WHAT???!!! It's 6:30AM here in Santa Barbara and I'm starting todays post!! I've just finished reading the thread in Assistance is Needed, Eagle D's new posting about the raffle, and all of your comments from Sept. 7. I was in Alaska at that time and missed the whole Hulabird tribute. I've been wondering how and when we could properly thank her for all she has done and WA-LA, it has already happened!!! Well, it couldn't happen to a nicer person. Late congratulations Hulabird, and many, many thanks for a job well done. Your continued support of the IWS work and our great forum is invaluable. I, for one, want to support you in your efforts. As a group, we seem able to acomplish just about anything, so the sky is the limit as we approach the new season!

I just wanted to say that I loved the interactive map of Cruz' travels that can be found on the IWS site. The best part is when you can see the switch to Santa Rosa Island. I'm going to be checking the "Track an Eagle" section every day. I miss you, Cruz! Thank you Dr. Sharpe.

Good morning all (well almost afternoon here) Glad to see Bixby's flying ears! Hope your unpacking goes smoothly and the settle in is quick!

I've read the update probably 5 times and made hubby read it toooo and showed him the map - and we got our "hoodies" as you call them - had them on last night! He wears his T-shirt as soon as I get it washed! Truly enjoying them! Love the map!! I think I should have become a biologist - what a great job with such positive rewards (hopefully most of the time)! AND YOU GET TO BE OUTSIDE -

Again a super big thanks to Dr. Sharpe and IWS!

Good Morning Everyone. Hope your day is going well.

Bixby, great to hear from you that your move went well.......except for the scare the night before of course......and that you are getting settled in ok.

copperwyrd, we did miss you.....hope that you will post more when work... and life... allows!

Patti, just want you to know that I think you are our Forum Warrior with all the letters you are sending about the ammo etc on Santa Rosa Island........ Well Done. I am sure they will start to take notice.

Have put some more of Roy's art on the Everything-else thread along with some information about Vancouver Island.

Our nest sure looks lonely........but at least we can see more of the patio area etc so it looks much bigger too.

Good morning all. Wasn't yesterday great? What an update! I just reread it for the (too embarrassed to say how many times) time. I love that picture of momma and A-62.

The interactive map is so cool. I love to resfresh it and start over. She is definately making her presence well known to the constituents in her queendom. I just hope she doesn't try to make that long flight to the mainland. Let the men come to you 49.

Sara, thank you for your kind words and for your touching PM. This was a group effort from the start. Something born out of our love for that little fuzz ball sitting in the middle of a nest. How could we resist?

We almost got all 8 nests this year. Next year, we're going to buy Santa Rosa from the hunters. If we put our minds to it and start now we could have this done by the end of next season.

Love to all. Have a great day and thanks for making yesterday so wonderful for all of us.

PS, last night while I was spending time with W for his birthday, I just couldn't wait to get back over here to see what was going on. It took forever to even have a "potty" break so I could sneak a peek. Good thing the birthdays are only once a year. Cramps my style. :P

It's almost afternoon, so can't say good morning~~

Thanks for the kind words---and I think I like the ring of Forum Warrior. What's funny is I'm such a small person. Sometimes I think short people like to squawk the loudest because they figure nobody will get mad at them. (Even if they can't see me.)

I wanted to check in, but am worried about Joy, my Umbie, who I know is in the egg-laying mode, but unfortunately, I am her mate. Something is off today, so I'll watch her. Last year she laid one or two eggs (for me) :( without a problem. I can't get her off my mind. She's such a pretty girl--she's an 8-year-old. Still a young cockatoo. Their mom & dad have already mated today.

A quick check-in...the nest looks much better today...or perhaps it's the time of day. Seems to be a lot of clouds passing over which helps with not so much contrast from the sun hitting certain spots maybe?

A reminder: if you haven't filed your 2005 tax returns, the final deadline is Monday!

Ok...back to work.

Hi Debi,

I had to quit my job, the boss was a raving monster and I didn't like being bullied, so I am back working for my mom and this is good. How is everything? I think it is going to take me a month to get all caught up! Yikes!

Anyhoo, how are you?

We're doing great! I'm glad you got yourself out of that bad situation. Life is too short to work in a job you hate. That's why in my next life, I'm going to conquer my terrifying fear of heights and be a wildlife biologist.

PS I can't find the pix threads. That whole bottom section is missing on my computer. Anybody else? MUST.HAVE.MY.DAILY.DOSE.OF.PIX!!!!

We had one or two that we caught at Cruz's nest. You'll find while catching up (don't miss yesterday's weekly update) that our little love is visiting her subjects on Santa Rosa Island. (don't miss the Santa Rosa thread). The trip is coming up next Sunday! Oh man, I can't wait for them to get back and start posting pics and tales of the day. Speaking of pics, I'm having a problem finding them right now but LOTS of people have been posting and you just can't miss that area either. A lot of activity including nestorations on the West End Nest. I'm just happy you're back!

OK that's IT! WHERE are the pix threads?

Patti-anything on Joy yet? I'm worried. Keep us updated on anything new.

Oh and I almost forgot, Bixby welcome back girl. It just isn't the same around here when you're gone. Glad you're getting settled in.
