Tracking MAK

[MAK]

MAK, I notice you refer to your favorite red bird and his mate as Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal. I remember in school we learned to use honorifics for various and sundry personages, and that a Cardinal was to be addressed as "Your Eminence."  Well, in my yard I often see His Eminence, but how to refer to a female Cardinal (of which the Church has none)? Her Eminence, of course!

Let me add my praise for your pictures -- they are really wonderful.

Mary, it's too bad the church doesn't allow women to be Cardinals. That being said, I like your idea! Thanks for your interesting comment!!

WOWSERS...after looking at your pics and videos, I've got chills! Those are some tough creatures, all right. It's interesting that the ducks and geese must feel safer sleeping On Frozen Pond? Beautiful hawks. Guess I'll go have something to warm me up, now. Thanks for the tour, MAK!

You're welcome as always Barb! I was thinking that maybe the ducks and geese were on the ice as a means to thaw it-just a thought! It's 2 degrees here right now-hard to believe when you consider we're only one state away from the Gulf of Mexico!!

Time for another adventure today!!!   

[MAK]

   Warmer temperatures in the 30's were the main story on day 17 in Paradise to start the thaw on the area roads. I had the pick up truck today and almost got stuck 3 times but managed to get out even though it has no 4 wheel drive. Made it to the feed and seed to get more bird food after the blackbirds and cowbirds wiped it out at the feeders. Stayed on Dove and Ross Salvage Roads again because of slippery conditions on the main road but still saw plenty. One of the Kestrels was out and I saw a few hawks as well. Made it down to see Bertha who was looking beautiful as ever and some other horses. The African Geese were still on the pond waiting for the ice to melt and on another pond a cow broke through the ice for a drink. Watched a cow scratch an itch on barbed wire and a baby calf get some nourishment from mama. Savannah and Ginger greeted me as I ended my watch and after I fill the feeders the gang comes in for a meal!

You're welcome Barb! Every day has been a good day here in paradise!

Talk about multi-tasking, MAK! Driving... filming... commenting... spying that hawk in the faraway tree...

 

[OlRedHair]

Yeah, I didn't even spy that hawk until you commented on it!  MAK, you are amazing.  Have fun in Paradise today.
