Thanks! 

Beautiful videos of the birds and cattle.Wow!! What a collection.I have been enjoying.

Hope all is going well,will also raise your friends in receiving good news and of course your sister as well.

Thanks again for the great views.  What's Ruby been up to lately?   

Hey Diane! Ruby hurt one of her back legs this past week so she has been on bed rest-plus my niece has been sick too so we haven't seen them since camping last weekend.

These birds know what they're doing even if we don't. We must take the bad with the good and keep learning. Sometimes we are too quick to judge what is happening before our eyes. I believe we shouldn't second guess nature as it does things differently than we do. 

Wow, great pictures and videos!  I don't know how to identify most of the ones you mentioned. What guide would you recommend for an absolute beginner with poor eyesight like me?

I've been OK, thanks. Molly goes in for surgery Tues, and I'm so worried. She has a lump on her leg in the same spot she had cancer. And also a new lump on her flank.

Oh dear Nora-I will pray for you and Molly! I use Cornell's website online for identifying birds. Try this link- http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/birding123

WOW !!  All the different birds !  Your own personal color wheel of birds.   

I know-pretty cool eh!? 

Hi y'all!
   It's been busy and colorful at the feeders lately. I have 6 Rose-breasted Grosbeaks visiting as are many, many American Goldfinches,Cardinals,Purple finches, Blue birds,Chickadees, Tufted Titmouse, Mourning Doves, White-breasted Nuthatches, Red-bellied Woodpeckers and Downy Woodpeckers.
    While out in my sisters' Jeep with Deziree, her female boxer I have seen frisky heifers and bulls, a singing Meadowlark who was joined by a starling-they were briefly joined by a Scissor-tail Flycatcher. Cool!! I spent some time watching 6 Egyptian Geese that were hanging out in the back bull pasture. Came upon a good looking rooster in someones yard, a Green Heron hiding in a tree, some goats and deer.
   While watching a hockey game last night I spotted a frog that was walking up the sliding glass door after a moth. It was the darnedest thing I've seen in a while! I also saw a couple Red-tail Hawks but they flew off (as they usually do) before I could snap a shot of them.I got some good pics and snippet videos of the action-hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much Nora! Been wondering how you are doing since I hadn't heard from you in quite a while. I hope you are well!! 

 

 

Well,as usual MAK,you have captured some great moments of the landscape and of the dogs. That dog and his moving car are precious and can't believe he just sits and rides around.I am glad you are having these great moments with your sister and family.You are a "Lucky Dog"   

Hi Diane! That dog is Ruby-she has bad feet from her prior life. My niece rescued her and she is treated like a princess.

Raptor biologist Janie Veltkamp met Beauty in 2007. Beauty is a 14-year-old bald eagle, and back then the bird was struggling to survive. She had been illegally shot in the wild, and lost her upper beak from the trauma. Without her upper beak – which is vital to eating – she wasn’t expected to live very long.

  Love her name!!

And what a Beautyful beak it is!

Hi Morgan, you're a pretty girl!
