Catlin Clark was unstoppable tonight - triple double - 33pts,12 assists, 10 rebounds.  She set 3 scoring records.  Iowa beat Minn. 108 to 60 and shot 61.8% for the game.  They made 22 out of 39 3 pt. shots for 56.4%  It was a 3pt clinic. :o

Congrats!! She needs to give a clinic for the Jayhawks! They need a woman to teach them how to get the job done! She's amazing!  8)

Royal Albatross ~ LGK Gets To Meet TFT For 1st Time! 🐥 Shares Affectionate Preening w/ BOK 💕 2.25.24

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4w-uKxWgKQ

Feb 25, 2024
Dad LGK spent the night with TF and in the morning he gave two feedings. At the nest to the right TFT BOK flew in for another changeover with WYL. The coverage begins with LGK getting up and walking to the cam and giving us some great closeups! LGK is one handsome dude!! 💕 After several minutes of admiring himself for the camera, he heads over to TF who is not interested in another feeding at that time.

LGK walks over to BOK who is sitting on the nest and he reaches over and gives her some affectionate preening. He also does a playful nip at her feathers. They have a friendly neighborly interaction (no he is not disloyal to LGL by preening another female!) :) Albatross mate for life and very loyal and dedicated to their partner. Even when a partner dies, it can takes years before the bereaved albatross will start to find a new mate. LGK is just being neighborly 💕

BOK gets up and LGK gets to see TFT and touch it with his bill - sort of like the elephants that touch a new born ellie with their trunks! Very tender moment. Looks like both WYL and BOK will be good neighbors to LGK & LGL. ♥ LGK gets up and has a beautiful departure over the water! Hurry home LGL we miss you! Thank you for watching!

Lori - The Cream Horns look delicious, but your wording about buttery and crispy made me think of this oldie, but goodie.  Jeff and I laugh our heads off, and its a running joke in our house.  ;D  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIrQ9ilL8aw

Kb lovely scarlet ibis; the ibises that were 'sacred' to ancient Egyptians were white.    Although their murals show some as black. They  sacrificed ibises by the millions, murdering and mummifying the sacred birds as tributes to Thoth (pronounced like “oath,” with a “th” at the beginning), who also oversaw justice, magic and the judgment of the dead.


I'm so lucky! White Ibis are at the retention pond next to my building every day. Big long, curved beak... like an oil rig... up and down in the dirt, all the live long day! There is one in particular one, here daily, solo, except for his good buddy, the Great Egret.  :D :D :-* :-* :-*

TSK... I was following the bus, as it was on my route for about 5 blocks, and was pulling away from me after I reached 35 m.p.h.

Very sore hip tonight after sitting most of the 4.5 hours in laundry room on regular chair and 2 hours at BWW on regular chair. Pain pills didn't help much. Hmmm

SED


I don't know what BWW is (is that something most people know?), or what your cause of hip pain is, but I know hip pain of any kind - arthritic, or otherwise - is no fun. I hope you feel better soon. ((Hugs))

Former Coaches Roy Williams and Larry Brown were present. Both coached at KU too!

Eagles, glad your back is feeling a better and back to her spunky self! She sounds like Lisa's mom!  ;D

Tsk, The TFT family keeps a close eye the TF chick.. How is your SIL?

Phyl, beautiful sunset at Flyaway cam! Interesting info about the ibises

P.S. Lani, there is so much connection between my UNC Tarheels, and your and Mike's KU Jayhawks! I have followed our intersecting basketball team histories for years!  ;D We could hate each other's team history with some of that, or relish the connection. I'm relishing it. But just so you and Mike know...  ;D ... if we meet in the NCAA Tourney, you know where I stand.

Well, baz I did find and watch your team.  Why NC?  Your school or family connection? 

First half low scoring, but picked up tone the second half.  Got just crazy at the end.  Liked watching their two little guys (racing around little guys/rabbits), exciting play by #4 and #2, Davis and Cadeau.  What year are they?  Hope you get more time with them in other years.

Looked all through the stands for you and the sign.   8)   I'm sure I finally found you.  You were the one wearing the blue sweatshirt, right?   :P

P


Puff, you're hilarious!!!  ;D ;D ;D I was not wearing a sweatshirt. I am waiting for my sister to send me the pics of us at the game with the UNC mascot, Ramses, the Fighting Ram. I will share a pic here when I get it.  ;) :D   I went to school there, at UNC-Chapel Hill, as did my siblings and father. Our blood runs Carolina Blue, as the saying goes.  ;D    ;) :D

BAZI    Bit of a nail biter in the last minutes  :o :o  Hope you had a good time at the game.  ;D

EAGLES  A trip to Mom's today to pack up wrong Amazon order.  Been there done that. :o  Good idea from CLYNN

LANI   My SIL  Margaret is still sleeping a lot but they did go for a ride on Sunday to visit her brother for a bit.  Baby steps.    Pepper telling the story   LOL     YAY  LGL is home  ;D   Big change for baby in 9 days  :o

PHYL   What a cute fabric owl  :)   Good blog from Amy    Interesting how they are publishing the location of the Trempealeau nest.
HD    Knows the location of some good nesting material  LOL    That Dana Schroeder photo is stunning. 

CLYNN   Awww  Harley




TSK, you're being judicious! My nails are mostly gone!!! But we had a total blast at the game! Theres's so much good, and fun, stuff that happens on the court - during the breaks and halftime - that doesn't appear on TV. Great fun the whole time!  :D  I'm so glad your Margaret is getting out some. Hugs.  :-* :-*

Sue Bruhling - Breaking News in Decorah!!!!! - Decorah Hatchery Eagles - February 25, 2024
Our Friend & Photographer Steven Smith went over to Decorah on Sunday and look what he found!!!!!! Dude/HD & Missy/HM INCUBATING at their New Nest, N5 on the other side of the Bluff!!! ❤ ❤ ❤ They have Eggs! Oh! Happy Day!!!! 🙂 The incubation period for these eggs is approximately 35 days. Although we don't know the exact days that they were laid we will have some kind of an idea counting 35 days from February 25 which would be March 30th! Also, I wonder if the warmer weather might affect the incubation period this year as bald Eagle Incubation in the southern states tend to be shorter due to the warmer weather! 😉 Thank You! Steven Smith for sharing the Big News and Pictures with us! ❤


 

Clynn, YAYAYAY for Decorah HD and HM!!! And N5! Found! Delivered!!!!  :) :-* :-* :-*
