Penny - You must be right, will have to wait for Cheryl to clarify what the swamp monster costume is.

I think CDN posted they dress that way so they don't look human.

Godspeed to little Pengra. :soar:

The swamp monster wears a large, dark tarpaulin and jumps and flaps out of the marsh (or field, pen, wherever needed), to spook the chick(s) and send them back wherever they are supposed to be. The trainers wear the white costumes so that they look as close as possible (in the eyes of the chicks) to adult cranes.

Hikers, this morning I thought, "This week is the week when Cathy's family arrives for their visit." It sounds like you have everything organized. Is the porch all set to be used now? I know it will be exciting just to see your photos of all the fun.

Laurie, nice way to start the thread. Penny, thanks for the hummingbird and Azalea photos.

Oooh, gorgeous photo, snagging that one, Topa.

I was searching, too. Here's a picture of the Swamp Monster :D . I had saved it for my whooper files at one point.

Cheryl - Thanks so much for clarifying the "Swamp Monster" costume, it is so funny. :D I am really enjoying the whooper cam, they are so cute. Will have to get up extra early and see if I can catch a training session with the ultralight.

They're a little sad right now and just want to stay in the box.
They said I pulled their feathers and the blings are a little too tight. :Hugs:

Aw, poor sore beanie baby eaglets. They'll get lots of love and hugs soon from the grandkidlets. Better rest while they can!

Carole, you will have better luck getting up early to watch the training. I will have to set my alarm for 7 am some day. I am definitely not an early bird any more.

g'day Peeps, just a fly by today, busy busy (with work, at least I have some).

I love slow cookers too, I have mine hooked up to a timer so that it kicks on whilst I'm out so that by the time I get home, Dinners Ready!

That little hummer is gorgeous. Swamp Monster?! LOL

running late!
