You know where the fifth went to - I'm just happy to count 4!

[Donna]

Went from 4 to 2. Where are they disappearing to??  They looked healthy the other day. Actually from 5 to 2 left.

[Donna]

Yup, I only see 2. Hmmm

I like the storks on the light going across the street.

Just glad I only check in for pictures on the stork nests!  The authors of the site where saying that it is a great year (weather wise) for the storks.  Glad I'm not a stork

   I don't want to be an Osprey, but Rich lives in fear that the koi will be put in the pool for the Osprey - keeps him on his toes!

You need to find a couple of *large* and realistic fake fish to slip into the pool overnight

What happened to the other 3 babies?  Here is the translation from German:

Thursday 19 May 2011
A sad news ...
 
Next to all the great news about the young ones, there are unfortunately some who are not very encouraging.

You may certainly have noticed that remained of the five young storks in the nest on the roof the stork barn since Saturday, only two young are.

One of the parents was found one man discarded plastic rope and taken into the nest. The boys are totally tangled in it!

Since a submission by man-made problem, Christian Reis three animals freed from the cord. He arrived at two dead boy. A third sadly died a few hours after the rescue operation.

It always die young, unfortunately (even adult birds!) To trash. It is worth the  small pieces of junk (cords, rubber, ...) to clear away.

With the storks and our falcons, there is too much sadness today! At least the ROC Falcons can only blame Nature.

[Donna]

Oh how sad for them...(now we know)!    Ropes, fishing line, plastic bags are all killers to birds and other animals. 3 babies suffered from the hands of man. Good grief. Thanks Janet.
