lol Donna!  I've been watching the snow covered nest ledge at the Sheraton, hoping for a glimpse of Rhea Mae or Tiago.   wave

Rochester woke up to a lot of snow this morning with more to come.  I barely got out of my driveway and was more than happy to follow three plows going 17 mph down Mt Read Blvd.  Be safe and warm everyone!

The Tail of Mariah and Sponge Bob

There were a few of us watchers out on the pedestrian bridge that crosses the Genesee River Gorge.  I know Lisa McK was with me, not sure who else was there.  Mariah was up on top of the Kodak Tower watching over eggs? or eyasses?  I really can't remember.  (Getting old!  hahaha!)

We were watching Mariah and she was watching over her territory.  That's when an intruder floated in on the winds.  At first, we didn't see the threat, but Mariah did.  She started first with a loud, warning kak kak kak!  Intruder alert!  We looked around, but still could not see what had her so upset.

Mariah launched herself from the tower and sped towards the gorge.  We looked up to see where the Red-tail Hawk or maybe a Turkey Vulture or Eagle might be.  Mariah gained speed!  Faster and faster!  She stooped when she reached the gorge side of the BeeBee Station!  Almost faster than the eye could follow!  She lowered her talons, reaching for the intruder. 

We were frantically trying to see what her target was!  What could have her so upset! 

Then we saw it!  Mariah screeched to a halt just before she would have grabbed a Sponge Bob Mylar balloon that was floating lazily in front of the BeeBee Station.  I swear that she looked around, hoping that no one had seen her attack on Sponge Bob, and then headed back to her tower to continue guarding her territory from ALL intruders.

That, my friends, is the tail of Mariah and Sponge Bob.  and no, I did not make this up!   laugh

A nice coating of fresh snow on the nest box this morning.  We received about 2-3 inches overnight.

The mind boggles...

Not two names you would ever expect to see in one sentence.   confused
