They'd be good on a trampoline!       

EXACTLY MAK!

Not sure if this is Beauty leaving or Archer arriving! 
Archer for sure

You gotta check out this video of the Owls. They are learning how to fly and look how they try. Clever and funny at the same time.

Beauty: Poser: Master of disguise. See the white feather? Uh huh, were on to you.

   I just voted about 20 times for the cause.   

I did that this am... bguitar   Good going MAK

Beauty came back at 2:41

I'll say this wind is wicked. It took out my 10x20 ft. carport yesterday!  I wanna know how the birds fly in wind like that. We had gusts to 60mph. When I got up at 6:00 this morning there was a coat of snow on the ground and flurries in the air. Yuck!!! So much for any picnics today. /quote]

WOW...sorry MAK. The wind is still whipping here. I wonder how many nests were affected by this horrible weather/wind/snow/rain. Poor birds. 

How tragic.  There were 3 babies in the nest - no mention as to where they could be or if they survived.  Nature can be beautiful and cruel at the same time.

Is that nest one of PM's kids from a few years back? How awful....poor babies and sad for mom and dad. This wind is wicked!

I have 2 pairs of these birds in my backyard. They come every spring and fall and stay a few weeks and then move on.   

NICE! 

Archer wants back in again 12:37

he just had brunch @ the Pigeon Pub and sent his better half to the "BEAUTY" parlor...  

Out N about on a Sunday walk

I'm sure a lot of mothers will be able to identify with this humorous video.

Amen    Thanks

We've had some white-crowned sparrows in our backyard this weekend. Handsome little birds with the sweetest song...  They must be passing through as I rarely see them here in central Illinois.
