the falcons have ugly nest
it looks like a cat's litter box
but westy said scientists did big help to falcons
it is not beautiful like twig nest high up in tree
which eagles have

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, city birds need a city-type nest I guess :~D

[palo verde]

falcon with her red eggs in nest (she has four now)

[palo verde]

rofl yes, she has square nest, utilitarian looking

[palo verde]

she is sitting on her eggs (falcon)

[palo verde]

it is pretty

[andysandmikesmom]

Just a drive by posting for now....got to see HairOfTheDogs, doggies by the ocean...lovely, lovely dogs...I always love the senior citizen dogs...when they make it that far in life, it just seems so wonderful to me...

Well, gosh wasnt that rain last night something else...it just poured and poured, and I never thought it would stop...yet this morning, is sunny, and I can actually see some blue sky....but knowing how weather around this area can be, who knows how long the nice weather will last...

Glad to hear that Lulu and Happy are Ok, tho poor Happy is missing his Bill...glad that Miss Lulu is taking care of him, being by his side and reassuring him...I bet Happy will go nuts when Bill comes home again...

And I bet Bill is having the time of his life doing his cave exploring...

Well, I better go now, and get to the store...see you all later...

By the Way...

I have started an album to keep some of the good Eagle Cam shots in, that you can check in on from time to time if you are interested... I am adding new ones as I see good poses to capture.

Eagle Pics

Here is the link to the live Eagle Cam again

Here is one of the shots... though I suspect it will not last long, because Webshots is that way... One is just settling in on the nest, and the mate is on a nearby branch.

[palo verde]

thanks hairofthedog
my favorite is when one settles in on nest, and other is on branch
they seem like family to me and make cozy place for themselves way high up in air
love, Palo

[andysandmikesmom]

How cool...I checked out your album, and you surely have some great pics of our eagles...I somehow feel as if they are our eagles, as we are taking a special interest in them...

I have downloaded your pics to have for my very own

Its going to be so exciting once the babies are hatched, and we get to watch the parents feeding them, and we get to see the babies progress and get to see them grow up and begin to fly...

This is also a great teaching tool for kids, if anyone still has little ones around...lets the kids view the eagles in the wild, being good moms and dads to their babies..

[HairOfTheDog]

They are not looking very cozy at the moment... It is pouring rain and windy out. [she] looks a little wet, cold and dissatisfied right now, waiting for [him] to come back home.

Windy as it is... I hope that nest of theirs is fastened down good. I worry about them up in that tree when it is blowing like this!

[HairOfTheDog]

You can keep checking that link... I will put more good shots there as I get them.

[palo verde]

rofl she doesn't look happy
her head is still wet
I don't think it ever dried off
your link is better than mine, it took me right to eagle in nest (thanks!)
andysmom told us eagles' nests can weigh a ton, so I'm guessin' they don't get knocked over easily
eagles return evey year to same nest, and build add-ons
Love, Palo

[palo verde]

yes she is certainly turning 'round looking for him constantly
she wants him home
less it's the reverse, he wants her home now!

[andysandmikesmom]

Well, I have safely returned from my journey to the grocery store...of course, I bought four geraniums, for the garden, and six little dolls...they are so cute, and will look great standing on the desk...I bought two of these little dollies at Safeway last week, so now I have 8 of them altogether...they are just cheap little dollies from Safeway, but they are very cute, and will look great standing up on the desk...they are all in springtimey outfits, so they are just right for the season...I also bought three bottles of wine on sale...good grief, go to the grocery store and come home with plants, dolls, and wine...Oh, yes, I also did buy some food, what we needed for the week

As, I said before, I dont care how much a dolly might cost, cheap or expensive, if I like it, I buy it...these just happened to be some cute little cheapy dollies to decorate my computer room with....

When the hubby was out yesterday, he was getting some repair done on one of the cars, and he had some time to kill, so he went shopping...He went to one of our favorite stores, which we call the bird store...they have all kinds of foods and such for wild birds and critters...but they also have so much more...bird houses, t shirts, Christmas ornaments, and lots of collectibles...we always enjoy going there, especially around Christmas....

They also have one of our favorite collectibles, called Harmony Kingdom, and one of their lines is different animals...I have several of their pieces and just love them

So the hubby stopped in yesterday to see what they had...and when he came home he was all excited...he had a special bag for me, with two Harmony Kingdom pieces in them...one was a piggy, sitting up on its haunches, and looking ever so cute...and the other one was a chubby basset...oh they are both so cute, and are sitting atop my computer right now...

That basset is called 'Nell' and so is just toooo cute...she is so detailed, ,and has her fat wrinkly stumpy paws, and the long silky ears, and the long snout, and even that characteristic point on the top of her head...and if you look real close, you will see she is hiding a little tiny mousie under her right ear...all you can see is the mouses little head sticking out...how cute

My hubby is a good guy...

[HairOfTheDog]

Whichever one this sitter is... I see impatience in its eyes ... lol.

But I am a pilot, so I know that it is also risky to land in this kind of wind, so I hope they are both careful out there today. And if he when hunting downwind today, he may be bucking quite a headwind getting home... We are having gusts to 40.

[andysandmikesmom]

I have saved the link to your photos, so will be checking back from time to time...you sure posted some great shots...we are having such fun, with 'our' eagles...

[palo verde]

oooh andysmom what a heavenly post
I am so charmed you go to supermarket (which you hate) but come home with lovely geraniums and dollies (which you love)
your hubby is sweetheart to get you such nice gifts
he outdid himself with cute basset and piggy
beforeI threw everything in bathtub so rugman could work, I had a wonderful badger fetish on my desk which I loved
I have no idea where it is now?
Love, Palo

[andysandmikesmom]

Isnt our weather crappy again today....windy, and rainy...last nite I thought the house was going to blow away...I could hear the wind whistling down the chimney...what a mess...

[andysandmikesmom]

My hubby is so funny...hes scared to death of the computer, but he keeps buying me little things to put on the computer...I also have a little stuffed basset, stuffed bear, and stuffed pig on the computer...he sees these little things, and thinks they are cute and I guess he just buys them so I can decorate my computer...

Last year, the hubby was all in a rush for us to go to Point Defiance Park, in Tacoma to visit the zoo...because he wanted to see the Komodo Dragon, which was on loan there...we went and saw that big monstrous lizard, he was very active while we were there and was crawling around and flicking his nasty big infectious tongue in and out...

The hubby loves all reptiles...so he bought a nice rubber Komodo Dragon for me at the zoo souvenir shop(Well, actually I think he bought it for himself)...but he has it placed on my computer monitor, overseeing the screen...Yucky guy, but I keep him there, because after all, the hubby likes to see him up there...
