I never realized that the red kites had an outlining of blue around them.  Grin

Only the male's have that, helps them blend into the sky. Probably.  Tongue  Cheesy

Here a shot of my favorite birds in the wild. I think they're waiting for an audience with Obama.



The look, unusual.  Grin

Cool shots, Sarge... great update info, too. Diana and I were brewing our tea in the coffee maker this morning and she saw the doves making an addition to the already massive nest on that old surfboard that hangs under my patio. Home Improvement... Mother Nature style. When they're done, I'll take another pic.

got a couple of PEEPS type stories from late....

while on vacation, Mary Ann and I were storming down Hwy 101 up around Crescent City, CA.... just south of there. We were tripping on all the ferns and gargantuan redwoods EVERYWHERE up there (it's been about 10 yr since I've been through there). So we're cruising along...I look at this handsome cabin off to my left, and there stood a pack of big ELK, just off the road. These guys were big boys too... with the full antler racks.... just grazing about 100' from hwy 101. Very cool. We stopped and took some quick pics of them. I got out of the car to get some clearer pics..... fired off a few but chickened out when 3 simultaneously looked up and gave me the "staredown" (like "yo you takin' pictchas of us? Huh?") and got back in car.

Last night Lucas and I were out doing our nightly walk around the neighborhood. We got to the street and around the corner speeds this oblivious moron in a white Camry... I hear this loud "THUD"....look over and the guy tagged one of the (many) squirrels that hang out around our place. I rushed Lucas back inside and jammed back to squirrel, laying there upside down on the sidewalk. Poor guy took it hard. he was still breathing but not moving. I scooped him up in a cat carrier, and ran him out to emergency vet/wildlife place in Moorpark and dropped him off... with high hopes. By the time I got him there he was moving around and seemed ok, but sadly, I called today @ lunch and they had to put him to sleep. Oh well... better than suffering in the street I guess.  Undecided

ive got a pretty cool story, i was leaving my house in la habra hieghts at about 3:45 am to be at work in santa monica at 5, i come around this corner and this this big fruit rat(there are a lot of avacado trees up here) right in the middle of the street, about 200' ahead of me and hes blinded by my headlights. deadmeat as far as im concerned. all of a sudden i cant see anything but white in the windshield and im a little confused, then it gets alittle further ahead of me, it was a huge owl that swooped down in front of me and  snatched the rat up, coolest thing ive ever seen. Shocked

Your ON!  I haven't seen Mom since Junior took to the air so you probably don't have much to worry about.  My wife works with a woman who has a hummingbird nest up on the back porch light.  The same nest has been used for a number of years, so I'll be leaving ours in place in hopes of future families. Cool

I'll keep one at the ready just in case!   Cool

For you Sarge.  We found a humming bird nest in our courtyard, directly outside my husband's office window.  It's a perfect view to the nest and we've been watching for the eggs to hatch for the past several weeks.  Well this morning I was lucky enough to find the mom returning to the nest and feeding her TWINS : )  We are just enjoying the heck out of this  Grin
