Clapping Good news Marg. I wonder if they were from your area or if they are making their way down here. I was going to go out birding this afternoon, then it started raining, then Brian's son-in-law texted to ask if we would like to join them for dinner tonight (chinese at Ming's..yum, yum), then the sun came out and no time now to get out todayRoll eyes Maybe Ma & Pa will make an appearance soonfingers crossed

Kay, one of the eagles - the mature - flew down towards the beach to a nest there (not far from us). The other two were flying low heading to the beach. We have seen 2 turkey vulchers still around here, today one flew by and landed in a tree - first time we've seen one in a tree. I promise if I see the Victoria eagles fly by I'll tell them to hurry up home.lolNodding

I was sent this by a friend today and I know many Nesters will love this esp. Elle, Sassy and those who follow hawks around!

You may have seen this particular hawk:

For those who don't know, Torrey Pines is a state park and
launch site for paragliders near San Diego, California.
Occasionally these paragliders bring along some special friends.
This is a very cool video!

Just click on it; twice maybe.

P.S. If you have sent an email in the last couple of days to me, I can receive but, can't send reply or? Hoping fixed tomorrow! J./ ED

Grizz, so happy you are back. happy I missed a very interesting topic on wildlife. Wish some one could have a thread regarding needless killing of wildlife! With over population, lack of food resources,trophy hunters, always taking the fittest, the healthiest of the species and so on perhaps a number of people coming together could make a difference



_________________________

Jude: Grizz, Debs and Dude and I are most probably in. I'll be back with a possible link to an appropriate thread.If not I will ask JudyB to start one for us. I am involved with an Animal Defence group that has recently been successful in closing down a retail store in a Vancouver Hotel that sells furs . Thanks to our efforts, the hotel did not renew Snowflakes lease. Even more recently we were able to successfully eliminate all Chinese raccoon dog fur products from Winners stores all across Canada. We have more work to do with Winners but they have been very open to our efforts. Education is key. I have bolded and underlined part of the quote from your post above because people coming together can and do make a difference.
Dude: Thanks. For the life of me I couldn't figure that sign off out and it was so simple. It was easier just to ask!
Grizz: Don't disappear again......................

Oh heck. Sorry about the messed up quote. Trying to fix but no go. You get it I hope. Roll eyes
Bev: Ah too bad you can't be there for this year's scarecrow event. It looks and sounds like such fun!
Dude: I am petrified of heights but I just showed Ian that parahawk video and said " I think I could do that" and he said " Are you kidding? I can hear the screams now!" Lol. Loved the idea of it though.

Hi Nesters!

Elle.....regarding the above post I would certainly be interested in this thread idea. To me it seems preferable to put action above anger and find ways to change things. It gets so frustrating and this would be a way to make a difference. Keep me posted......
