THANK you Kris.  We had to leave shortly after my last post and I finally got to check back here.    I did think a bat was a good idea.............

Got a side view?   

Vulture of some sort?

  What are those curled up things? Long toes?

Some kind of bat?

But how does he light them all or if they're real candles?  I hope he uses flameless type lighting.  Sure looks neat though.

Neat!   I had a bunch of Blue Jays all summer and some youngsters, same with the cardinals, but I just started hearing a Red Belly the other day and finally saw it yesterday.

I've always had house finches and they don't look like mine, would have to go with purple finch too.  Congratulations! 

Sorry you're missed Ocracoke this weekend, but congrats on the work project.  Great article!

Hey you guys, a huge thank you!!!!  The on-line voting determined the top eight dogs to be voted on at the doings at the Lions.  At that point the dogs that got the top three amounts in $ for votes won.  Billy Bob came in first on-line AND at the function!!  We appreciate you helping out on this, it was fun!

Thanx all, we have today and tomorrow.  You guys rock! 

Thanx guys.  This contest people only get to vote one time.  We appreciate it!

[through October 4, 2012, which means today through Thursday]

HEY GANG!!

I forgot, don't ask me how, that Billy Bob is in a photo contest to benefit the Lions.  A person can only vote once on-line and it's free, the rest of the votes will be at a Lions function and at the function they pay to vote.  The on-line voting period: September 27th through October 4, 2012, which means today through Thursday.  He could use all the help he can get being I announced it late (dumb me) and it's only one vote per person.  It's NOT on FaceBook and you don't need to give anything info, just a click by Billy Bob's name one time.  We thank you many times over!

Remember ONE vote ONE time!!

I didn't have a chance to post these the other day, but these will give you an idea of how the nest disintegrated.  Thankfully it lasted until fledge.  Every so often we could hear sticks falling when the kids were running around on the nest.  The tree it's in is VERY dead and rotten.

A very belated happy birthday John Carlos!!  I hope you have a good year and things are going ok for you guys since the fire.
