Howdy Nestmates!

I've been on a constant run but had to pop in to read a bit and say hello. Especially when I saw the post -- and what an upbeat, optimistic, wonderful post it was -- FROM SUE!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you're out enjoying your sunshine with your dear husband and feeling Life Is Good. Big to you, Sue! I do believe your body is telling you something happy. I think Jean probably found you up there on

I paused to read BIRDTALK 101, Linda, because I love cardinals and I bet Sue loved that too!! She is the Cardinal Whisperer.
Your photo of the female is just gorgeous and I hope you don't mind I saved it. The video you did of the males' calls was so helpful to me and I will replay it when we get up to Door County. So cute the Titmouse waiting his turn. great shot Nice pic of Stacy and what you expressed about your daughter =

Lori, so sorry for your dizziness. Hope it stops pronto! I might have missed your post when it first began. Is it Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)? I am familiar with that and the "tossing around" procedure the doctors do to fix it. If that is the situation, they have those exercises online.

Kathy, that squirrel hardly looks like "an infant." I think he's faking it to get a hot meal.

I looked at Jewel a little bit and she was making "Denovations" to her lair. (Is that the bear equivalent of Nestorations in Eagledom?) She was digging in the back, creating a bit of a dust cloud, and had pushed the 2 little ones out in front so that was fun to see.



to you, Annie, losing your notes. Probably more accurately I hate when that happens.

Nanc, I was amazed by the eagle shots you got a couple days ago and enjoyed seeing them. I couldn't believe how far you were from the nest and still got those shots. Very nice.

I'm going from memory here and sure I left out so many things I wanted to comment on, but have to go somewhere right now. I hope to get back here later - still want to post some pics.

Tues. Evenin'........

Got the riding mower back this afternoon from Mr. Walker, our repair man, & had to get on the back yard. Kase mowed, i "spotted".
It was a jungle of springtime grass/weeds. Rains are moving in for the next several days. If we hadn't done it today it would be next week before it would have dried out.

(((Sue&Steve))).......happy day to hear from you.
Rest as well as sunshine & fresh air is just what you need.

(((Lori))).....prayers for a good appt.

Anna....

Scott....concerned & watching for you to check in.

Nestyas!

Good afternoon

Sweet pics of Mama Papillion and her family Kathy.

Nice pic of Ma OBF in her nest elle.
I hope you get to see 2 or 3 'lets there soon.
Looking forward to seeing the pics from Pat Bay.

Thanks for posting the morning greet Jean.
(Yep, just an early morning.)

Great vid of Runty playing the piano and singing along Rose.
If only the kids would clean up as well as Grace does!

I didn't fall asleep in the recliner Linda!
I did have to get up at 4 am though. As it turned out I should have just stayed up as I didn't get much sleep anyway.
Cute pic of Sisky.
Beautiful pics and vids of the Northern Cardinal. They're such pretty birds.

Lovely Tuesday greeting Laurie.

Good to hear you're feeling a "little" better today Lori.

Nanc

Great to hear from you Sue.
I hope you and Steve had a lovely walk.

Anna! Great vid!!

Annie

Thanks for the EFOTD Judy.

Nice s'caps of Jewel and the cubs Dede.
"Denovations" works very well. Nice one!

It's too early to start mowin' Naoma!
I thought there was a 3 or 4 day limit before there was cause for concern here.

Sue, Yahoo! You sound wonderful. Glad you and Steve feel like this chemo is working for you. Great! Love your positive attitude.

Anna, that is priceless!!! Love it.

Annie, sounds like a very busy mind. Hope that storm passes with no damage there.

Jean, love the advice to Annie.

Judy, thank you for the EFOTD.

Dede, great s’caps showing Jewel and Herbie and Fern. So sweet.
Cannot wait to see your pictures.

Scott, when you get yourself here, I want you to know that Sidney is very close to coming back according to both Pittsburgh papers. Letang still has concussion symptoms.
Oh, there you are! No, we take roll daily!

Gord, wasn’t it great that Anna was able to catch you at the end of your run?

(((((Lori)))))

I just called the troops back in, they where on their way to scout for Scott. What do you mean 3-4 days, we count on you like the sun rising and setting. Scott has returned!!!! In all seriousness, I was worried too, so it is great to see your post tonight my friend.

Dede, Adorable Jewel and cub shots. I'm glad you enjoyed the Cardinal as the BOTD and the video. They are very plentiful in my area all year round. I have a pair in my back yard frequently. Stacy is a wonderful daughter and mother to Marinda, I was truly blessed with both of them. You can help yourself to any of my photos, I'm delighted you liked it. I had missed hearing from you too and it was great to see your post my friend.

Sue, You do sound wonderful and rest and exercise is very important for good health. My hopes are the same as yours, the doctor will have only good news and a big smile the next time you see him.

Naoma, Wow, cutting grass already! My yard is full of oak leaves, so when it warms up here and stays warm, I will cut them up with the lawn mower. I hope that is not until the first of April. It did reach the 70F today with strong winds from the south.

Nancy, The calf was still having trouble walking, its back legs were really shaky. Glad you liked the cardinal too and my lovely daughter Stacy, she is a sweet heart.

Elle, I sure hope you saw Ma and Pa today, I will be watching for your follow up. Thanks, the Cardinal is a beautiful bird and its song is beautiful, my favorite is the one that sounds like pretty, pretty, pretty pretty.

Anna, How did you do that, it sure looked like Gordie in his red dress skiing down the hill.

Annie, Sorry you lost your post. I hope the storm is gone and all is well in your area.

Lovely Mourning Doves at Stacy's yesterday. There are so many beautiful birds in the woods around her home. These two were perched in a big old oak tree off her side deck.





Lori, I hope all goes well tomorrow, I will be watching for your update.

Judy, that is wonderful that Delta eagles have two eggs. very nice captures my friend. I hope you are feeling better.

I'm off to work out and watch some TV. Everyone have a good nights rest, especially Scott, Kathy, and Lori. It sounds like the three of you could use a good nights sleep.

Dede Finnegan the squirrel says you one smart lady to figure out his tactics....

Let me in, I'm hungry!!



There's more ways then one to get a hot meal!

Almost Evening

We haven't gotten any rain but the wind is howling and the temperature took a nosedive..may freeze tonight they say. From 81° yesterday to this. No D & D today that I saw and from the looks of their food, they weren't here.

Washer/Dryer be here tomorrow..thank heavens that's taken care of...I'm missing some $$$$
now. Elle, Thankfully, all the entertainment electronics are up to date. I shouldn't say that, the TV in the bedroom is a 27 yo 17" so you may be on to something.
Aw, I'm so glad you updated me on Panda and Yardley. They cross my mind all the time.
I just have to say though that Panda gets whatever he wants! ok? I can see yardley is wriggling his way into your heart!

Jeannie, I'm locked and loaded! You be a funny one GF. Nanc thinks you're funny too.

More like a cluttered mind dear Nanc

Thanks for the s'caps Dede. I love the bears! The notes were my own fault...guess I thought I had already posted them. My mind jumps ahead of my actions.

Judy, Love the Efotd s'caps.

Linda, I just love the Cardinals. Beautiful photo of them with the sweet Titmouse.
Oh my, you know how I love Sisky. Thank you for sharing him again....been awhile.
Stacy looked so pretty in that photo. You obviously raised her right; she is a joy for you.
Gorgeous doves. I think they have the most gentle, sweet look of any bird.

Aw Kath, What a precious photo!

(((((Lori))))), Sure hope your dizzies are gone now!

I know I'm still behind but a girl has to eat.

Oh, forgot to say the W/D are Maytags.

This was our sunset two evenings ago. The clouds and blue sky seemed such a contrast to the firey setting sun. They are clickable.




Like I've said, if I've made mistakes (no doubt), I can't be held responsible.

Saw Ma and Pa Sidney today. Ma is not incubating yet. Back with pix tomorrow as bushwhacked tonight.

Annie: Panda's Mum was just pulling out when I got home tonight from Pat Bay. Panda was waiting for me on the stairs . She ( Panda's Mum) stopped and spoke to me. Tell you later. Panda gets what he wants , no worries there.

Cheers everyone.
