    My long time girl friend

    We have been together for many years.

    Feel free to enjoy her as much as I do.

    BTW--she is sitting on two eggs.

    We have a nesting pair in a tree by the lake we live on. They are quite beautiful. The only thing I don't like about them is that they have quite an appetite for the local ducks.

    Am I correct when I say that not to soon after the chicks are born there will only be one left. The bigger of the two always kicks the runt out, nothing personnel just business.

    Just the size of the individual sticks is amazing well over 6' long and perfectly curved, big around as a baseball bat too!

    I was just looking at the eagle cam again and noticed a plastic garbage bag up in the nest. Those things are everywhere it seems.

    I can’t get the video to play, perhaps the format is one of those incompatible with Apple devices.

    Perhaps because the Apple devices are incompatible with the rest of the digital world.

    Joe, you might be able to get Apple to climb up there and hang their own camera

    They will need a mighty big ladder, that is a a massive sycamore tree--which happens to be the biggest deciduous species in NA.

    Really? Are they that hard headed or that sure that they will overcome that you can't even access certain media?

    Adobe Flash will not convert/play on Apple iOS, but I have no way of knowing what format the Eaglecam is using. Then again, I may easily be merely too inept to enable what is there.

    The chicks have been born they are alive and well for now. The site is either getting slammed or my connection is slow tonight I can't get it to load all the way. One has anyway I should have read farther the second I'm not sure about. The way they are talking it could be one or both.
