I just love the feets! 

Archer was babysitting for over an hour!

Wonder what's up?

Never mind...I just scrolled back & I see they've both been there for quite a while...

Wonder what's up?

      

Linda Woods Reports (on the CPF site):

These images taken this morning and this afternoon.  Good time for a morning nap by the stand pipe, and since that was good this morning, it was good enough for this afternoon.  Today the oldest is 36 days of age and should be ready for it’s first flight any day.

 

She looks like she wants to brood them tonight...too big  

I think she's trying to protect them from the thunderstorm that's going through right now.

AHHH...that makes sense...she hasn't tried to brood them in a while...

[I use Mozy online backup. It stores up to 2 GB for free. I haven't used 3/4 yet as of today. Had it for a year now. I learned my lesson a few yrs ago...when my Hard Drive crashed and I lost all my MK pics, family pics...and other important stuff. Losing MK was the worst.]

Donna's laptop reminded me that there was a sale at Best Buy (strongly dislike the store, but the price was right) on a Western Digital 2TB external hard drive for $119...it's backing up my 9,500 & change pictures as I type.  Half the price I spent on a 500GB drive a few years ago that filled up last year. And I remember getting excited at my first 1.2MB floppy drive...hard drive was still a pipe dream then.

No time like the present to back up your important stuff.  Never know when the blue screen of death will come to visit.

Losing MK was the worst.  When I get my new Laptop, I just click restore and all my stuff is there and in the proper folders.  I hope!

I fill up a 1GB flash drive just bringing home the stuff I save at work every couple of weeks!  Just got an 8GB one ($19.99-1/4 what I paid for the 1GB 6 years ago)...couldn't bring home all the their baby pics at once  Between what I save here & my personal photos this hard drive might last a few years 

Welcome aboard Ian 

Fledging (first true flight) happens in the vicinity of roughly 6 weeks of age, though it can happen as early as 35 days.  The males usually fly earlier than the females-and we don't know which these guys are yet, though I personally think one male & one female

That's it?  That's dinner!
Actually this is a good, name that prey.  I have no idea.

The only one I can think of that has brown & a gray patch on top of the head is a house sparrow.

BTW-you all did notice Helga Jean standing up all the way on both feet long enough to get her picture taken.   

Did Beauty just get pooped on BAD or is it raining again?  Someone in the back has a guilty expression!

It's poop!

That's what I thought...I saw they're shooting for distance now!

Look at the feets!  Sitting pretty though.

And I think that's the one with the SMALL feet!
