hi everyone, forum back up for me and am happy to be on again, have been very busy. thank you Kay and Elle for the information and for this thread. however i try to see the photos you posted and just get error page, site cannot be found, is it my pc or the HWF still maybe? ty for any info on this again. am so happy ma and pa are back and safe, best news in months and glad they have a new safe nest.


759pm thank you Judy, had gone to EA and saw what was going on with the forum photos from reading posts, so just got here now and can see them now. thank you Kay for the gorgeous pics they are fantastic, and ma and pa look great. thank you both Elle and Kay for the posts and pics you're doing for everone here, we are thrilled to see them back and healthy

Richard is bringing things back piecemeal - the forum is up, but he's still in the process of loading the hundreds of thousands of pictures on the new drive.

At the moment, the only pictures you can see or post are those that are hosted on places like PhotoBucket - but with luck it will be better soon.

Thankyou so much, Kay & Elle, for the updates and pictures about our loveable Sidney's. The pics were a sight for sore eyes! So glad Ma & Pa are back in the area and ready to build their new home!

So looking forward to more pics and updates in this thread! Thanks, everyone!

home Ma and Pa Sidney ...we are so glad to see you are back home safe and sound

Kay for sharing your pictures of Ma and Pa they both look great!!!! I appreciate the pictures of our favorite ole tree ....the garry oak . My favorite pictures of the Sidneys were taken in the ole garry oak home or nest I wuv that tree...it provided the very best view and lots of great "first" memories occurred in that nest so it will always be a very special place yep yep yep.

Look forward to all the reports from our wonderful ground crew!!

Ma and Pa Sidney .... enjoy the rest of your vacation .....

I'm always happy to share my pics of Ma & Pa with everyone Debs, its very sad to see the Garry oak nest tree disappearing branch by branch over the past few years

I have had verbal reports from both HarryMilt and eaglesonly/emme that Ma and Pa have been seen in the past few days and both are doing well. The tides in the daytime hours have not been favourable for a beach visit and as soon as that changes I'll be out there, too. We just had a full moon so that means the tides will likely turn. And we expect some sunny dry weather too. What could be better. Look forward to the first beach visit since Ma and Pa's return and documentation of same to share with all of you.

Thanks, Elle --
