I have trouble with them sometimes too...

Thanks Ei, sometimes the pics just spin and spin then time out! 

My trick is...right click on the pic & copy image location. Paste the location into address bar and delete the sizing info after the .jpg...in red below...that brings up the full size photo reasonably quickly

   See ya soon Beautyful! 

Hello Ladies!! LOL, that was fun, again!! 

Yes I dooo like to talk to the animals! lol

On day 19 in Paradise I awoke to bright sunshine again but a cold front had moved in during the night so I had to wear a sweatshirt when I left the house. I'm afraid our warm 70 degree days are over but highs in the low 50's today and low 60's the rest of the weekend are certainly better than the snow that's predicted for Rochester!   I took Dove Rd. on my way to McD's today and my favorite horse trotted over to the fence to greet me! It seems everyone in Arkansas has dogs and on the dirt roads people always wave as you pass them in their vehicles. Brings back memories from when I owned jeeps-fellow jeep owners always waved! I continue my ranch ride in todays video as we round the corner to a wooded area and make our way back to the end of the driveway!

   A most excellent video! Mark is a great spokesman for our beloved Peregrine Falcons and I have learned a lot from him with each encounter with him. Thanks Donna and Kris! 

Wow that was extra cool! There's an annual kite flying event at Keuka Springs Winery which I have been to a few times. My brother goes camping near there and we get together for the kite show and then go back to his campsite in Sampson State Park for a meal and a campfire. It amazes me how these professional kite flyers can control them. Thanks Donna!   

I choose to believe little boy Blue 44 is just fine and his transmitter is malfunctioning. 

    This is very      

Happy Thanksgiving to all my falcon friends around the world!    Day 18 in Paradise will be spent with family. My sis and I got our feast together and we're just waiting for Tom Turkey to cook now. I'm so thankful to be spending this holiday with my Arkansas family and everything I have seen since I arrived here on the ranch. I'm especially thankful that I took a bunch of videos that I could share with y'all BEFORE my camera went down for the count. lol  Todays video is of the 4 legged family members as I have nothing else family to share!

                    HAPPY THANKSGIVING!                                           

I'm thankful for my family,friends and nature! I wouldn't want to be without any of you!!! 

                                             

                                   Now let's eat!         

 

Love the Bobbin!   

Great job Patti! I can appreciate how much time it took to put this together and I thank you for sharing! 

Day 18 in Paradise started with a 30 minute territorial display by 2 female Red-headed Woodpeckers in the backyard trees. They chased each other from one tree to the other engaging in a spinning,twirling downward spiral as they faced each other. Couldn't tell if their talons were locked like Peregrines do but it was still quite a display to witness! While on my favorite dirt road (Dove Rd.) I watched 2 hawks and a pair of Kestrels hunting in the same field! The small falcons being more successful than the hawks. And in a closer field I witnessed about 50 Meadowlarks making their way thru the grasses. Just an FYI(especially for Patty Gale) there are about 300 bulls,150 calves and 1200 heifers on the 3000 acre ranch. I continue down the ranch road with the videos I took before my camera bit the dust. I hope y'all are enjoying the ride!
