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. Oh, he has grown into such a lovely young man. (We seem to be having a big spontaneous family reunion!) We spent aContinue reading “Thursday in Bird World”
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

Any reports of hatches orContinue reading “Tuffy gets his wings…Saturday in Bird World”
Tragedy strikes at Carthage! Friday in Bird World
23 May 2024 Good Afternoon Everyone, It was a gorgeous sunny day and I set out to check the number of ducklings and goslings at our local pond. Little did I know the tragedy that was brewing in Tennessee with the recent thunder storms. I am glad that I got out in nature for awhile.Continue reading “Tragedy strikes at Carthage! Friday in Bird World”
Bobbleheads everywhere…Thursday in Bird World
23 May 2024 Good Morning Everyone, I want to thank everyone that send a note to Lake Murray. They have installed some strobe lights and will turn on music. I hope it works but I would encourage Lake Murray and all nests that have the chance of predation by eagles or owls to look toContinue reading “Bobbleheads everywhere…Thursday in Bird World”
Thank you!
22 May 2024 To Everyone that wrote in to tell Lake Murray how much we much we love Lucy and Kenny and their osplets and are how devastated we are that brave Little was taken by the GHO in the early hours of this morning, thank you. Lake Murray has posted this response to ourContinue reading “Thank you!”
