All grown up...


I've posted about the birdcam at the Rochester Kodak building before. Here is an updated picture of the baby falcons. They grow up so fast. They are all fledging this week and will be gone from the nest for good soon. It really is an amazing slice of nature to watch. If you missed them this year stay tuned until next Spring when Mariah and Kaver will be back to entertain us again.

Cowbaby


I decided to let mother nature take course with my speckled egg (see previous post) and here is a picture of the baby cowbird. It is indeed twice the size of the baby finches in the nest. Only 2 of the baby finches are around, my guess is the other 2 didn't survive. The are almost ready to fly away. If you haven't kept up with the Kodak birdcam in Rochester, there are 3 female peregrine falcons eyases, they are growing feathers fast and furiously and will be ready to fly away by the 4th of July. Nature is sure beautiful, too bad the weather around here isn't cooperating so I can enjoy it more!

A Day in the Life of my Critters


I came home early one day this week and found out just what my critters are up to during the day. Don't they look like they have a rough life?

It's been raining for two days and the forecast for the next few days is bleak. I guess I'll have time to do my household chores and I won't be putting many miles on my motorcycle :-(
