I’ll go check them out! I always miss them because of the time difference, except for running the video back.
SWFL has two little bobbleheads. They were hatched less than 24 hours apart. This will be interesting to see who dominates in this pair! LOL!
After I check ‘em out, I guess I’ll head out. Go see if Peaches wants back in so he can purr me to sleep.

I usually wait til around 1:00 to check because with them being 8 hours ahead of us, it’s good and light by then. Then I run the video back to see if they’ve been there if they aren’t on the nest in the present. They come and go, getting more nesting materials.
Since you wake up in the morning, you should check the cam then.
I saw a video of both the lil fuzzballs at SWFL. I can’t watch them ‘live’ because it says I have to turn off my ad blocker. Can’t do it because I have no way to do it.
I hope Peaches shows up at the door or you’ll fret so much, you won’t be able to sleep well.

THIS is too cute not to share.
I've never seen parents hand off food for feeding the bobbleheads!

That’s the video I saw earlier tonight.
First time I’d seen eagle parents do that too ...... one bites off the pieces and gives them to the other parent to feed the babies. That was just too sweet.
Harriet and M15 work VERY well together, no doubt about it.

Well, we did walk out at the Wichita Ridge Park yesterday. Bo seemed to enjoy it more than I did. He really likes this cold weather.
Our neighboring city to the South, Waurika is going to have their power cut off later today. PSO (Public Service of Oklahoma) is going to work on the city's transmission lines. The outage is slated to start around 12:30 PM and last for four to six hours.
This planned outage was scheduled for back in October but was postponed due to clean up work from storms at the time. A number of businesses have posted on FB that they will either close at the time oof the outage or be closed all day.
