PHEASANTS!
November 1, 2024
I've been hearing sounds at night -
I knew not turkey or chicken.
Today the cam caught a pair of BEAUTIFUL pheasants running around!

Guess there's a dead deer carcas too.
Hunter or coyote?

Our male visited this morning - and again this afternoon.
He appears to be guarding nest from other osprey.

It's a good day to forage in the leaves and on the fallen logs under the nest area.  The blue jay sorted through the leaves and finally chose several to fly away with.  Do they do nestorations in the fall like the eagles?

STLbf  Thank you for the great screen shots. Blue jays are a favorite of mine; from what I looked up at Cornell "All About Birds":

"Blue Jays build their nests in the crotch or thick outer branches of a deciduous or coniferous tree, usually 10-25 feet above the ground. Male and female both gather materials and build the nest, but on average male does more gathering and female more building. Twigs used in outer part of nest are usually taken from live trees, and birds often struggle to break them off. Birds may fly great distances to obtain rootlets from recently dug ditches, fresh graves in cemeteries, and newly fallen trees. Jays may abandon their nest after detecting a nearby predator.

Nest Description:  Open cup of twigs, grass, and sometimes mud, lined with rootlets."

Also, that does look like a golden eagle to me! Nice catch.

7:05 on too early snowman card.  51 degrees and cloudy today.  Will check John's mail at 2 pm.  Debbie is anxious to pay the water bill, which she thinks is due on the first of the month.  She is seeing her attorney at 1PM today.  She is still sick, but will wear a mask to protect Atty. Linda.  I sure hope it works.  Mary is still home with her two boys due to her having flu like symptoms.  Illness all around me.  I hope I have enough antibodies.
Doc's update was a good read as usual.  The photos are first-rate.  He is multi-talented.
I am anxious about the vet visit.
now I am thinking about lunch and the mail.  I know there is a bill in the mail, but I don't know if the mail is in my box yet.  The service to notify me when mail is in the box is not as reliable as the one showing what is on the way.  Delivery is so erratic it is even fooling the Post Office.
Republican Govenor Arnlod has said he has seen enough of Trump, and is going to vote for Kamala.  GO KAMALA!!!
God Bless the USA, and all those in need today.  Especially Cali, and Deb, and Mary.
