Chat - Friday, June 29, 2012, Enjoy your day Peeps!

A message from Raptor Resource Project----

The Raptor Resource Project will be turning off our Decorah eagle cam, moderated chat,
and social stream at 8:00pm on June 30th, 2012.

The eaglets will have fledged and will be spending less time on the nest. We'll use the off
season to test and install new cameras, computers, and audio equipment for the 2013 nesting
season, build and deploy peregrine and kestrel nest boxes, and begin our pilot kestrel program.

Memories from the past few days. Godspeed to all the Decorah Eagles

DD and GD sweating it out in D.C. until tomorrow...85 degrees at 8AM in D.C. today!!! Then north to Boston via train to hook up with SIL and GS. They decided on a train trip to check out colleges for GS on the east coast. Hope the air conditioning is pumping on high for tomorrow's 8 hr. train trip.!!!!

Gonna be another HOT one here today...high of 27C/81F which is a perfect day

Garden has been watered as the heat is already here Yesterday everything got a really long soaking with the sprinkler, so today was just doing the planters as they dry out so fast especially when it is windy, like it was yesterday.

Chiquita your GS is going to have an exciting few weeks scouting out Universities. I hope they all really enjoy Montreal when they go in check out McGill

Kudos to you Marsha and all the people who help out with the feral cat cllnics

There must be a huge population of 'wild' cats in San Diego

All 3 West End eaglets together. K-27 on cam pole, K-24 lying down & #3 at back of nest.

THE HOUSEFINCHES WERE NOT HAPPY CAMPERS EITHER YESTERDAY WITH ALL THE COMMOTION AROUND "THEIR CONDOS".

Have fun today Cat



Hope the big ones are biting for you

Karen that was such a lucky 'break' for you. DH is on the ball Your garden looks lovely with all your patriotic accoutrements...what is painted on the trunks of the oleanders? Is that to repel insects

DITTO!!! MARSHA , YOUR DEDICATION TO THIS PROGRAM IS STELLAR! There must be a small army of people out there in S.D. rounding up these feral cats!

Apologies if this is a repeat..

When did you last have to do this at the beach???

Penny...DD had meetings at George Wash. University yesterday and today which took some time from their travel schedule. McGill was on their college list but, unfortunately, had to be dropped as there just wasn't enough time to fit it in. Your video was just wonderful and I know GS plans to apply there even though he won't see the campus first hand...it's so beautiful. GS will be checking out Princeton today. He did the west coast last year and finished up with a short trip this past spring. So, so many decisions for them.
