reminds me of Orion, he loved that corner!

Yes, Orion and Orville in that corner!  And I wonder if anyone will take up residence in Baron's boy cave this year. 

I noticed in the slideshow that one of the Cleveland eyases has blue feet.

Mercury was constructed at the Siddons Galvanized Iron Works at 84 East Main Street in Rochester.  Click http://www.libraryweb.org/rochimag/architecture/LostRochester/Kimball/Kimball.htm for old and new pictures of the statue.  Not sure if the surgery was done before the statue went from the Iron Works to its first home at the Kimball Tobacco Factory or before it went to its second home on the Aqueduct Building. 

Hmmmm...not a great choice for me, as I will be heading out of town for a family reunion that weekend.  I may be able to stop by for an early breakfast and to say hello on Saturday, though.  Bummer!

Great picture!  The Kimball Tobacco Factory stood where the Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial stands now. 

Daddy loves his babies.

 

Another banded bird for breakfast?!

Oh CARP again!

 Have a great birthday, Kathy! 

Mucho stupido!   

Thanks for the update, Donna.  Sometimes nature can be very cruel.  I hope the eyas does well and that the other egg hatches.  And that they can keep the bug population down this year!   

Aww, how precious!  Thanks, Carly.

Funny..the commentary on the livestream about Dot having trouble corralling them...

First thing I do when I get home is run through the day in the Quick-N-Dirty 30 to record shift changes & feedings through the day. These are 2 panes from today. You don't even have to zoom in to the full photo to tell when Dot takes over babysitting and when Beauty gets back LOL!

Poor Dot! He does try, but he needs to be just a bit bigger.  And no parent (human or bird)  "babysits" his or her own kids. 

There's one in every family that just has to do it his or her own way!
