first I want to


then I want to 

enlarge the picture of Rhea Mae feeding her little ones.

She is looking at the camera,  she knows you are there Linda,

Strange, its Archer of the white wing feather. right? 

 Happy Birthday, Donna in MS!
       

guess you don't want to hear about the little baby garter snake I came across while mowing last week...

It was soooo cute and tiny. Poor thing was so scared. I went and mowed somewhere else.

When I look at Archer, I immediately think of his grandparents.  That helps but my heart will always be with Mariah and Kaver.

yep me too

I don't know how they're going to make it if the pigeon won't let the male in.  She's going to have to eat and the pigeon probably won't let her back in.  Very sad situation.  

I vote for her to just eat the pigeon. 

I wondered about that egg, because they all started out about the same color and that one turned lighter.

Depending on how far along development is I would think they might be able to tell there was something different about that egg when they turned them.

Oh Anne I am so sorry for your loss. Hugs and prayers for you. 

10 today

Poor baby 

a nuthatch maybe 

My questions are How long was the egg out there by himself? Did Beauty push it over there by accident or on purpose? I wonder about that light colored egg if its OK. Time will tell.


Archer is a good Daddy.

Beauty pushed it out on her way out - I think it probably got caught by her talon and rolled forward. Archer had it back in within a couple of minutes, so no harm done. It wasn't the light colored egg. The light one just suffers from a lack of pigment - Beauty ran out, or so it seems... Other nests have all sorts of pigment variations with no ill effects, so I believe everyone is o-kay!

Archer did good!

Thanks for the answer

It would be wonderful if she would settle down before that all happens!

I'll second that wish.
