Nightowl, this video goes with your snapshot

Thanks beans! I love it! This is one time a picture just doesn't do justice to the action. You actually have to see the action to get the full effect!

Good evening Hornby!

Looks like it's been a bee-u-tee-ful day on Hornby today.

I got this s'cap, and didn't have time to post it...I forgot I had to be at work 15 minutes earlier than usual...and should have left a minute before I took this one.

Someone is sitting mighty tall in the nest...



This is from this evening. One of the adults is on top of the babysitting tree. I can see now why Doug named that tree that...a nice vantage point for seeing the nest and anything around it.

*ahem* For your viewing pleasure, the ships this evening are the Volendam and the Island Princess.

The Volendam is in front traveling at 12.9 knots, followed by the Island Princess traveling at 13.5 knots.

My goodness - it never ceases to amaze me what I can learn on this thread!

Hey JudyB!

We're just full of surprises, aren't we?

Elizabeth is taking a look-see around...probably surveying her future domain. She's getting SO big now!



ETA...

The setting sun reflecting on the water. Purty!

I thought this was Ma on the nest...



BUT then...one landed on the stump...



...and the one in the nest flew off, leaving one sitting on the stump.

So now I think that was Pa on the nest, and Ma landed on the stump to take over for the night.

ETA...

8:35PM Whoever was on the stump, is in the nest now, gliding down beautifully. I think that's Ma with Elizabeth now.

Ma with Elizabeth.

Holy moly! The Island Princess, going 14.4 knots, is gaining on the Valendam, which is only going 12.2 knots. It's going to be a race to the finish, folks!
