[LazyParrot4]

Good morning everyone.
Suemac--so nice to hear from you. Glad you are enjoying beach. And, thanks for pics. If it keeps raining, it will not be long until the pond looks like your pics.
Hi Peggy. You are very quiet, slipping in and out. But sometimes I do the same and I see you.
Good morning to you too Lovinnature. Miss your pics but have one for you:

[lovinnature]

Hello peeps!

Hello Lazy, yes I miss my s'caps too.
Thanks for the three wet eagles s'cap.



Here is some more info on the planetary parade happening. In case you can't see it your self.
The planets are always in line on the orbital plane. But are never this close together that we can see the direct line. (in line refers to the planets orbit, from the closest to the Sun to the farthest from the Sun. Maybe you have heard the saying "third planet from the Sun" ? That's us ! Earth. that's because we are the third planet from the Sun.
This is the planetary order of our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and poor o'le demoted Pluto, which is not classified as a Planet anymore. and the STAR they/we orbit. That's right, the Sun is a Star. The only star in our solar system.

Jr, and Malala (eaglet and hawklet) feed still off line. Hope nothing bad has happened. You know that is where my mind goes when the cameras go down.

Have a great day you all !! Stay COOL !!
Later peeps!

GA, Eagle Fans. Been busy answering the phone when no one calls. When they do, the phone doesn't ring. My ISP is the culprit -- they ported everyone's phone to a "new & improved" server. Whatever happened to Ma Bell? How simple live was when you picked up the phone and an operator said "Number, please." Is there even such a thing as a telephone operator nowadays?

Just saw one of Happy Appy's buddies standing on the SW corner of the pond gazing in awe at the high water. Seemed as bewildered as I am with my phantom phone.

Suemac, glad you're having a nice time on HHI.

Hi Grosbeak. You with phantom calls and me with spam calls. Don't know which is worse, but sometimes I daydream about not having a phone at all.

** Mary, Thank you ! That link works well. The other said YouTube video was removed by uploader. Glad to see both are doing fine.

[lovinnature]

Hello Grosbeak. Ma Bell ! Those were the days ! Simple and free.

[LazyParrot4]

Good morning everyone.
Mary for the info on hawklet.
Who is collecting tortoise and turtle shells?--I can't remember from chat a couple of months ago.
Anyway, here is a picture for you since you can't have the real thing. Wonder what happened to it. Haven't seen in in nest for a while.

Good day, everyone. I found a minute here to rest and, as I often do, popped in to see what's happening at the garden fence. I'm glad you guys are keeping things going. I read but don't post because I am always on the run these days and sorta outa the loop. I was really happy to find the link with more video about the hawklet today. Thank you, Mary.

Back to work. Listing goes up for my house in 3 days. Still don't have all my ducks in a row and more cleanup needed. Haven't been able to find help, still trying. Spinning way too many plates for an old lady. Will check in again asap. In the meantime, happy eagling and summering to all.

*lovin, I'm also planning on a functioning lappie before next season, after the house closes. Can't wait. Surely there's a way to get your scaps back. Are they in the cloud?

[Peggy180]

Good to see you, trust! Good luck with your house. Hope you’ll find lots of good branches and be all settled by fall.

[LazyParrot4]

Good morning everyone. Some people went missing yesterday. Hope to see you today.
The pond is still lovely. Here is a picture from past.

Anhinga and Turtle

[LazyParrot4]

Just realized the above picture from day E20 flew into the wild blue yonder. Here is another view of same.

[LazyParrot4]

Early morning---CNN breaking news on internet has video of the hawklet in eagle nest. Good quality pictures.

[Peggy180]

Wow, LazyParrot, the hawklet made CNN! Pretty impressive. Thanks for the anhinga pics. I'm going to keep a low profile today (or lower than usual, LOL), have a sore neck from bending over my phone too much and I have my eye checkup later. So, have a good day!

[lovinnature]

Hello peeps!
Good Morning LazyParrot, Peggy, Sue whatever you doing today, and Trust, good to see you!

*Trust NO, did not do the cloud. Could kick myself now. And to top it off, I always had sync turned off, so picture are all secure in that tablet, and possibly no way to get them. Good luck with the house stuff !

*Peggy, I don't know how you do it on a phone ! be nice to that neck ! (been there, done that, neck pain).

and last to you *LazyParrot. I was here several times yesterday. It was very quiet. Sorry I didn't say HI to you !
Very cool about Malala (hawklet) on CNN. Will watch and hope to catch the story. Thanks for info. ( I just found story on line).

Today's observations : The nest look good. Only the Armadillo skin and a few small bones are left. The pond's water level remains very high. Makes it look like the pylons are getting shorter.
There is a very long large branch floating in pond. Looks like it has wedged itself between the pylons. Shall be interesting to see what happens to it next.
Have a great day !
Later peeps!

I found this crazy Eagle story in the news today !!

https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/pet ... 49da251d11

[LazyParrot4]

Yeah Lovin, I saw that eagle/dog story too. Was hoping no one else saw it---not good for Bald Eagle reputation---but suppose people should be made aware of dangers to very small dogs (including large hawks). Did you see the story about Bald eagle trying to take someone's pet goose? Goose ran to door and banged on it, all the while yelling. Lady ran out and gave chase while still nursing small baby and eagle dropped goose. (Looked like difficult take-off because goose was quite large).

[lovinnature]

Hello LazyParrot, No did not see the goose vs eagle story ! Wow unbelievable !
I always heard an eagle would not try to snatch a live dog, that's what surprised me. And it was caught on video.
Eagles are suppose to be only able to carry about 3 to 4 pounds. (depending on the weight of the eagle. Eagles can carry 1/3 of their body weight). So I guess the pup would be close to that ? Glad it survived !!
I'm encouraged Harriet and M would never do that ! They have a pretty good food source/sources where they live.

[lovinnature]

It appears at 12:36:56 pm. ALL cameras are down ! I get the dreaded spinning wheels on all.
Oh No !! Say it isn't the so (The end of viewing) !
Is it just me ?? !!

[LazyParrot4]

Lovin---did not see anyone around cameras. Maybe an electrical blip. Anyway, there is some activity in Atlantic off Africa. Probably good to get cameras down and keep them same for season 11.

To anyone interested:
Here is link to goose episode. It's a you tube video, the title of which is "Breast-feeding mom saves pet goose from bald eagle attack".

[Grosbeak]

Here is link to goose episode.

Hmmm... Didn't realize there were any geese left in Canada. Thought they'd all moved down here years ago. Reckon maybe that one was a souvenir.

Wonder if that Yorkie still ventures outdoors.



(Lovin, thanks for answering my Cams question before I'd even asked.)

[Kitcat11848]

The eagle/hawklet story just aired on our local Baton Rouge, Louisiana 5:00pm news. Wow! That story has travelled all over.

[LazyParrot4]

Good Morning Everybody.
It's so hot here. Think E20 had the right idea.

[lovinnature]

Hello peeps! Happy Friday !
well my cameras all say "no live steam. " So this may be the end.
Pritchett family for the opportunity and blessing, you have given us to watch Harriet and M15 each season.

I look at it this way now. We are one day closer to season 11 ! (but I can't say I'm not already missing the cameras).

It's possible Wings (Vicki) will visit the nest area soon. She said about 10 days. Today is the 10th day ! but whose counting
Then maybe we will get more info on the cameras. and it won't hurt too much to hear the calm reassuring voice either

Re: Jr. and Malala. (hawklet and eaglet). I tuned in this morning and Malala has branched ! Looks like they even spent the night out on the branch in front of nest. Was all tucked and snoozing on the branch, early this morning. Congrates little one !!!
Do we know how old Jr. (eaglet) is ?

[LazyParrot4]

Hi Lovin. Good to see you today.
I have a picture of E20's young hawk friend and would like to know if it is a Red Tailed Hawk. Thanks.
Hello to anyone else who happens to be trolling and not talking.

[lovinnature]

Hello LazyParrot4, looks like the red tail hawks in my part of town ?, but I believe Andocat would have a better call on an official ID.
I have heard Vicki in her videos say there is the red tail hawk. So it probably is. But if I'm wrong don't hold it against me
Thanks again for your s'caps.
Stay Cool !
Have a great one peeps !

BB tonight

Hi Lovin. Good to see you today.

Hello to anyone else who happens to be trolling and not talking.

Hello to you, too, LazyParrot4, and all who are hanging around. All the eagles in all the other nests I'm watching are getting so big. But I'm glad that even the oldest fledglings (and their parents) are still showing up in the nests (e.g., Duke Farms). And I tear up whenever I watch or think about the eagle/hawk nest lately; I'm awed that the eagles "took in" (instead of ate) and are raising and sharing a nest with what is supposed to be their mortal enemy. I like to think it's an example of choosing a hopeful path.

[LazyParrot4]

Good Morning. Does everyone remember this?:

[Peggy180]

LazyParrot. What a moment! Good morning and have a great day. Maybe a on the head would keep us cool

[Sunnybird1995]

Hello everybirdy!
It is great to see everyone's posts & comments.
Thanks for the memory LazyParrot!
