Road Trip: United States Army Research Detroit Arsenal, Michigan

Weather is tricky there,been in blizzards in late Aug
survived and loved it

[luvie]

Oh, I'm so glad you found it! You won't be disappointed! Here are the links for a couple more. The northern ones are just now nestorating the nest and will lay eggs in February, about the time we're having withdrawals from fuzzy bobbleheads! LOL! The one in NEFL are about 2 weeks older than E9.

Decorah, Iowa, Nest
NEFL Nest...NE16 and NE17 Scroll down to the 3 cams.

As radu said, between the two of us, we can give you so many links you'll NEVER get any work done at home [or at work!]! LOL!

[luvie]

Yeah...we visited him in Cheyenne in May and it started snowing. I was surprised. He just thought we were funny. :)

Bizzard aug 27 ☺

[luvie]

Brrr! Were you up there visiting someone?

[radu]

As radu said, between the two of us, we can give you so many links you'll NEVER get any work done at home [or at work!]! LOL!

And that's not counting the owl and stork nests! Not only would get no work done, you wouldn't sleep. LOL

Just got home...almost froze to death trying to sweep snow off my car. The flag was standing straight out. Gave up and just sat in my car while it warmed up at least a little. 8-10 inches of new snow on the deck. Shoveled half and I’m in trying to get warm.

The plow guy has been here, so my driveway is good. I do need to shovel off the stairs to the porch.

[luvie]

No joke! LOL!

[radu]

BRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! Sounds like a gallon of hot choklit is in order! LOL

You did get a lot of snow. More than I thought from looking at the cams. Good blanket for the pipes.

[radu]

LOL! And now you don’t work so you can watch all you want! YAY!

[luvie]

Yep...and pretty much do! I have to shut down completely if I’m to get anything accomplished that even resembles work! :)

[radu]

Same here. Not so much now since there’s no any activity at the eagle nests at night. But once there are owl babies and storks to watch during the night time, fuggedaboudit. :-)

[luvie]

I love watching the antics of owls! Wish they’d hurry and come back!
