Thanks for the extra links.
What amazes me is their ability to lift up their rears and shoot out and over the edge of the nest. Such young chicks. Seem to be born potty trained. (screen grab)

Comments (11)Lazydaisy. the nest on the NU site is located to the best of my knowledge in British Columbia Canada. This nest is on private property and this pair has been nesting in this spot for a few years now. The owner of the property had to get permission to install the cameras because eagles are so protected they did not want to intefere with the mating/nesting/hatching/raising process of the eagles. The owner of the property had started this out on his own and had gotten such a large demande from the public to be able to view the eagles that he asked for assistance and Nothern Utilities stepped in to help out. The feed is live 24/7 and this nest has 3 eaglettes. I was only seeing one, but this morning I say the other one and he/she is much smaller than his/her brother or sister. I am happy to see that both has made it this far. Louise...See MoreAnts in container / raised bed
Comments (3)I think you can safely say that the ants you found are not fire ants. While the brave and slightly unwise are willing to poke a fire ant nest with a stick, I doubt that any local would do that with a bare hand more than once anyway. The first point is that they sting and it hurts a lot for a week to a year and several stings would give you a medical visit. AND they are agressive. Second, they live underground but build tall mounds, probably over an inch high. However there are little black ants that build small mounds too. Here is what I wrote a couple of years ago: The North Carolina ag extension agents have been giving classes in fire ant removal for a year or so. The gist of the class is the following. The effective way to remove fire ants is to poison the ants with any of the slow acting types that slowly get carried to the whole colony including the queen. This completely removes the colony AFTER A FEW WEEKS. Generally these are distributed around but not on the hill on a warm day when the ants are foraging. Put a potato chip near the mound if in doubt; if the ants don't show up in 30 minutes they won't be around to pick up the poison until it gets damp and unappatising. Also important; one should not indiscriminately poison all ants. Other ants are teritorial and will fight to keep fire ants away. They are your friends!...See MoreI have been hooked-- by eagles
Comments (13)Oh gosh, Cooperbailey, isn't watching nesting birds addicting! I have been watching a pair of osprey, located in Loch Garten in Scotland, for about 5 years now. The same female has been nesting there for a long time, but her long-time mate didn't return a couple of years ago and she now has a new male for the past couple of seasons. I have to say, it is exciting to watch (sometimes even stressful depending on what is going on at any given moment), and sometimes witnessing nature take it's course can be heartbreaking. When a chick that you watched from egg to fluffball to feathered youngster doesn't make it, it isn't easy to take. But when they do make it, you can only feel a sense of pride to watch them grow up, literally right before your eyes!

Comments (63)I'm afraid I don't see how someone can do things such as that and not realize what they're doing or seeing. I do believe it's probably just part of a culture that he was raised in, but something's gotta be missing inside with people who can do those sorts of things and not have it register somewhere. I also don't think someone can just change that type of thinking so Quickly. Maybe there are intense programs in prison? It just doesn't seem too plausible to me. It would take a lot of time and reprogramming to reach that point, imo. Hopefully he's at least on his way. I did not see the interview to really see how much progress he claims to have made. I also don't understand the connection to NFL, with regards to people's outrage. I can sort of see what people are saying, but I still see them as separate. I don't believe in shunning or bullying people. He's out of prison now, as far as punishment goes, and he needs to move on. Hopefully forward. If someone wants to hire him, then that's their business. I don't see it as some sort of a reward for bad behavior. Apparently he does what he does well, so that's why he's back. I'm not sure why his salary was reduced as it was -- from ~$134 million down to ~$1.6 million (the numbers may not be completely accurate). Specifically why? To offset potential losses due to public outrage? Cause they could manage to keep a whole lot of money? It's really not their job to punish him further, so I don't quite get that. But, what I think would have been really great, since they did reduce his salary, is if they had put all that money to good use working on animal protection and rights. $132 million. It would have been demonstrable if he'd actually offered to do it, but still quite something if the NFL had, as their own statement and support....See More- 5 years ago

One of the best things about Spring. Forsythia and my big ornamental cherry tree is blooming oven the kitchen deck. Daffodils, crocus...
My hummingbird feeders are clean and ready. Woodpeckers are loud and pecking.
Sneezing more than ever from the early pollen. Don't mind at all.
Odd that I have video of a puffin colony just off the coast. Small rocky island about the size of a two story million home in suburban NJ. They shoot their poop straight to the rock island rather than the ocean. Hmmm. Wonder why. It has dried on the rocks so the entire island is near white over the years. Reflects the summer hot sun?
Birds have one shoot, so the urine is the white crystalized with the poo being the brown tiny terd. Comes out at the same time.
Nature is an endless journey of knowledge and fascination.
Good friends are commercial fishermen. Amazing trips out with them. They were on a Canadian version of DeadliestCatch I've not seen. DH goes green but does not bother me.
