hi cal- done mowing- I use the new  used ztr rider- took less than 2 hours and the yard looks nice. Hubby told me while I was on the mower that duke is coming today for an overnighter. They are going to St. Louis for a ball game and they were going to take duke but now figured it would be too hot for him- yay for me.  Also I was weeding in the barn garden before I mowed and found a hibiscus that I transplanted last fall. Finally coming up- that's usually the last perennial to show up. Thrilled about that. I was sweating like Rafa- not so bad on the mower. 85 already- have a big mug of ice water! 

Was excited for the fifa soccer tournament to start this week then I found out that the USA didn't qualify a team. Bummer! May watch some anyhow. My favorite is the women's soccer team but that tournament is next year I think.

Need to check on ted again- was sound asleep earlier and waiting on fledge in decorah.  Shower then lunch.

Whoops! Some fledges are intentional and others are accidental! An eaglet - we believe it to be D30 based on the lineup - fledged this afternoon at about 2:55pm when it fell from the Skywalk. It is currently perched in a tree right next to the N2B nest tree, and SuperMom is keeping a close eye on things! While we might not be ready for fledge, D30 is 74 days old - on the young side, but still old enough for fledge!

We'll keep everyone posted, and we apologize for the brief outage this afternoon. We are glad to be back online! Thanks to Brian Malaise for the photo and update.



T40, I'm adding this tidbit I saw on the FB page about the photo.  It was easier to picture where D30 in relation to the skywalk --

"If you look at the center of this photo, you'll see the eaglet perched at the top of the lower tree ... but follow up to the downturned branch in the upper center tree and you'll see D29 & D31 on the Skywalk showing just how close the siblings are to each other from tree to tree in this amazing photo.

RRP has the necessary permit but still would need permission and they've said many times there's no easy way to return an eaglet to N2B. They have to shoot (literally) a line up into the tree to set up their climbing ropes. It's way too dangerous to do that with eaglets in the nest and another one in the vicinity. That alone would pretty much rule out human intervention. Also, there's no access there for a heavy truck with a bucket extension arm, so climbing is the only way into the nest. If the parent can take care of a grounded and uninjured eaglet, then intervention isn't appropriate (like the situation with the Great Spirit Bluff falcons a couple of years ago). If the eaglet is injured, then I'm sure it would be picked up and taken for treatment (like D20). Boots on the ground must have determined D30 wasn't injured, which was their main purpose for being there. D30 was very close to fledging, too, so IMO s/he was never going to be returned to the nest by humans.

Good morning everyone- was watching the nest- eaglettes really are ready to fledge. thanks jp for the sun teddies and lucky and the tulip-

duke and I are snuggled on my chair waiting for the next fledge- well- he's kind of snoozing- already 82 out but only one more day of heat. Am reading The Fallen by David Baldacci and then on to the Potter book
cal- mom's work is really getting to be a challenge when the kids all fledge- need to take food to different places to make sure all are fed. How are the puppies? have you heard from anyone either missing them or wanting to adopt? I watched Dr Jeff last night- they have a lady that goes to puppy mills and rescues dogs from horrible conditions- I could never do that- i'd keep them all- Dr Jeff does treatment on sick ones and spay and neuters. They had a shih Tzu with only one eye- absolutely adorable- I wanted her. All those dogs need social interaction with humans- haven't had any.
Soccer on today and I decided to cheer for Mexico- our neighbor since the USA didn't qualify a team. Good day to stay inside.
Have a great day jewelies!
