3 June 2024 Good Morning Everyone, It was a scorching Sunday morning. I dedicated much of my time to tending the garden. I strategically planted hostas in areas with ample shade and moisture. The vegetable plants are thriving, and the vibrant red flowers of the annuals will soon bring immense joy. Despite the nuisance ofContinue reading “Monday in Bird World”
Cal Falcons Fledge, Sad news out of Border Ospreys…Sunday in Bird World
2 June 2024 Good Morning Everyone, Saturday was a beautiful warm day and no time was wasted inside. My legs still needed a good work out. Is it possible one can get out of shape completely in four or five days? Everyone was happy so it was nice to be at the nature centre. ThereContinue reading “Cal Falcons Fledge, Sad news out of Border Ospreys…Sunday in Bird World”
Saturday in Bird World
1 June 2024 Good Morning Everyone, It is bright and sunny and nearing 1800 on the Canadian Prairies. We had a lovely brunch with the entire family on the deck with warm sunshine blessing all of us.

Friday in Bird World
31 May 2024 Good Morning Everyone, Oh, it is pitching down rain in Winnipeg. We had such a lovely sunny warm day yesterday. So glad I did not stay inside! The rule should be: Never put anything off. If it is a nice day, get outside and enjoy nature because you never know what isContinue reading “Friday in Bird World”
Thursday in Bird World
30 May 2024 Hello Everyone, Today’s posting is very short. I got to spend all day Wednesday with my grandson, Zak. It was just marvellous – way too long since we connected.

Wednesday in Bird World
29 May 2024 Hello Everyone! Oh, it is cloudy. The sun wants so much to come out and the thick clouds just won’t let it. The Crows and the Starlings are having their cheesy dogs, Chinese chicken balls, and pizza (the latter additions from neighbours) for their breakfast. Little Red is scurrying to get asContinue reading “Wednesday in Bird World”
Tuesday in Bird World
28 May 2024 Good Morning All, I apologise for being late with the Monday posting. At Lake Murray, Mum came down from her perch to sleep with her only surviving chick. Did she hear the GHO. Oh, if this chick can only put on some good weight and if the beams from the strobes wereContinue reading “Tuesday in Bird World”
Yeah for the Port of Ridgefield and sadness for Lake Murray…Monday in Bird World
27 May 2024 Good Morning, My post is very relatively short today. My son flew in from the West Indies on Sunday morning. While I have been to visit or saw him in Asia, he hasn’t been ‘home’ for ten years! The day was magical. He is here for a month. Did I say IContinue reading “Yeah for the Port of Ridgefield and sadness for Lake Murray…Monday in Bird World”
Sunday in Bird World
26 May 2024 Good Morning Everyone, Thank you for your wonderful notes. I am so glad that you learned something about why ‘H’ and I are so protective of those osplet chicks in nests if there is a GHO about! We also, of course, get more than upset when osplets attack one another and thatContinue reading “Sunday in Bird World”
Tuffy gets his wings…Saturday in Bird World
