And I thought my morning was busy!     Great catches, MAK - love the different view of things with all the water.  It does go down and the new dirt brings new nutrients for the soil.  My morning pictures might get posted later.  Maybe    Did a complete walk-around of the property and all things considered, we are in very good shape (there was a much water rushing around the north side of the house where there was no construction as there was on the south (pool) side).  Did some cleanup, raking, and more planting.  Need to get some dirt.  Basement is completely dry and there were ponds and rivers outside that door. 

   Glad to hear you came out of it in good shape Janet.

I'm confused-- has Archer been seen?

I haven't seen him since Thursday Jeanne.

   Thanks for posting these for me Donna. You're the best!

MAK, was this Archer?

Yes Donna, if I remember correctly Beauty was on Mercury at the same time. That's why I said it's all good cuz I had seen them both.

  I hope he didn't go YET!

 I'm sorry but I think he has. Maybe I'll see him in the morning. 

LOVE the Facebook page - seeing photos of Callidora & Jemison warms my heart. Thank you so much !

Yeah, what she said!

Bobbie you've been there!?!  I'm so totally jealous mate!

No, Mate - I ain't! But isn't it a glory?

It truly is Bobbie!

That's unbelievable!!!

[That's OK, I thought a Pine Marten was a bird til I googled it!!]

I never heard of a pine martin. I thought it was a badger or wolverine.

well it sounds like a bird...purple martin, pine marten

Purple Martin

Pine Marten...what the??

What an adorable face on this little one. Thanks Donna!

Kudos to these guys! It's nice to hear feel good stories involving humans for a change. Thanks Jeanne!

That's correct Kris. The KP falcon hasn't been seen in approximately a week. Archer hasn't been seen since Monday or Tuesday I believe. We were discussing it today and feel that they have left the area. 

Sad to say, but I thought so. You did report though that you saw Archer on the Jail CT on Thursday the 30th at 7:40 AM but no sightings were reported after that.   

Sorry 'bout that Kris I thought it was 2 or 3 days. I don't know why I said Monday or Tuesday. Long day I guess.

Awwwwwww, Maaaaaaaan!

Will I ever see one??

   Bobbie, don't they have any in Ireland? You should come home for the muck race at Montezuma and then you could see the Sandhill cranes.  I must say now that I've seen them they are one of my favorites!

Nope, not here, MAK. I sure hope they will appear to me when I am home at the end of October. And I tell ya, when they do, they will count as Mega-Lifers!!

Oh yeah - When's the Muck Race? (I can do muck... in fact, I do it almost every day around here... and that's just inside.)

Not sure when the next muck race is but maybe Suzanne could answer that. She could probably tell us if the cranes might still be out at Montezuma still when you come home. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you in hopes that you get to see them.
