Good morning from SoCal!

It's ironic that last night before bed, as I always do, I checked out any new posts to this forum. I had the same thought...that very few people were posting this season, including me! I'm really not sure what my reasoning is but the explanations that Rainna and Mary F. provided make perfect sense. I am one of those regular viewers who tunes in a few times a day amidst my very time consuming job and life. Whatever is posted is of so much interest to me and continues to bring me closer to this eagle family, both the eagles and the humans who are devoted to this experience. I can't imagine not having this in my life at this point due to the experience and immense joy (albeit, sad at times) it has brought to me.

So. having said that, I have to believe that this forum has an increasingly large number of viewers due to the ever-growing popularity that both David Hancock and SWFEC have brought to the public about wildlife and eagles in general, and, in my biased opinion, Harriet and M15 in particular. :) It's my hope that the forum and viewers continue to grow and will be available to us forever. As I did last year, I intend to donate to both Hancock Wildlife and SWFEC to play my part in helping to keep this going. Thank you to all of you who contribute to this wonderful experience.

Judy (jsheptwo on chatroll)


P.S. My first time to post this season so hopefully I'm doing this correctly!
---------------------------------

Thank you Mary and jsheptwo for your kindness and thoughts on this topic. I agree with all that has been said by you and others.
Judy, there is no wrong way to post on here, (with in the forum rules), we certainly enjoy all who post about this beautiful Eagle Family!
As eaglets come and go in each season here, our hearts follow them, it's hard to say good bye to the past precious one's and that is what all those beautiful memories are for, not just for E9 but for the one's before E9, and especially for so many who have traveled with Harriet through the years that included Ozzie!
This is an emotional experience for us all and so wonderful to find many who share the same connection each one of us have.
Thanks for posting for the first time, it's great to share with you!

Rainna

Journi, I so enjoyed the Turtle Episode, page 73 from Sat. 1:57 p.m.
Great fun to see those 2!
:D
-----------------------------------

Sunnybird, I had never ever heard of a soft shell turtle until I started watching Harriet and M15's first season together with those two comedians E7 and E8!
In my minds eye it would be a day filled with tom-foolery if E10 and E11 got together with E7 & E8!

Hello Philjo and other eagle friends. I apologize for not posting. I think it’s because I don’t think I have much to add. I try to speak up in chat but I’m a quiet person and even that can sometimes be difficult. Even if we don’t speak, please know that we are out here, checking in and reading and appreciating your contributions. Pascale, I don’t know if you posted here and I missed it, but I haven’t seen you around chat lately and would really like to hear about your trip to the nest. I wish I could have met you there and hope you found someone to hang out with a bit. I hope it wasn’t terribly exhausting and that you got to see the family often and maybe even felt the wind from beneath their wings.

:rh: to all. :bye 1:

Hello Trusteagles! Good to meet you! The main reason for this forum is to Enjoy the eagles!
Have a good day fellow eagle fan! ~Journi
:grhug:

-------------------------------

Hello trust! It's good to see you here today! You do very well on chat---we have had many good exchanges! Keep up the good work! :love: MaryF

Oh my, you saw me, lol. Thanks Journi and Mary. I’ll try to do better. :)

then nudges at the "log" for a moment...

4:21pm - After looking around the nest, E11 decides to lay down in her nest...
her nest now full of bones and pine cones and...
the sticks that once were placed around the nest to help protect her...

A huge hello to all those folks who are new to us on this forum, but most certainly not new to the Pritchett Pines and the adventures of this seasons E10 and 11, and all the antics they provide us with. Not to forget the past seasons by any means, we all carry those in our hearts forever more.

Nice to hear from you all !
Happy Earth Day :)

Good evening everyone. I visited the nest this morning.

4 Food Deliveries By M - The E's Are Ready ~ M Warns As 2 Coyotes Pass Through 04-22-18

M15 made four food deliveries to the ground in an hour's time and the E's were ready showing off their great mantling and flight with the food techniques. M15 alerted and warned as two coyotes walked through the nest tree pasture and pond on their way to a back pasture.
