Michele-I heard from Kris. Here's one thing she said-"We have a possible rental that we had an appointment to see last week that's not far from here, and will be putting in the application on Tuesday, so please keep your fingers crossed."

Jill glad you heard from Kris. She had mentioned something about an older couple who had a cottage type building they would rent also.

:X: they find something suitable with hot water soon. I'm sure they are very stressed :hair:

NBG Eaglets, Friday May 27

Today has been an exciting day for the eaglets. Exactly one month after arriving at the Wildlife Center from the Norfolk Botanical Gardens, one of the eaglets made their first flight!

One eaglet started off the morning by moving farther away from the nest on one of the branches:

By mid-morning, Eaglet #11-0476, NV, made his first flight to the step-branches on the other side of the enclosure. Viewers tuning in after that moment were surprised to just see two eaglets in the nest — remember, the temporary cam that was erected a few weeks ago can’t pan to capture the actions that are occurring to the right!

Posted Image

NV continued to make this flight back and forth to the nest several more times throughout the day. Sister NZ hopped along the branch — but even she wasn’t as flighted as her younger brother.

While there’s a lot of debate as to what is truly “branching” or “fledging” in a rehabilitation setting, we feel comfortable saying that the fledgling stage has started!

A crow sitting on the wires up high at the back of our yard kept talking to us yesterday & today. Flapping it's wings & tapping it's beak on the wires! I saw the neighbors cat in our yard this morning & thought that was why the crow was agitated. After church I went out in the back yard to pick up oranges that had fallen & that's when I found the baby crow. Couldn't fly, but could hobble on it's legs. So I got my DH to get a box & give me a towel & we went out to get the baby. Took him to the Wildlife Care Network, thankfully they're open daily! A whole hispanic family with two young girls had just brought in baby swallows. I was really proud of them & they even wanted to know if they could visit the birds! This family even donated to the network while they were there. I asked the girls if they knew about watching the bald eagles nests online & they did! They said "They're big now!" How about that! :D
