Thought I hadn't checked in on the Black Eagles of Roodekrans for a while.

Guess who I found chowing down and growing by leaps and bounds

Good Morning Beakers!

    

tsk, 65, heading for 91 and mostly sunshine here today. You are the Mama of the Monarchs for sure! This has been a good year despite starting out slow!

Phyl, the Black Eaglet is growing up so fast! I think they are one of the prettiest juveniles, interesting how they turn all black. Yes, the Flyway looks moody this morning... Good to see a new female, hopefully she will catch Newman's eye!  Thanks for the news from Hawaii...so sad.

oldguy, sorry about your card games! You will have a wonderful time at your reunion next weekend! Thanks for the videos, I really enjoy Juan Browne, I was hoping he would come up with one on Hawaii and Lahaina... I got carried away and realized I hadn't posted Good Morning yet! I am halfway through the one about the dam!

Lani, constant prayers for Maui and all of the people and animals...

Good Morning Beakers

Phyl - "how hurt" and "Died" are lines on the form that are not filled in, just like the 2 lines above of "did bird breed" and "fledged"

A couple of errands this morning and packing up - leaving after lunch and back home tomorrow night...

We got 1 inch of rain from 4:15 to 5:45 this morning   ;D ;D

Puff - I feel your heart-wrenching sadness.  You have so much knowledge and tons of memories. {{{Puff}}}   You write and express yourself really well, you could write a book.

Lani - My grandson goes back to school next week.  We will see him this week as we've bought a dinner ticket that his football team is doing for a fundraiser!    Yaaaay, so happy they brought Mike's car back and so glad they found the key fob too! ;D    Thank you for posting bearstudy and love reading the history.

LisaG - I love how your Mom is always planning a new adventure / she knows how to go places and have fun! 8)   Glad she received her other piece of luggage!

Tsk - Glad you & Tim had a great day going to the Boerner Botanical Gardens  :)   Happy that you guys were able to get a new Keurig for Tim  :)   Wishing Tim good luck with getting his new phone set up.  :)

Karen - Although Piper can't tell you, but I bet she felt so much better after her shampoo, mani & pedi  :)     Glad you enjoyed your pedi!

Phyl - Thank you for all the good info on where to make donations.    Beautiful pic at Great Spirits Bluff Falcons and I do hope she is alive & well  :-*   Thank you for All the nest cams!

Happy for the rain.  :)
Our concrete guy stopped by and measured the sidewalk and we shook on an amended price. The job is now scheduled for next week. Talons crossed it goes well.
Rest today. Tasks tomorrow.

My Bro sang the National Anthem for the St. Paul Police Band Centennial concert last night. He was a member when he was on the job.

Royal Albatross 8/11
This afternoon Manaaki at 203 days old, was weighed and supplementary feed 600ml of rehydrating fluids and 1 kg of fish and octopus. Yum!

🎥In case you missed it, here is Manaaki's recent GLS attachment with explanations.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=jY9IKG-3yEw

8/10
Julia holding an Albatross chick with their GLS device.
The devices are very small and attached to the S-S band with a very small cable tie. Kalinka from Parker Conservation helped with the attachments. Thank you. https://parkerconservation.co.nz

Royal Albatross - 8/9
Wind and Wings
Manaaki used the winds to help him with his wingercizes, and strengthen those flight muscles.
He also attempted a jump or two while hopping about.   
Clever chick.  ;D

A Black-billed gull dropped in to look, too.

KB  Good news for your area with the rain and subsequent lower temps which could get here by Monday.

CLYNN  A one in a million shot of the finch and hawk - Really special to get that.   " I'll go camping" ROTFL ;D

LISA  Keurig worked great - Even a bit quieter.   I got his speaker phone part working  LOL  and we had the speed dial process correct but we were supposed to HOLD the number button.  He went to Verizon and they showed him.  He's a happy camper now.  ;) ;)

OLDGUY   Have a great time - How far do you have to travel?   I want a red panda  LOL

EAGLES   Cute AM pic  ;)

TIG   Awww  Your houseguests have left -  :(   Nice honor for your Bro!!    Sure hope sidewalk project goes well.

LANI   Cute AM pic   ;D   Those little sloths are so very sweet. :-*   Manaaki is now wearing his "Fit Bit"  LOLOL  Interesting how they won't know any data til the albatross returns.  I'd be on pins and needles.

1 hour 45 min - reorganized the garage and swept it out - Set aside stuff for Tim to go through  - like 5 bottles the same car product and 4 bottles of another different one.  Sigh....

tsk - following yesterday's slightly cooler temps and rain last night, we have heated up with a high dewpoint....a feels like 89 right now....storms possible tonight and then again on Sunday which might bring in cooler temps for us next week.....
I've just hung out today....after many days of previous lawn work, helping Andrew, and watering....I'll kick back up into gear tomorrow.

Oh, I have that garage organizing task on my to do list before winter too...

Lani gorgeous Manaaki...and sounds like a wonderful project to determine where to put their energy to help them all.

tsk - "pins and needles"....lol..waiting for their return in 3-5 years.......hmmm....I sure hope we can witness this....meaning, I count every day a blessing right now.
