Tracking MAK

[WLABarb]

Sorry you had that encounter with "Mrs. Crabby Crabtree," especially since Angel (Bertha) enjoys your visits. I've had similar things happen while out photographing birds. It's definitely disheartening, and has a tendency to put a dark cloud over the rest of the outing. However, there were many other high points to enjoy! The Egyptian Geese are quite stylish. I've never seen them before your pictures. The calves are so cute. Mike had a big smile for you/us, too!

You're right Barb, there were many highlights and I am grateful for every one of them! It was a surprise to see Mike in that tractor-I never knew he could drive one!

Only 5 days left in paradise Nora-I'm sure gonna miss this place and my family. Ebony will be all grown up next time I visit.

  Hi y'all! Day 26 in Paradise was a day of missed opportunities as there were many raptors out gliding on the wind currents, but eluding me while I looked for a place to pull over and photograph them. I did get a couple tho! I started my watch by driving down Dove Rd. past Angel as I wanted to catch a glimpse of her. I saw a couple mockingbirds,some more sheep and horses, a tow truck on stilts and a "Fresh eggs" sign which you don't see too much any more. I checked out a couple new dirt roads and spotted a couple more dogs. A pair of Bluebirds stayed still long enough for me to get a couple shots off and I ended up at home enjoying the Chickadees,Tufted Titmouse and White-breasted Nuthatches at the backyard bird feeders.

Check out my album and videos below if you'd like to see what I saw today

All of your pics and videos have been wonderful, MAK, and thanks so much for taking the time to take them and post them.  And I didn't think the all of the dogs were scary.   But we miss you!  Hopefully you'll be heading back up north soon.

Thank you Pat! There were just a handful of dogs that looked a bit unfriendly shall we say!?    My plane takes off next Tuesday at 5:50am-6:50am in Rochester as I am on Central time here. So I'll be home very soon.

Do you visit every year?  Ever consider moving there?

Why don't you think the lady wants Angel's picture taken?

Loved the pics and videos today!

MAK, you could work for vPike getting pictures of all those back road houses they don't get to! It looked like a beautiful day in your Arkansas Paradise. I know you're savoring every moment!

   Nora, I have visited every year for the past 4 years-since my mom passed away in 2009, I feel close to her thru my sister cuz she's a lot like my mom. I have considered moving here at times and my sis,her hubby and my niece always try talking me into it when I visit but I have the rest of my family in Rochester,many good, long time friends and of course our falcons who give me a reason to get out of bed every day. My life is there, at least for now.
   I don't know why Angels' owners don't want me to take pictures of her but I respect their wishes. I didn't even stop today just drove by and it made me very sad not to stop and talk to her as she made her way to the front of the fence to see me.

Barb, I had to google vPike to see what you were talking about-never heard of it! It was a very nice day here and I so am savoring what's left of my time here!

Hope you get a good look at Angel today.  Maybe at least you can drive by slowly.

I grew up in Rochester.  Sometimes I regret selling my parents' house, not moving back, and staying In FL.  I would love the Falcon watches.  But like you said, we create a life where we are, and it would be hard to relocate.
