Your right Slim they don't

Major2 catfish sounds good right now. I am having leftover CFS - that i made last evening. But catfish sounds mo betta'. Maybe this weekend.

[Arcey]

Heh, heh, heh.......

Took the fat lady ta Sam's fer sumthin' else she wanted but didn't buy last time. Got ta thinkin' 'bout the hawk scream files o'er a couple Nathan's dogs.

Got home 'n pulled up the page. Recorded 'em on my cell thingy set ta dictate mode. The hi-tech one I paid near $17.00 for.

Tossed a nut, bird got it. 'Nother bird got the second. Here come the furry l'il not so secret squirrel. Hit play. He stopped, stood on 'is hind legs 'n looked 'round. Back down on all fours snoopin' 'round for a nut. Hit it again, same scenaro, freeze, look 'n creep 'round summore. Third time, reckon 'e figgered 'e was pushin' 'is luck 'n took off.

Named the files 'Squirrel Repellant' 1 thru 4. Hope they don't get used to it. Real hawk might get 'em. Don't know how I'd live with myownself it one did.

Hawks gotta eat, too, Arcey

I love watching the birds of pray in action.
I also have to admit I like seeing any and all predator in action.
This especially includes house cats that hunt "bushy tailed tree rats". They seem to get more than the birds of pray. (go get them Kitty Kitty!)
My best,
 Blair

Hawks gotta eat, too, Arcey

Hehehehehe....... sure do.

So do I. Salads with fresh butchered vegetables 'n two day old chicken. Don't know how old the cheese was.....

Ennyways....

This here be Camellia:



An American Bald Eagle.

T'other end:



A bird of prey.

Watched the egg laid. Werried myownself sick it'd freeze. Saw 'im hatch. Then 'is brothers. Three bird clutch, all male.

CCB thought he was a she 'n named 'im Camellia. Then they got 'im out the nest for bandin' 'n transmitterin'. Opps... Too late, they'd already plastered Camellia all o'er the 'net. He was banded NC 'n that was that. These days they wait 'til they know i.e., Grace (Gracie), banded MR 'n female.

Watched 'im learn ta eat on his own. Watched the three of 'em fight o'er food. Then watched 'em fight just for the hell of it. When they were little they'd burn the energy up 'n give out like ya flipped a switch. Face plant, beak first inta the nest. They slept a lot.

Watched 'im fledge. Scared the hell out the fat lady cuz I was yellin', 'JUMP, CAMMY! JUMP!' 'n he did.

'N one day he ner his brothers were left in the nest ta watch. Flew the coop.

Occasionally, someone'll grab a pic of a passin' eagle 'n notice the antenna. They'll check on the transmitter coordinates with the CCB 'n find out that's him. This'n was took out near the jail, out where Tom lives, by a Ms. Beverly Nettleton. Thankee, ma'am.

Almost all growed up 'n white on both ends. Adult feathers growin' in kinda ragged but they'll smooth out. Gonna be a fine catch for a young lady bird in the near future.

I think I have seen that one while out driving. Great pictures, we also have a lot of hawks out here and I enjoy watching them.

The weather cooperated and I got the mowing done.

[The Trinity Kid]

Hey y'all.  I'll put on some makings for coffee and other hot liquids.

Well, went to the city today, for shopping and dentist stuff.  Hot, muggy, and crowded.  Didn't even get all the stuff we needed, but we were not about to go into Costco...

Have gotten control of "the farm."  I'm also in control of a large amount of puppy slobber...    The turkeys are rather rude birds, with nothing against pecking the first convenient human body part available. 
Among other things, the low-beams in the headlights on our SUV are not working.  I had to drive across town in the dark with the fog lights as low beams, and high beams as usual.  Didn't see any law enforcement, so, I'm good right now.

I do have to head back to the Farm at 3am, to let the puppy out for a "pit stop."

Morning! slept'd in here a bit this morning. I don't normally sleep more than 5 hours. On any given day. I do occassionaly (quite often) nod out for 15 to 20 thru the day. Got mowing done off site- headed back to pile some downed pecan branches and rake the fodder up. If i don't finish today there is still 48 more left this summer. Still need to fire JD up here and spin a few circles. Tend to my small dirt patch of produce.

Just things to do besides play with these dogs, ehich can be time consuming at times. I was given a kennel over the weekend and that gives me and the trailer a break. When i have to go to work.
 I am currently waiting on a different clearence requirement(pee test was part pf it) to start at another client site, should be done on friday. So i have had most of this week off. I am taking temp spots to fill.

Major2's catfish has my brain mushy i guess i need to take a drive to the "Top of The River" in Albertsville. This is at lake Guntersville in case any of you are Rand McNallying. Bout a hour away.

TK domestic turkeys of any feather color- especially the males are a PIA . Thos is why the indians showed us how to eat them.

Anyhoos thanks for the coffee

I slept in this morning as well, My right hip hurt most of the night. None of the over the counter pain medications seemed to work. It feels like a 2 pot morning. I will prep one for later, as well as iced tea and hot tea.

[Major E A Sterner]

Mornin Y'all, just got back from the sawbones.Had some more "Pain management"(2nd time for these) shots in my back.If this doesn't help the next thing is a laser ablation to zap the nerve.The fun never ends.

[The Trinity Kid]

Morning y'all...  I'm not quite awake from my escapade in headlightless 3am drive... But, we did find the problem with the lights.  Single relay, but we flipped that with another, so we have headlights, but no engine fan.   that means we have exactly 0 fully functioning vehicles.  Kinda makes like a Hoover with a leak.

Great pic's Arcey now that i can see them...

Done for a day or two at the mowing.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Those aerial photos and some of the dates coincide with trips made to the offsite pantry and to St Brides Feed and Seed, so that eagle had to be what we saw.
