Thanks for the info on the Norfolk eaglets, Penny. They grow up so fast.  Looking forward to the video of Lala and your photos, Topa. Kris, next time I'm near a large tree I'll lean my back against it. That should be interesting. You found a treasure in that gnarly oak tree, and I think the beauty standing under it is the best part. Sorry to read that Ed suffered from his walkabout. Even though it hurts it's good for him to get some exercise. Good for both of you for persisting with the landlord now that the renewal is set for another six months. Bet he got a surprise, thinking that you had given up hehehe. I think the best way I can describe the trees in Muir Woods is that I was aware of them being living, growing plants, but I also felt as if they were living beings somehow. Sounds strange but true. Trying to type quickly before Mia gets into more mischief.

 Buddy Training Update  Image WCV April 21 update from Claire Thain Buddy continues to become more comfortable with staying on the glove for extended periods of time. He will also sit on the perch as I attach the swivel and leash. Therefore, he has moved to the next step – introducing him to the idea of going through the door of his enclosure. Buddy’s enclosure has a “double door” system, meaning that there is a secure passageway attached to the back of his enclosure. Most of the WCV flight pens have this system — it makes entering and exiting cages much safer because it helps prevent escapes. For Buddy, this means he will need to learn how to navigate through two doors while remaining on the glove. Buddy seems to be comfortable with going through the first door – from the enclosure to the passageway – but gets nervous once he moves out in the passageway. To help with this process, a “mailbox perch” was built by WCV volunteer Bob Post. The new perch is in the shape of a giant mailbox and is sits on the ground. Over the past few weeks, I have trained Buddy on this new mailbox perch inside his enclosure. Yesterday, the perch was moved out into the passageway to provide a familiar landmark to Buddy in this new environment. If he is too nervous continuing to sit on the glove once he’s in the hall, he then has the option to fly to this perch. The goal is to work at his pace and train him to stay on the glove as he goes through the doors. Video of Buddy’s training March 2011 (1:54) |

George and Katie are the best of friends. Topa, awesome photos of your lake outing. I agree with Penny, your eagle photos are really special!! Congratulations! The green hills remind me of photos of Ireland.

Hi, Everyone. I am so far behind, I will probably never catch up. After the trauma of our Tornado Saturday, just haven't felt like posting. I will probably try lurking for awhile. I hope everyone is doing well. (((hugs))) |
