I have good news;  Star seems to be a little better this morning.  She is walking sturdier and had more of an appetite for her breakfast. 

Phyl - Star & I thank you!  Thanks for all the great Cam pics and info!

Tig - Thank you so much!

Tsk - You are right, so hard to see our pets age (especially it seems to have come on quickly).   Prayers that your discomfort improves a little bit each day.

LisaG - The time is getting nearer for Misty's happy event!    Thank you for well wishes for Star 

Puff - Yes, Star is getting lots of extra love & attention 

BL - The MSP snowfall graph tells the story - yikes.

Weasel - What is the name of the med that your kitty was taking?  My dog has seen 3 different Drs at this VCA, and they all recommend the liquid gabapentin for her arthritic pain.

Lani - Thank you so much for the well wishes for my little Star.

Oldguy - Hope you had a good night at cards!

Kb - Wishing all that heavy snow would really start disappearing.    Oh no, the DNR nest?!

Clynn - Thank you for well wishes and I did ask Weasel if she would tell me what med her kitty took.   Did your Car's computer get fixed and working properly now?

Beakers have a nice Sunday

Here is a link for the drug. 

I don’t know is there is something similar for dogs though. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

E4E - So glad to hear that Star is doing better this morning.   

tig & kb - So sad....I watched the live feed! Poor baby!    Was that the parent on the tree to the side, after the nest fell that flew off? 

Puff - I hope you are feeling better. 

tsk - I love tulips.

clynn - Aww, thanks for posting my pic here in the Beak.    I got a lil more rest than Jeff.  He is getting a sinus infection, and is all stuffed up, so he didn't too much sleep. ((Helen)) Yikes that is scary for R&R's eggs!

Phyl - Great cam pics this morning. Love the sunflower umbrella!

NEW: Sloth TV Playground Camera!
Stay tuned for our new camera, where you can see some of the animals from our rescue center as they go through their rehabilitation journey. You can even catch the various wild birds that visit our ranch constantly!

Catch Viscerion, the crocodile, as he takes the sun in his pool daily. Also, be on the look for Randy and Rihanna while they exercise and recover during their rehabilitation process.

Hi Beakers! 

((E4E, Kris, Star)) Glad to hear Star seems a bit better today.

Sad news about the MNDNR Eagle nest. Poor eaglet. RIP.

Lisa, I hope ((Jeff)) starts feeling better!

Tsk, wow, that's great that you're 75% back already!! But, ugh, on still having so much pain! I hope that part gets better and better, and soon!

Clynn, glad you got your car back! That's crazy that you had to do that leg work to track it down. Wish I could be on the line whenever you or Ed have your say with the Service Dept Mgr.! What's wrong with people?!?

Lani, has the weather put a crimp in Mike's travel to plants? Maybe it has, and has given him a bit of a rest from that? LOLOL on Puma's whiffing reaction!

Puff, if it were me, I would just wipe down the book, and put it on the bookshelf without further worry. Glad you're cold is better.

Lori, hope you start feeling better. Does your grandmother have her power, and heat, back yet?

Tig, the hot salmon salad and cheese on open face English muffin sounds yum. I baked a whole side of wild Alaska salmon yesterday. It was good with carrots and spinach.

Phyl, oh gawd... I would love a homemade milkshake!

Hi to BL, OG, T40, weasel, and All!

[tsk34]

LANI   Thanks for the Royals update  Like that view.  Little toddler SP doesn't know quite what to make of it    Lots going on at TRR as always

Comcast here for 2 hours.....New X1 DVR box.   Still could not figure out why current Legacy box - and others he tried could not be activated..

[baziunc]

 




Have a good evening, and take care, Beakers.

kb, oh no, the MN DNR nest is gone...so very sad. The same thing that happened to the old Trio nest...

E4E, thanks for letting us know little Star is feeling better today. We all feel for each other and our pets... What a great family we all have here... I haven't tried everything on my car, but will assume it's fine!

baz, I just think that there are a lot of people working these days who just don't understand customer service (speaking of the car dealership). When I got there, the guy from Quick Lane couldn't help me enough, he even told me to wait inside while they brought my car around because it was cold and windy. Of course, he was more our age... One has to treasure those people when we can!  LOLOL, the Murder of Crows... When we cook salmon on the grill I season it with rosemary and garlic seasoning, we have fresh asparagus and a baked potato or baked sweet potato, it's one of our faforite meals!

Lani, thanks for the Alby video, love how they communicate! Clackity clack clack... The little one is looking so good, I hope they visit each other when the parents are gone... I am betting they put some kind of critter guard on the crane at SF Bay, to keep the raccoons away!

Lisa, I watched the video of the MN DNR nest falling...Nancy looked like she sensed something wasn't right.  So very sad. They said it was too late to have another clutch, I wish it wasn't. But to build a nest first probably makes it not possible. Seems like the hatch was earlier this year. Is Misty pacing? Or has she settled down since you let her have free range? I bet Bandit won't be a mean big brother!

tsk, you are amazing! 75% is good!

Friends of Minnesota Nongame Eagle Cam - Thomas Demma 
What Happened.
The simple answer is the tree failed. As you all know the nest was situated about 80 feet up in a Cottonwood tree. A few years back the DNR had an arborist inspect the tree and they determined it was dead. I’ve always had a bit of a questioning attitude regarding that assessment since it was capable of producing enough foliage to make getting a clear photo challenging. Whether it was dead or dying is irrelevant at this point as it was certainly compromised.
The nest was situated in the crotch of three branches. The smallest of which was what I referred to as the ‘Branching-Branch’ in my Herm Reports. This branch was an integral support and that is the branch that failed. The weight was simply more than this branch could support and it broke free taking the nest down.
What We Found.
When I arrived, Randy Wendel was just getting out of his truck and we walked back to the site. The nest was upside down with scattered twigs and branches surrounding it. We obviously had no idea where E was but the assumption was since he was in the bowl, that’s probably where we’d find him. We carefully started clearing away the debris but still no E.
The main section of the nest -the section with the bowl- was incredibly heavy but we were able to pry it up little by little and eventually flip it over. We carefully started removing what was in the main section and found everything we’ve all seen come in the nest for the last few days. Multiple fish, Rabbit, Squirrel and even a couple Turtles. We went so far as to completely clean the bowl but no E. We didn’t understand how we were able to locate multiple items on the surface of the nest but not E who was in the bowl.
Lori and several DNR officials had shown up by this time and the entire team started the search. We checked the grounds, the fenced in area and even the trees above thinking perhaps E was thrown from the nest and landed on something. Nothing.
Once of the conservation officers saw something suspect laying about ten feet from the main bowl section which was quickly identified as E. We’ll never know why everything else in the bowl section ended up under it and E was ten feet away.
Were Do We Go From Here
This page will survive of that I’m sure. I have a long history with this nest and it’s inhabitants. I’ve seen tragedy and triumph throughout the years. I’ve met many wonderful people, learned a great deal and sharpened my photography skill immensely all because of this nest. I visit and photograph many locations during the season but this one is and will forever be home to me.
I want to personally thank each and every single one of you that contributes to this page. It could be a simple ‘Like” on a photo, a video clip, some educational content or a comment in a post. YOU all make this page what it is.
Many, many years ago I’d lost a dog to old age. I have a tendency to internalize things, because, you know, that’s what men do. She pulled me aside at a dog show and told me; “It’s OK to cry for dogs you know.” Sage advice that I’m finding is true for birds.
Now. Let’s get down to the business of rebuilding you two. If you think you can hide from Bonnie and I think again. We WILL find you.

Clynn - I agree, Nancy looked she knew something wasn’t right.  Thanks for the Thomas Demma post.
Misty has settled down since we let her roam around at night.

Baz - Thanks 😊

Tsk - DVR all fixed and working?

Have a good night, everyone!
