Big Harry Weighs In: June 23, 2012

Big Harry on June 21st

Scott, so glad everything is okay now where you are. Reading that link makes me think of the nest areas and wondering about the people you visit with out there. Hope they are okay.
Armadillos are just great. They are quite interesting too. My first graders loved to research them and especially loved it when they found out they could swim!
I think I am falling for Big Harry! That face is just so sweet!

Lori, I love armadillos too. That one didn’t seem to know that I was out there at first. When I started moving around to get its picture, it became aware of me. There are actually 2 of them, but only one this morning.
Hard not to peek at the ospreys isn’t it?

Good Morning

Sunday ~ June 24, 2012

Good Morning Friends,

I'm heading down to the falcons before work today. I have to drink my Red Bull before I go, energy on the run. George emailed me that there is less action each time he goes. Mostly the young ones soaring over head. That is very good news for our young falcons.

Scott, I'm glad that the storm passed through with out bringing you any damage. Sorry to hear that all the rain has caused the Fraiser River to flood. We are in a drought state, very little rain if any and only sunny days ahead. I hope the sun returns to your area soon and stays.

Harry sure is a good looking bear, I'm sure June will miss him. Thanks for the comments here and at the thread, it sure has been a great nesting season.

Jean, Great to hear from you and know that your computer is up and running.

Lori, Great follow up on the Broadcast. It sounded like great fun. Kathy naughty, I can't believe that.

Doreen, I'm glad you are enjoying the eagle and falcon family photos here and at the thread. Thanks so much for your comments. Beautiful Osprey family, thanks for sharing my friend.

Gord, Talk to you Wednesday same time same place my friend. I sure hope I don't smell skunk. Thanks, the falcons and eagles have been awesome to watch.

Starr, Very Cool post of the mystery broadcast.

Nancy, I love the armadillo!!!!!!!!! We have them in our next door neighbor state of Missouri. We see them when we go to table rock and the black river, very cool critters. Thank you too for your comments on the eagles and falcons. I sure will miss them when the nesting season is over.

Well off I run, see you all from the eagles nest tomorrow. I will update you on who is still in the nest and who is flying high.

Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Dear Friends



Wishing You a Wonderful Day !

Dad Flicker says good morning Nestmates and also to you Mr. Armadillo in Nancy's garage .....hows you doing


Hope your having a nice trip and vacation Jean yes I was watching the world news and saw the wild fires its so devesating just like the floods here in B.C.

Scott we got the same cells here late afternoon but it was only a thundeer storm that blew through...I'm so concerned about my brother he has a home in Aldergrove and I had to call him yesterday to make sure they were not under water....he made a joke about his boat being parked outside and ready but I didn't think that was very funny I was concerned but so far so good

Red Bull Linda no wonder your so frisky

I need something more defined Lori so I can pick out the appropriate music

Got a few bites yesterday....mostly groups

and Emoyeni and bobble say good day and I say I have enough with documenting this nest and Lafarge when it's on lately its been off more than on the Lafarge Lets will branch and fledge and we won't be able to see it drats to Lafarge cam anyway .....so Ofsprey is out of the question even though I do peek

Off with the dogs on finally another sunny day

Good Morning Scott, Linda, Laurie, Judy & all Nestles.

Thanks to all who commented on my time away in Denver with G-son Terry.

It's so relaxing here & all is going well. Now...if those fires will just stay away.

Read a news article yesterday...a fire is burning in Estes Park at this time...about an hours drive (West?) from Denver.

That's the National Park area where we spent the day back in October when daughter Gina & I were here.

So many homes, ranches, & tourist businesses in the foothills there, as well as the mountain area itself...many burning now.

The Park Rangers believe all these fires are being set by arsonist(s)...makes it all that much sadder.

Pray he/she/they are caught soon & locked away for a long, long time.

Have a blessed Sunday & enjoy your day.

quick hello, wishing all a great day and weather. chores to do before back to work but wanted to stop by first.

Sue, Nancy, Starr and VInny, Candy

Gord, glad Isis is so much better, that is wonderful.

Scott, love the pic of Harry, looks like a big ole cute teddy bear. and very glad all is ok in your area.

Nancy, is very hard not to peek! today saw dad bring huge nice fish, mom fed with back to me today, guess she didn't like my comments yesterday about her not feeding the littlest! didn't see the chicks til she flew off for a break. cute armadillo.

Jean, glad it was easy for you with the java. praying for that sick person to be caught and for all the fires to be put out, been going on for a few weeks now, just horrible for all those who lost homes, and the people having to go through all that. glad you are having a relaxing time though.

Linda, loved the pics at your thread last night, just beautiful. will be looking forward to Mondays eaglets. love that little goldfinch.

time to get ready for work

few scaps from this morning

dad in with nice big fish



after feeding mom takes a quick break



mom back and brooding and dad had come to take rest of fish away, now back with it to eat on the nest, then left with it again. was rather shocked but guess that is for safety reasons, can't imagine a mom eagle putting up with that! interesting to learn so much about different rapture behaviors though.
