The Baby is Here

This morning I get up and check on the eagles.  All is well.  Then I check on April and what is that?  OMG there are hooves popping out.  So about 3 hours later the baby is here and so cute.

Looks Like a Carrot To Me

They are growing like weeds.  The baby talons look like carrots with a spike on the end.

We all know what happens when they back up, you better duck unless you want to get hit by the PS.

The Shack

I read the book over a year ago and loved it. I saw the movie today and loved it even more.  I know there are those out there who think the book is anti-Christian and full of un-truths.  I don't believe that is true.  I do believe that the God I believe in can do anything to help deal with the grief and loss and guilt they feel over something that happened in their life.  It is about a man who can not deal with the loss of his child and learns to deal with the tragedy in his and his family's lives.  It is not a movie for everyone but if you read the book and liked it go see the movie because the book comes alive and a couple things make more sense in how they chose the people to play God in the movie.  It is one of those movies that you truly need to spend the rest of the day not doing much because it will wipe you out.  And take lots of kleenex.

The First Escapee

Every year there is one that just has to be outside the nest cup and it has barely been a week and my bet is this is D26.

Is it Christmas Already?

My Christmas Cactus is blooming and it looks like a double bloom. Also my shamrock is blooming as well. It appears to be happier in the kitchen than in the room with the rest of the plants.

Look How Big They Are Already

Squirrel or fish, take your pick for dinner.

Spring is Here

Welcome D28

D28 arrived this morning, when I can get a picture I will post it.  We have 3  bobbleheads to watch this year. Let the bonking begin.  April those eagles are going to fledge before you have your baby.

D28 is on the Way, Looks Like 3 for This Year

We have a hatch in progress for the third and final egg in Decorah:www.ustream.tv/decoraheagles! Here is a quick recap of everything happening at our nests.

April and Oliver

SQUEEEEE

Can they get any cuter

You Can Barely See Me

D27 is almost here! Thanks to Glogdog for the cap.  Look at the egg in the middle beside D26 and you can see D27 part way out.

D27 on the Way

It appears D27 is halfway out of the shell so today we will have another new eagle to celebrate.  Now if only April would have that baby giraffe, well she will when she is ready.
