Topa, what a wonderful Smilebox presentation! And Kudos to all the NAC ladies you highlight. :><: Great to see all of them represented together. :)^

I'm sorry to not have been able to check in the past few days. :( "Life happens"... And there's not been much new to report from here anyway. I did take a few indistinguished pics of some local Coots and their brood of 6 in a nearby canal. (My low end Canon doesn't do wildlife pics proper justice, and the Sun has been absent for weeks hampering any kind of decent photography.) :( I only post these for the interest factor of the strange looking feet of the adult Coots, and the so funny looking though very cute chicks. This Momma Coot had a piece of bread (whole grain :P ) in her beak, but it was the only pic I could get as she moved so quickly. These guys live on the canal behind the High Street in the small town of Marlborough where we go to get organic groceries every week.

I still check in on the German Storks that now are brooding three chicks on their rooftop nest.

The weather here still continues to break seasonal records for rain and cold, and we're taking our vitamin D and B supplements to fend off SAD . :'(

Lady of the Loch, the 27 year old Osprey in Scotland's, eggs are due to hatch in the next couple of days if the unseasonable bad weather hasn't caused them to faii as they thought happened last year. Prayers for her brood this year. :X: Live webcam.

Loved the Smilebox NAC Topa :chk:

Thanks for the NX release video Carole :)^

Kris I have never seen coot feet close up...they remind me of those long thin balloons that people make into animals by blowing different sizes and twisting them into shape. How does she swim with those things ? :blink:

Jill that is a very cosy looking quilt. Whoever gets it will be so happy, just like you are in that :clk: :D

Had a crazy busy day today and it ended with a big thunderstorm :rn: and lightning.
Siobhan was in a panic when we got home just before 10:00 PM Posted Image

Things semed to have calmed down now, but I'm heading to :Zz: as it is almost !2:30 here.

Lily the Black Bear – UPDATE May 18, 2012

Break-up status


Posted Image :clk:
Lily making tracks after breakup with Faith - May 7, 2012

Jo and Victoria have split. From Jo’s movements, we suspect they split about 7 AM this morning. That’s when Jo began a fast 4-mile trek off to the other side of her area. We spotted her about 7 PM alone.

June still can’t seem to give up Aster and Aspen. They were together at 8 PM this evening. June was as good as ever with them, grunting her concern at any vocalization from either of them and deferring to them when they wanted to eat.

As of this evening, Donna was still with her 3 yearlings as well. Shadow has not been seen recently so we are unsure whether she has her 3 yearlings with her still.

A video of Lily taken within hours of her breakup with Faith on May 7 has been posted on YouTube. This video is a bit different in that Lily was on the move – and so was the camera. You, too, can follow Lily through the woods as she straddles trees to leave her scent and carefully sniffs branches to pick up the scent of others.

Beyond that, the temperature reached 87 F today and tonight feels like a balmy summer night, with spring peepers, gray tree frogs, and the first American toad calling. But unlike summer nights, with this drought, there is hardly a mosquito. We would gladly take mosquitoes any day over the threat of forest fires from the drought.

Because the BBC was in the midst of their live broadcast of Planet Earth Live: Episode 6 when word came in about the forest fire just outside Ely, viewers around the world learned about the fire before many right here in the north country. Learn more at 'Ely fire gains quick worldwide attention' here and 'Winds worry fire crews as they battle to contain blaze near Ely' here.

Thank you for all you do.
