Karen- Glad to hear your doctor's office will be calling you to schedule the date.  Hope you get in soon!    Good luck with your driving/vision test!

Tig- Thank you for nice compliment!    Good for you in how well you are getting used to the Monitor. {{Tig}}

Tsk- Yes, we had a good evening with family     Wonderful encouragement you posted for Tig!     Thoughts & prayers for Tim's cousin in Texas.  Thank goodness he finally went to Baylor.  Wishing him all the best. {{{Tim's cousin & family}}}   Please keep us posted.

Kb- That is quite a scary story you told of getting stalked years ago.  Thankfully you had Brenda who was so helpful to you on that scary day and on the other occasions you mentioned. 
Grateful for the help that arrived for the nest that had gone down and that they found one eaglet still alive (so sad they all didn't survive), thank you so much for the folks that made this rescue!!   Thank you Kb, for posting picture too.

Og- Thanks for the great links!  One of my favorites is always the Quarantine Kids 

Phyl- Re; Jackie & Shadow; thank you for the hug and I'm sending one right back to you.  Hard to know why all 3 eggs did not hatch, I watched everyday just hoping at least one would, but it wasn't meant to be.  They sure didn't give up on their precious eggs for the longest time tho.     Okay Phyl, just read that it is a 'Nephrologist.  I wish all the best for Jim.  {{Jim & Phyl}}

Lani- Royal Albies looking good!! Bet the new Cam is great!

Baz- Good for your walk today!

LisaG, Bl, Lori, Clynn 

Rain more earlier today.  Cam ops get great closeups on the nest.  DN17 (I think) horked up a pellet that I thought might be a mouse, but probably too big. 

 

Baz, good description!  The eaglets change so fast that the way they looked yesterday while I was away, likely is different from today!  The article about feathers from April 16th is really interesting. Just tuning in at 2:00, and MrN is on the bank of the creek.

The piebald (odd coloration) goose surely is an interesting addition to the gallery of geese here at RRP.  BL, I agree that at least we will be able to identify one of the many!

The single egg at N1 was left alone and uncovered from midnight to about 7:00 this morning when the "pair of the day" landed.  They are somewhat crabby with each other, the normal colored and larger of the two seems to be prodding at the piebald.  Still, the piebald  covered up the egg later in the morning and is sitting on it some of the time.

Several turkey vultures were eating at a very large dead fish near the Pond aroung 1:00 this afternoon.  It has been raining here, too.

KB      Great Lake Rebecca rescue.  None of that rescue would have happened if someone had not been watching that nest through the years.

LISA  Just finished spreading 10 more bags of mulch in the drizzle  LOLOL  In now and changed clothes and off to the grocery for a few things.

KAREN   I was thinking the same thing about how many times a nest falls and no one knows about it.  At least one baby survived.

LANI  Those close-ups of parents and chicks are so good.  The white is so white  LOL

BAZI  Glad you listen to your body.   Keep moving but just in smaller doses. 

A prayer please for Tim's cousin in Texas, who we found out this AM is currently undergoing brain surgery for a tumor - will do pathology.   Apparently Joe has been having headaches for a while now - passed off as "migraine" until so bad he went to Baylor and almost immediately  scan after scan-went into surgery.  The tumor was bleeding causing the headaches.  We pray that this is benign!!
Will likely get a text later today.

I also read that colorization on a CG can be the result of a CG cross breeding with another type of goose such as a Snow Goose.

The articles were referring to them as Hybrid Canada Geese.

So this CG could be leucistic, piebald or a hybrid.

Pretty cool looking. I've never seen one before.
If this pair decides to stay at least we'll know for sure which one this one is.   

Howdy Beakers! 

I walked 17 minutes today... my time is lower recently due to hip bursitis on the left side a big bother the last few weeks, and a pesky riled up bum knee on the right side.  Sheese. Maybe I will walk about the same amount of time again later today. We'll see. Heading out for grocery shopping now. BBL! 

((Take care, All!)) It's a great day!! 

Baz and All! 

Parrotrotti! What a beautiful voice!

    Thanks, Lani!! So cute - both clips! Cockatiels are excellent songtune whistlers!

Thanks, Lisa and Karen! Very cool to see the piebald Canada Goose with this new pair at N1!! I looked up some information about piebald Canada Geese vs. leucistic, and there are examples of both types in the Canada Geese population. Lucky to spot the "spotted" - piebald necked - Canada Goose on the Decorah N1 nest live cam!! I found a few articles about variations of piebald in the Canada Goose, and sometimes it's on the neck, while other times the piebald coloration is on a different part of the body. Not very common to see it apparently. If they hatch any goslings on cam, it will be neat to see any reports in the area of any piebald offspring results as they molt into adult plumage.
