Hi Nightowl,
I see Elizabeth now. Looks like she's in Phoe's old favorite spot looking out over the water. I can't believe how big she's getting now! You are right, whatever that machine was, it was LOUD. I had the volume up only 1/3 of the way and it was too loud for me.

Hey GG!

Well, the rock tumbler is done, now there's just a steady roar.

I was AFK for a while, but now I see Elizabeth! She does seem to be in Phoenix's favorite spot, doesn't she?



The little stinker is just watching the world go by.

As I was typing, I saw that little hiney back up to the edge of the nest...and kablowie!...thar she blows!



I think I missed the actual stream though.

OK, gotta get ready for work.

Hornby Weather

Good morning Hornby!

Looks like a fairly cloudy day on Hornby, but it's q-u-i-e-t. No construction noise, just the wind and eagles calling. YAY!

I'm not sure which is which, but the one on top of the WA struts appears awfully...um...round...to be Pa.



There's been lots of trilling before the round one landed on the struts and since. Maybe Ma and Pa are so used to the noise lately they can't stand the quiet.

Well, whoever was on the struts just flew off. Later!



Elizabeth is up like a jack-in-the-box to check out the view now...



A bit closer one of Elizabeth...

11:06AM Dang it! Ma and Pa are on alert, and Pa (?) took off after an intruder. You could see Pa chasing them, too! That's why the 'dang it'...I got a s'cap, but it only showed one eagle in flight...not both Pa and the intruder.

ETA...

OK, got one! See those 2 black specks? That's one of ours and the intruder...



Ma (?) had flown off the nest also, but came back a minute or so before I saw the 2 in the air. I can still hear them calling. Someone is not getting the hint that they're not wanted around these here parts.

...and it continues...

Pa(?) flew to what appeared to be the Peters' tree, followed by Ma (?) flying down also. Here is Pa flying by...see the arrow?



According to winterwrennie (a resident of Hornby) in chat, there were 2 intruders. I'm not sure if the intruders have gotten the hint yet that this is Ma and Pa's territory.

11:36AM All appears to have calmed down now.
