Thanks for the s'caps of the RTs Bev! They are sure growing and look close to fledging size! Esp. the older one.

Yes, Kay I read about the platform and I also read that the eagles may have nested in another tree. But that area is all private property and I don't know the people at all, if I have the correct area.

Oh good Lonette, you survived! I'm glad! :thumrht:

Well thanks JudyL. a trip to the LA Coliseum would be most interesting! I'll put it on my 'Bucket List'!

Sj, I do hope you are doing better and getting stronger every day! Will light candles for you and others now!

NNSTDLBBBYA!!! :mrgreen: :nod:

P.S. I won't be here in the morning- meetings! :dunno:

Morning Nester Buds


I never called SJ last night...so no update; I missed our established timeline so it was just too late to call; will call tonight.


SJ Hope you are feeling better ....we are so missing you here and we are all joined together stormin heaven that you have turned the corner and are finally on the mend. Sending you lots of northern sunshine along with all of our love and some super sized hugaroos from all of us here

John Are you watching Game One tonight enquiring minds want to know

Bev Love your snappies of the chicks they are so adorable Cannot wait till they fledge and are off that ledge....bless their hearts. The storm at NCTC last night :cry1: was some wicked hey ....so hope our family is okay...cannot wait till our juvies fledge then they can come north and visit me eta Just saw your post....so glad one of the babies has fledged that is awesome news...will watch the video later thank you for sharing the link


Kay Thanks; oh no it was not food poisoning :no: it was some type of viral flu as I had a high high fever...the fever has since broke but I still have a low grade fever :dunno: and frontal forehead sinus pain? Love the pictures of the Brown Booby ...very beautiful bird. Look forward to all your pictures they are stunning


Jwinx Nice to see you perched here again..sounds like your daughter is a chip off the ole block


Lonette too funny love your posts So glad to hear your root canal is behind you ....I need bridge work and soon


JLWhat a great trade off for you both ; a clean house and the doggies get their training as well Thanks ... I never have enough time to visit all the nests now there are just too many now. The Morning Doves look so big already and to think they will fledge soon ....so hard to believe that their nesting period is sooo so short!! Our longer daylight hours are awesome .... right now it is still light out at 1130 pm and as we get closer to the longest day of the year it will be twlight far beyond midnight then light again ....so hardly any darkness here at all.....just wuv it We have a Midnight Open at the golf course every year in recognition of the longest day of the year it is always well attended...they golf till midnight and partee to the wee hours too then start all over again


Well Nester Buds hope you are all well and keeping out of mischief too I am working tomorrow so must get all my prep done today; teaching a sour gas safety course called H2S Alive its a mandatory 8 hour course for anyone working in the oil and gas industry or any industry where there is a potential for sour gas to be present. So have lots to do today....so best get cracking

Have a great day Nesters Buds

Good morning Nesters

I've been spending a lot of time watching and recording the Delta 2 nest since Monday. One of the eaglets (Goldwing) has not been well and the speculation is that it might have swallowed a bone that has become lodged in it's crop Judy/jkr has been in contact with Bev Day at O.W.L. and she is hoping if it is a bone that it will eventually be digested and the eaglet can get rid of it. It seemed a lot more active yesterday but has not been very active today. I don't think there has been much food brought into the nest the past couple of days Sure hope GW will be OK :nod:

Debs glad to hear your bout of sickness wasn't food poisoning :thumrht: However, suffering with an intestinal bug isn't nice at all. Hope you'll be 100% soon Thanks for your kind words about my photos Hope all goes well with your 'sour gas' course tomorrow :thumrht:

Bev thanks for the link to the RT hawk 'fledge'. I watched it and I have no doubt that the wind caught the hawklet's outstretched wings and carried it up, up and away I don't know if it was ready to fledge but I certainly hope it didn't crash land in a nearby tree or on the pavement below

John are you getting out to visit the eagles you photographed a few weeks ago? I've been wondering if that nest in Courtenay ever got a cam installed in the tree :dunno: I am hoping to take a drive there sometime this summer :nod:

JudyH glad to see Mom dove finally let you see her babies; they are very cute Hope you had fun with the dog training session and your house a sparkling clean :nod:

jwnix thanks for the link to the caterpillar photo on Flikr. I was looking on Wikipedia last night but there are so many different kinds of caterpillars I couldn't tell which are the ones we have here

Lonette sorry you lost your post; it's so maddening when that happens Yikes, your root canal sounds scary but you must be so relieved that it is over with

Here are a few more pics from our air-boat excursion in Florida.

2 alligators in the area behind the reptile exhibits.



A male and female Boat-tailed Grackle in the everglades. Our guide was feeding them.





Hope all Nesters have a good day!!

Hi All -

Love your photos, Kay. They make me feel like I'm right there. Awesome. Yes, indeedy, I am glad that the root canal is over and done with.

I just really had to drop in and say:

Debs - you really are the only one that I know of that would look forward to sour gas. OK - back to work.
