!! Your dinner sounds yummy---one of my favorites! You could have a Bloody Mary with it! LOL!
Wonderful news about a Moran contact! I am very disappointed that I haven't gotten any more responses after all the mails I sent out.
And no word from Elkins Bill about what Sen. Byrd said!
LOL! Mema Jo that link was a mind boggler. ;o)
Just the chuckle I needed today!
thanx
I've done that one before, Jo! Took a couple of tries before my brain got coordinated!!!
Yep! Very slow today but it's good to have one of those days every now and then.
Happy Birthday Frank
Enjoy that delicious dinner Judie is preparing for you!
Speaking of dinner - I best get my head in the refrigerator and see what is going on our table!
BBL
Okay, first time my score was zero! I was told it was truly shameful. Then I improved to 38%--below average.
And I can' t even say I've never seen this before.
There is a poster like this on the ceiling at my dentist's office. I don't do well with that one either.
Will and I are going out for dinner and the Harry Potter movie.
BBL.
Happy Birthday, Frank!
happy birthday,Frank:)
Hi my good friends in Eagleland.
Haven't read comments. Need a lot of catching up to do in time. Not now. Eyes still blurry with less and less pain. Stop the one drops August 5th but continue other two kinds until August 28.
Missed everyone and miss knowing what has been going on.
I have to let you all know I did get a letter from Senator Roberty Byrd. It said he is going to check into the Eagles matter I wrote him about.
Jo I am reading backwards on commnets. I got 88% on your test. hee hee
Happy Birthday Judie's Frank ♥
Yay - It's Dana ! We have missed you too !
xo
Juvenile Eagle on Branch Perch at Lake Washington ! ☺
And you said your eyes were somewhat blurry!! Wow!
Going to Cracker Barrel - my frig only has veggie leftovers! I need some meatloaf!
Oh, have found the most awesomely pretty Pink-Flowered Swamp Milkweed here in Martinsburg, in a swampy area all right! I have been waiting on them since seeing them here last year.
Off Rock Cliff Drive on Lakeview in big fields near the old 7-11 Store, for you Berkeley County folks....
This is also the field where the family of five deer, four bucks in velvety antlers, and one doe, hang out ! I put another round of Wildflower pics on my link for these.
you can tell the days are getting shorter everywhere....Finney's nest is dark, with a slight bit of setting sun in right hand corner, and it is only close to 1:00a.m.
love Cracker Barrel
off to fix dinner here...
Dana -
There was a visit by Hidey tro the nest, I think it was Thursday, check Paula's links, she has a great video, and JO got some stills on the Momsters Album, which is combined July/August.
I love Cracker Barrel too! Wish I could go!
What do I see at Blackwater Osprey Nest? Looks like a crow feeding Bravehart.
I just was at that site and it was parent osprey feeding her.
Shirley, my Gynocologist has a poster on his ceiling too, and it is all BABIES...hundreds of them! I DON"T want to see babies when I'm having that exam!
Look again, Helen...please tell me I'm not seeing things!
Wild Turkeys at Pix !
right now BWO is stuck, on 17:44, it is a parent, their feathers are nice and smooth, and when head is down looks like a blackbird
the other parent is in lower right hand corner...
Wanda - I think it is the dark Osprey Parent
ROFLMBO! That would have been way cool if it had been a Crow...
I will need my hip-boots to get better pictures of that Swamp Milkweed, or just go in barefoot. The field borders the Tuscarora Creek....also saw a family of ducks in the creek but we each surprised each other...
Fields are not posted (for No Trespassing) so I just drove my vehicle right up on the lane between them.
Yep it is stuck all right Helen, and the Eagle Cam is only half open.
Where is Ceil ?
I am having a cream cheese and olive sandwich and I would like to share it with her ☺
OK, if you say so:) Looks strange to me. But then, I just came from GeeGee's and had a G&T and Margy, you know what THAT can do! Tee Hee
very heavy storm going thru BWO right now....
Sooooooo, Wanda, maybe you will be MIA for a little while ?? ♥
You must come home from GeeGee's the back way through "Star Acres" and check out that field with the Pink Swamp Milkweed sometime.
xo
Well, too late for Ceil - I just gobbled up the last bite.
Time for prepare for napping to go in at midnight for a shorty shift of 6 hours to start off my work tour.
I managed to get a good capture of a Green Heron last week on a dead branch at Swinging Bridge...that's on Fur, Feathers and Misc. Also a couple of turtles.
Well, Best Wishes for a Great Evening for all. Will be good to get the latest news from everyone, hope that nobody had to work too hard and that Deb had a good outing.
TTFN Happy Hopeful Hidey Watching...
xo ☺
NWS has issued a tornado warning for Dorchester county, that is where BWO is....Wand the bird has a white head and a white feather on its back
Margy I am here. Just got here a little to late to share your sandwich. Thanks anyway. Just ate some candies from Switzerland that my son sent us. They were good.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JUDIE'S FRANK.
Love Cracker Barrel also. They have good grilled cheese sandwiches.Love the gift shop.
BWO is working. Jo I got a 0 the second time. First time was not much better.
Hi, Everyone,
HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY, and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FRANK!
Hope you're all having a good day!
PA Nana, so sorry to hear about the hummingbird. What a shame. :o{ Along those same lines, I'm asking you all to say some prayers for one of my young heron friends. It showed up this morning dragging its right leg, and sporting a broken and dangling flight feather on its right wing. I have a call in to the Rescue & Rehab facility for shore birds in Huntington Beach, but haven't heard back from them yet. The poor baby is obviously hurting, and I would like to try to catch it and box it up, but am afraid I would stress it pretty badly in the process. It's hiding in some thick asparagus ferns, so is relatively safe, but although it can fly, I'm not sure it's able to capture live food. It's right leg won't hold any of its weight, and just drags. It's breaking my heart! May try to find some fish under the trees and put them where it can find them and eat them. Poor little guy! His sibling is nearby on the roof or in the trees, and is totally OK. Any ideas?
Andrea sorry to hear about your baby heron. You have done the best by calling Rescue and Rehab. Call them again. What about the sites we were given yesterday? Are any in your area?
Jo I got 100 on the fifth try. Duh I was doing it wrong.
Company coming. BBL
Hi again! Going back out to the 9:40 movie. Got supper at Red Lobster.
Was all very nice until son's ex-ex girlfriend showed up with her family. They were seated right next to us, almost on top of us.
Funny, they requested another table! Son was eager to get out of there!
Delicious!
Check out the Sindey nest Eaglet is back for a visit and is doing nestorations.
Did get my margarita tonight! Judy does not have to drink another one for me.
. . . Judie.
Hi everyone,
I am soooooo upset! The steaks were awful. Would only have served them with a side order of Fixodent! Wouldn't really matter except Frank offered to go out and I said no, I would like to fix something special for him. Well, so much for that. Next time will be restaurant night. That way I don't have to feel I failed remedial Julia Child. Wish I had chosen cream cheese and olives.
Hi Dana, sounds as if you are getting better each day. Just be patient (no pun intended). You are going to be better than ever before. How's Ed doing? Encouraging there was a positive response for Sen. Byrd.
I wish I knew something to suggest about the injured heron. I guess I would do exactly what you have done -- call the pros.
Shirely, enjoy your dinner with Will. Have a glass of whatever for me.
Back to turn my light out later.
Judie
Hi Judie--Sorry the steak dinner did not turn out the way you wanted.
Dana--So good to hear from you again. Good that you are feeling better.
Andrea--I feel like the little heron is my little buddy, too. Hope they come rescue him soon.
I am about to take a nap before going back out to the late movie.
When we came in a little while ago, we were scolded by a little finch. I think there is a nest in the tree by the garage.
Shirley, how uncomfortable for Will and you. I'm sadistic so after they moved to another table I would have requested another table right next to them.
Thank you so much for drinking the margherita tonight! Hope you were both still able to enjoy dinner out together.
Thank you to all those wishing Frank a happy birthday. He was surprised and, I think, a little flattered.
Later,
Judie
I'm thinking that I'll probably hear from the rehab people tomorrow. I bet that since it's Sunday, the only people there are the volunteers that actually help care for the birds, and they probably don't answer phones. I looked at the rehab listings from yesterday, and the one in Huntington Beach is closest. That's probably the one I called. Before that I had called a local gal who's known as 'the bird lady of Orange County', but got her husband. He said she wasn't home, and they don't rehab shore birds anymore--just raptors. Have been told you need to be extremely careful when trying to catch herons and the like; they can inflict a lot of damage with their long beaks. I think I'd still like to try to catch him, but he's in some really thick brush, and I don't think I'd stand a chance of getting him without injuring him more.
Andrea I wouldn't try to catch the little heron - he should be safe hiding in the bush I pray. I hope you get a call by tomorrow - You need your mind on the books, gal!
Trying to clean out some of my emails by answering them first and then deleting them.
I have so many folders and find I hardly go back into them... Clutter I think it is called.
BBL
Judie, sorry to hear the steaks were filet of buffalo butt! Hope you managed to salvage the situation, and the evening wasn't a total loss!
Thought about calling animal control, but don't want to take the chance that they'd just euthanize the little guy. He just seems to have broken his leg, but can still fly, and if he spent a few weeks in a splint would probably be fine.
Have heard too many horror stories about crossed wires and misunderstood stories by the local animal shelter people to really trust them to help. (Isn't that a shame? That's a whole other story!)
Tell me about it, Jo! I've been trying to study, but just can't concentrate. Darn it all, why do all the wounded critters find MY house?!! Wonder if I could figure out a way to put a dish of water out for him. That might help.
Decided against trying to put water out for the little guy. His sixth sense is very well developed. Afraid he'd really flip out if I got anywhere near close. But guess what! Keep praying, you guys, because I believe they're working!
The sister/brother of the gimpy guy flew down to him, and is now hiding out with him in the bushes! Hope they brought him food!
Our sprinklers will go on shortly after dark, and the heron(s) should be able to get a drink then. The sprinklers reach that flowerbed, but won't go back far enough to get the birds soaked.
I'm upset about the Finney chick, too. If they are willing to interfere enough to band the chicks, and they banded the injured one, why in the name of common sense wouldn't they try to rehab it?!! What's wrong with them, anyway? OK, I'll shut up now. (But probably not for too long!) >:o[
Well, gotta go get some inspiration for dinner. Or what I mean is that I'm needing to be inspired as to what to have. BBIALW.
P.S.~~Thanks for letting me vent! I feel much better now. :o]
You can vent anytime, Andrea....we're here!!!! Hope the heron does okay....thin you've made all the right decisions. Isn't that sweet that the sibling is being attentive?!
Judie, sorry about your steaks....but I know Frank appreciated your thought!
Shirley, enjoy your movie.
Hope Margy is getting some shut-eye.
Jo, know what you mean about the folders!!! I really need to do some clean-up, too.
Mits, hope the storm wasn't bad!!
Have been busy doing job apps with/for daughter. And watched some movies.
NASCAR race was postponed due to rain and wet track. So it will be on tomorrow. ARGH!
Still haven't eaten....guess I'll fix a tomato sandwich.
Was watching the Finney chicks. One of the able ones was eating, then the injured one got the food-didn't see if it was given by the able one, but both of the other chicks are watching the injured one eat.
They look like they are standing guard over their sibling.
no Lynn, storm was not bad at all, bungeed the furniture for nothing.
Vent anytime you wish, Andrea.
Off to the movie, BBL.
Of course, if you hadn't done it, it would have been bad, Mits!!
LOL, love the thread title...stormy thread. Most appropriate since it just stormed here!
How is everyone this evening?
Did Hidey make any more appearances this weekend?
Heading for sofa....Army Wives will be on soon! Cinnamon acts like she wants some lap time, too. BBL.
Mits, are you going to watch the boats go out for the tournament this week?
I've been watching for you - hope Mom's house is getting in ship shape!
No Hidey since the other evening.
Everyone really appreciates your video.
Andrea, you may be able to find a wildlife rescue that would help your heron.
We had the kids painting with primer over the weekend, and the wallpaper peeling is coming along. One more bathroom to go. Just have to spackle and the rest of the rooms will be ready to paint. And John is coming down this week...I offered to pay him to help. I knew he could use the extra $$$, but now he really needs it.
And thanks for the info on Hidey. Sorry he took the weekend off, but glad I was able to video at least a little bit on Friday.
Hey, Paula...how's the house coming?
Paula, your video was super! We all felt like we were given a present:)
It's really starting to come along this weekend, got a ton of stuff done. My SIL came over today and helped clean up 2 bedrooms to get ready to paint.
Also, my younger brother is taking a week off and working on the house...they can't go on vacation cause one son has football practice. And he has use it or lose it time. Between my 2 brothers and son, they'll get the place knocked out.
I am home, we all went Kayaking tonight.
We had 8 Eagle sightings, I think, though that we saw the same 4 Eagles more than once. Two adults, two Juvies.
Paula, I do have an update on the two eagles from last summer that were rescued on the river and on Beauty. Have to feed dogs, then I will get the updates to you.
:):):)
My Pleasure!
Maybe you can have a PAINTING PARTY...invite the neighbors, give them a G&T in one hand and a paint brush in the other:)
Cool, Deb. How are the osprey Chicks doing?
Back in a few, gotta tend to the dryer.
Hey, anyone interested in a Road Trip to Paula's Mother's house? We could get a lot of work done and have fun doing it!
Deb, I admire you so much, you get the MOST out of life!:)
To Track Halie and Luke, the two eaglets rescued from the Missouri River:
Eagle Tracking
I think I'm going to go to bed early tonight. Have been sleepy all afternoon. Maybe too many G&T's at GeeGee's;) (I did have one Mountain Mama)
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS FOR ALL
I try, Wanda, but of course, now I am tired from a long day.
Paula, I usually go the 1st day, which is tomorrow, but don't feel like setting the alarm for 3 o'clock, if i wake and feel like it I might....
Paula, may have forgotten to thank you for the Hidey video -- had so many drinks last night tryingto keep up. Also, good luck with the painting.
Oh no you don't. Not going to entice me to paint by offering a G&T. I'm sworn off after last night.
Frank was a good sport about the tough steaks. Just disappointing as all you home chefs can appreciate.
Going to turn out my light now. Prayers for all the struggling critters and those of us who care so much about them.
Goodnight,
Judie
glad you are getting your mom's house done.....
good night everyone.
Beauty update: Her upper beak started to grow, which means every time they try to attach the artificial beak the nub has changed. So for now any attempts to attach the beak are on hold. They will do a CAT scan this fall to see what is happening and reassess then.
Osprey chicks are doing fine. Gabby doesn't remember me and is no longer the meek little Osprey chick he was last fall. He is feisty and wants nothing to do with people, which is a good thing!
Evening Everyone!
Happy B'Day to Judie's Frank. I have a Frank, too!
Andrea, so glad you put a call in for poor little heron.He should be O.K. Will they go to Finland?
Just checked that nest & Baby Boy was eating fish.It was hanging out of his beak, so he finally scrunched down to hold it w/good foot. What a little trooper.Wonder if Ed Clark would go there if a collection was made for ticket??
Oh, Deb...just looking at your woodpecker reminds me, my daughter, Karla, has posted a photo of a woodpecker on her facebook that looks just like yours. I didn't know that we had them in this area. I will tag her photo and post it for you to look at...or maybe you can see it on my facebook. I'm not sure how that works. Too sleepy to do it now...tomorrow.
NITE.
roflmbo....Wanda go to sleep....Mr. Jusie:):):)
Wow Deb & Paula, you both are so busy. Will check eagle video in a sec.
Paula, you should have a painting party! We could make a Hidey stencil!!
Ha, Ha! I did mess up...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR. JUDIE;)
OK, OK, I'm outta here:)
I'll skip the G&T and have an Eagle Talon.
Deb, is Gabby the one that had to have tail feather splints?
yes too bad, Frank's steak was not Jusie;)
ah yes, a good old eagle talon..night again.
Yes, Gabby is the Osprey that was sick, had tail feathers implanted and then crashed and cut up his upper wings. He ended up going back to Idaho for the winter.
LOL, love those eagle talons.
But it sounds like G&T was the drink of the weekend :)
Wonder what the house would look like if we painted it while drinking, LOL.
That is good news about Beauty. Do they think her beak will grow back? And is Gabby now an educational bird, or will he/she (can't remember) be released?
Wow, Deb, seaturtle.org tracks a ton a wildlife.
Good night everyone. Pleasant dreams.
They have a ton of Chesapeake bay eagles, too.
Gabby will be released and tracked. The biologists want to know what a one year old Osprey will do, since it should be down south now.
Wanda, I will look for the woodpecker picture. I checked out Margie's pictures. It looks like they had a wonderful time.
When I was driving Janie from the airport on Tuesday, they called from the tracking center and told Janie that they thought Luke was down somewhere near her place. They sent out a search team and couldn't find him anywhere. It was a temporary transmitter problem, thankfully.
They do the tracking on Azalea, from NBG, too.
Finland Water Nest is Empty -
I'm Awake ! Would rather Keep sleeping !
Hello Busy Eagle Pals
Hmmm, that should be interesting Deb. I wonder if he will head south.
All intersesting info from Deb's Corner of the Wild World !
If you turn your NCTC Cam up loud, you can hear Katydids ! ♫ ♪
I would love to help with the house, Paula
If it is for painting, only dark colored or Yellow paints for me, because I end up getting most of it in my hair, thus, No White !!
LOL, you are safe Margy...using all whites!
I'm not always certain that my wildflower names are correct, like the Wild Sweet William for example, it could be some other kind of phlox but I finally decided on Sweet William, very much like Dame's Rockets in appearance and abundance, but one more petal and the leaves are opposite rather than alternate. By the way, Dames Rockets around here are known as "James Rockets."
Paula - for you, I would make that exception though...☺
And I had to go to Massachusetts, Deb to see some varieties that I can't find around here. Wanda has Spiderwort, though, beautiful flower, not so pleasant name !
If you have turned your NCTC volume up, remember to turn it back down! ☺
I keep forgetting, we saw a Sandhill Crane tonight! I didn't know for sure what it was, just that it had a long neck!! Janie sees them a lot in Idaho. Roger and Mary missed it, darn. That is the bad thing about Kayaking and trying to get pictures. It is hard to do when you are paddling.
Wow, looks like an eagle talon & G &T night. I must be in the wrong place!
At work today, didn't see much wildlife around the pond except the usual---Harry GBH, Squawky green heron, some geese, & a couple fuzzy antler deer.
AND Margy, drove to other side of the pond & the NY Ironweed is in small buds!!!!
Gotta finish up some stuff here.....
Bet it is Deb Either I, or the camera, or both would end up in the water !
Sandhill Cranes....our Genie seems them often in Florida. New York pal saw one with a bunch of Trumpeter Swans over the migration season. Would love to see them in person.
Glad you had a good day !
Glad you saw the Ironweed, Loretta ! It is exotic...
"seems...." sees them often I meant.
I know I was watching a website I think you mentioned last year on them, Deb...now I have to go find it again. Have you checked on the little Kestrel babies? Precious Two !
I better say Good Night to everyone now...your sleep time, my work time coming up
Sleep Sweetly...and dream of all your favorite things, friends.
God Bless Us, Every One
..And I hope Andrea's Night Heron makes it through okay..
xoxo ☺ ♥
I checked earlier today, they are so cute!
Ha! All three birds back at Finland Water !
It seems too soon to already be August!
And also it is already 11:00 and my eyes are very tired.
I hope all is well with Megan!
Love all the pictures you are placing in your personal blogs..
Going to close down for the evening after checking what few cams are still active......
OH, Andrea, just read where you did call the bird rescue. How far are you from Huntington Beach??
Evening everyone! I'm watching the Finney nest and see there are two birds in the nest. The one with the broken leg seems to be very alert and is exercising his wings. It did look like he had some trouble eating back a little, but he apparently managed it. Could this bird survive even though he's crippled? He seems very determined to; or is that wishful thinking? Afterall,humans can manage remarkably well with some handicaps. Sure hope so!
Blessings to all - good nite!
I saw an Osprey last fall with a bad leg. It was flying well and landing well, but fishing would be hard. It was a migrating Osprey, so it made it as far as Yankton. I sure hope the little one in Finny land nest does as well.
As always, nice pics, Deb!!!
Paula, bet you are worn out.....get thee to bed!
Diann, when they banded (ringed as they call it) the finney chicks, they said the leg was broken....I sure hope that it heals quickly & w/o deformity and that the chick can then fledge. Thankful that parents and sib are still tending to its food needs.
Loretta...let's hold off on any more rain dances for a few days, okay???
Hope your shift is quiet, Margy, and hope tomorrow is a good day for all.
Prayers and peace. Goodnight.
P.S. Margy, I love Cracker Barrell, too----what evening are you free???
Here's wishing everyone a peaceful night!
Good Night All
Prayers for everyone's needs being said
((hugs)) ♥
Yes, Lynn, you are right! I am whooped...hard getting out of the chair to check the dryer. Think I'll have to turn it off and finish it tomorrow.
Read all the other days, but too tired to comment!
Catch ya'll tomorrow.
gnite,
Hugs to all ♥
Well, we are home. Had a great fajita meal at Laurels. Brought Joseph home with us! Yea! Laurel is coming tomorrow, but Joseph decided on his own to come home with us. Tues. he and Laurel are going to Six Flags. Jacob, Jack and I will join them in the evening on Tues. Jaoob is too young for a full day at Six Flags.
Anyway, it was a good day!
Talk with you tomorrow.
Good nite and Sweet Dreams!
Good morning! Awaiting Hunter's arrival this morning.
Enjoyed the movie last night. Read all of the comments when I came in, but was too tired to absorb everything, as it was very late.
good morning everyone...have a good one:)
just got back from OC inlet, watched the parade of boats going on their 1st day of the Ocean City White Marlin tournament...woke up at 4, and decided to go on down.
so odd to see an MT nest at Finland:(
Good Morning ☺
Turkeys and Raccoons at Pix PA.
And a deer, might be a buck, and some birds
Well the buck is invisible now.
Megan - We will need the name of the Full Moon for this month, please...happens Wednesday just before 9 pm
I agree Helen, Empty Finland is so different looking.
Glad you got up to enjoy the boats !
Nice, the Finney Mom Osprey is feeding the disabled chick, and the other one has a fish of its own ☺
Really neat article in this month's Astronomy Magazine, about Moon Bows! And some great pictures also. I have never seen one but I will be watching now!
they are all taking good care of the Finney chick...off to get some java.
chick in the nest at Finland Water now...
Work shift was a quiet one, rest of the week will probably be busy with the County Youth Fair...so I guess I better saw some logs. I go back in at 6 om for 12 then tomorrow again same thing.
Gonna make like a Pea and Split, before THE Split.
Best Wishes for a Great Day, even if it IS Monday.
xo ☺ ♥
