Hi Nesters

So nice to have a few minutes to read everyone's posts and see the fabulous pictures.

SJ: It was so good to see your post and I was thrilled to read that you're feeling better and downing all of those healthy foods, thanks to Shelley.

John: That bird is a male Northern Flicker. It comes to my suet feeder in the fall and winter.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Marg... Gorgeous sunset last night...

John...YAY!!! you got to see two eaglets at the swimming pool nest... doing wingies too...

Bev... You must really be enjoying those MAJESTIC Ships...

jwnix...The article certainly didn't elaborate... but I would imagine that if it could have been put back in the nest, it would have. As Debs mentioned, the rehab facility was quite a distance away that they had to fly the bird. Blanket handy in eagle country....LOL

Debs...I was so happy to read that the family really did all they could to help this precious eaglet...and this little one will be well cared for until it is time for it to soar free. You just cracked me up with the "Northwest Territories 911 number....LOL
Oh.... magnificent sunset at WR with one of the fledglings in view... SWEET (as my son would say).

Tomorrow night I will be watching Adam Lambert LIVE at this time.... WooHoo.

Nighty Night Nesters....

Freedom and Jeff
Freedom and I have been together 11 years this summer. She came in as a baby in 1998 with two broken wings. Her left wing doesn't open all the way even after surgery, it was broken in 4 places. She's my baby.

Bev I'm enjoying your photos of the beautiful flowers in your garden, and the s'caps of the tall ships are fantastic, especially the one at night with all the lights sparkling I love the 'happy dance smiley'

John hope you are able to get some nice pics of the eaglets in your area. You'll just have to take your thermos of a lawn chair and an umbrella for the and camp out for a few hours Enjoy watching the British Open today

Diana your cake was yummy; thanks so much Your flowers for Marg are beautiful

JudyL beautiful picture of the pink roses I love the eagle sculpture That was a wonderful story about the people who found the eaglet I always carry an emergency kit, a towel and a blanket in my car; you never know when you'll need it I hope you have fun at the AL concert tonight; he's got a phenomenal voice and I always thought he should have won Idol I absolutely love that picture of Jeff and Freedom

Well Nesters, it's time to get some chores done and head to the grocery store before dinner. I hope everyone has a wonderful day

Hi Nesters

I'm back already.(Don't fall over from shock)

I just had to come and share a couple of pictures with you. Remember that raccoon picture I showed you a while back? Well, I had heard from the neighbour that they were living under a shed at the end of our block and that there were 4 babies. I was hoping that they'd eventually come around when the babies were older.

Sure enough! The other day I heard the crows making a huge fuss and the noise was getting closer. I grabbed my camera in anticipation and positioned myself on our upper patio facing the backyard. There was no way I was getting close. Finally, there came mom(or dad), being very cautious, leading the 4 of them on a tour.

She led them across the yard to a water dish that I have on the ground for squirrels, birds, etc. It was hilarious to see them all try to climb in while mom stood guard. Then she continued her tour across our small patch of grass and made her way through to the next yard. It sure made my day!
