Ozzie, Sounds like you and Rachel had a nice weekend together. The National Portrait Gallery Exhibit looked like something both you and Rachel could enjoy.Three photos really stood out for me. Prince Charles, and Sam Sherpard posing with Jessica Lange, I love the black and whites. But I think the photo of Madonna is my favorite. |

Good morning, everybody! Hope all is well with everyone. Here's another new daylily from my garden. This one is actually "Spiritual Corridor". I got the names mixed up. The one I posted yesterday is actually called "Wineberry Candy". I like the ruffled edges.

CDN, They are both extraordinary. So is your garden. I love impatiens plants too. I used to grow them every year, but they die in the frost, so I planted year round plants. |

Good Morning Cruzers Happy Sunday.Here's a little more information on Bandit to start your day ![]() UPDATE FROM BEV DAY, AUGUST 8, 2009 Bev has sent the answers to a few more of our questions. #1 Any ideas of when Bandit will get his permanent ID band? Bandit actually already has his permanent band on. It was decided as the bander may not be able to get back when he was ready and I didn't want him to go without a band. #2 Does Bandit show enough aggression at feeding time in order to steal food from Buddy (his room mate?) We ask because he was a very mellow eaglet when Mom and Dad brought him food. So far he is not stealing food but has slowed down on asking for it. He is doing well with his wing exercises. We will see more aggression when he is put with other juvies in Field flights. At this time he has no reason to be aggressive as the birds are fed lots while in the interim cages. We do live feeding in the flight cage--- it is a must, especially when the parents have not yet taught them. This is another reason I want to get the pool cage pond finished with live fish in the pond which will make for easier training. We have access to live trout from the hatcheries. We try to release the eaglets while the adults are in the area as it sometimes means they will take over training as the sounds the eaglets make are distinct to each set of parents and I know I will be told different by David, but oh well. #3 Is it a problem for released juveniles to not have the proper hunting skills? Or is that something that they learn in rehab? With eaglets it's not as much as a problem as it would be for an actual hunting bird-- peregrine , etc , as both redtail hawks and eagles are opportunity hunters and will take dead road kills, etc. However, I like to have a few eagles in the area when we do the release. Bandits dad or mom may have actually been around today -- not on the usual poles but down further. I will keep eyes open. All the other eagles have disappeared from around here so there must have been a fish run of some sort. Eagles in the lower mainland don't tend to migrate as much as interior birds as it is not as cold around here. Yes I do know some leave but we do have year round residents. except for fish runs. I have observed over several years that the adults will actually stand back and let a juvenile have at least some of the prey that they find in the winter months when food is short before they actually either chase young off or steal food and it doesn't have to be the parents either. |
