Doesn't look like a very big nest but whatever works! 

 

Hey everybody!
   Got out for a nature ride the other day-saw some raptors and backyard birds. I also got a fuzzy pic of Angel, the horse I fell in love with 2 years ago when I was here visiting. Of course, I see the black Angus cattle here on the ranch everyday and Gizzy, my sister's horse, eats what little grass is growing in the yard. Yesterday while I was watching her in the backyard a flock of robins came by only to be scared out of here when a Sharp-shinned Hawk came flying in with prey. Click on the link below to see my pics. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them!

Glad to hear there may be a new mate there! 

 

SOUTHWEST FLORIDA EAGLE CAM·TUESDAY, 1 MARCH 2016
Nest mates E7 and E8 are progressing each day as young eaglets. E7 has been mastering aggressiveness and is mostly first to eat at meal delivery. E8 gains courage and learns new ways to get to the food by staying out of the way and slowly making a move when the time is right. E8 is becoming more assertive and eager grabbing a good share at mealtime. All these skills are valuable for young Eagles to learn for their survival. Their growth and lessons are in high gear as Mom and Dad provide nourishment and guidance.
E7 and E8 have natural curiosity in their near and far environment. They are picking up and moving sticks and grasses to help Mom and Dad with “nestorations�. E8 searches the nest for any leftover food morsels. They waddle to the nest edge to peer over at the outside world. Wing flapping in the breezes and standing tall for longer periods all help them grow stronger each day.
Harriet and M15’s bond grows stronger as they care for their young. They have managed to spend some time together at the pond and perched in some of their favorite place. Their view is always focused on their nest and the precious cargo it holds. M15 has grown into a strong Eagle Dad and Harriet continually demonstrates the strength she possesses as Eagle Mom. All the bonds are strengthening daily in their growth as Eagle family. Nest Notes by dadsjazz

 

Yay you can get out and about, MAK! Love to you and Mary Ellen, plus healing hugs! 

Thanks Bobbie! I haven't been out for a nature ride yet but I'll get there soon I hope. 

I really enjoyed the pictures.  I'm thinking of you and praying hard for your family.  So much positive energy being sent to your sister.

Thanks Nora! We happily accept prayers and positive energy!! 

Hello MAK, Thanks for pictures and for keeping in touch. Beautiful part of our Great Country. 

Hi Diane! Totally beautiful around here. Yesterday I was sitting in the living room watching TV and as I looked out the sliding glass door to the back yard I was looking at a horse's arse out on the back landing.  It was my sister's horse, Gizzy eating grass. 

 

 

Nice pics and LOL on the Macko!!!! 

 

 Hi y'all! Some pics taken from the front of the house and the rest of my sisters' clan. The outdoor cats-Peanut, Patches and Whiskers. Macko, the bulldog has been a guest while his parents are vacationing in California-he's a sweet boy that has bonded with me (Macko and MAK lol) and he'll be going home on Monday. Haven't really had much time to venture out to look for wildlife but I plan on going out soon. Don't know if you remember the horse I named Bertha and then found out her real name was Angel-anyway, I drove by to check if she was still around and she was but I didn't have my camera with me. She looks like she's lost some weight to me. Hoping to get out soon to check things out more-in the mean time click on the link below to see my latest Shutterfly album. See ya!
