I'm happy that four of the eagles were released, but what a sad saga, Penny! I never thought about such a thing before, but all those poor birds saw was free food. It's horrible!

Penny,

What a wonderful story. How something that could have been tragic and avoidable turned out so great. Shame on those folks who didn't take care of disposing of the horse properly :angry:

I'm just so happy they are ok and returned to the wild where they belong :soar:

Panda updates

Tuesday, February 17
He may not be ready for actual mountains, but he's got his climbing legs and is ready to take on any small, well-built, wooden structure that doesn't offer too much of a risk and has something relatively soft below it.

Yesterday Heather and I were able to collect current measurements on the ever-growing Xi Lan. Keep in mind that these results may be slightly off due to the wiggle factor, as it is hard to get exact measurements when the subject is in constant motion. His body length (from tip of nose to tail base) is 86 cm. (33.9 in.), tail length is 11 cm. (4.3 in.), neck girth is 33.5 cm. (13.2 in.), chest girth is 47 cm. (18.5 in.), belly is girth 51.5 cm. (20.3 in.) and nose pad width is 4 cm. (1.6 in.). He currently weighs 10.1 kg. (22.3 lbs.).

And here’s a little more information for you panda fans: current weights on the other pandas. Lun Lun’s weight is ranging between 103-113 kg. (227-248 lbs.), Yang Yang weighs between 126-138 kgs. (277-304 lbs.), and Mei Lan weighs between 69-74 kgs. (152-163 lbs.). So, you can see Xi Lan has a lot more growing to do over the next few years!

Kathie, you and I both had the hummingbirds on our mind this morning.. at least yours builds a nest where you can watch.. I have no idea where mine might be nesting... looks like I have four or more birds..... Penny, the more colorful one is the male, like always with those birds.... would like to see another variety around like the rufus... my sister has those down near Dana Point... get a feeder and see if you can attract them...

I just can't imagine having a bald eagle in my lap and blowing air into it's beak either. How did she even know that would even work???? :><: :><: :><:

It may be possible that the ground is too frozen for the farmer to have buried the dead horse properly :unsure: In any case I guess a lot of people are more aware of how the 'trickle down' effects can negatively impact the food chain. :o

This is one of the reasons my son and DH do not eat any meat or poultry and in the case of my son, no eggs or fish or even items made with animal ingredients.

Lala - So far this year nobody is using the nest. I haven't given up though. There was LOTS of activity over the weekend so I'm guessing the Anna's males are back with only one thing on their little minds! :X:

Karen , my neice's little 7 year old was here for the 'party' on Valentine's day and sat near the feeder with her small digital camera, staying very still.. and finally the bird came and she got an amazing photo... she was so proud.. it was as large as the one I took and pretty much in focus.. so just get close and be patient.. :clk:
