Koo's First Night Out!!

Still MT nest....

Finney Nest Pictures

Koo and a misty sundown...

"Oh Boy! Mom's bringing breakfast!"
Mom left in a flash. Well, where did it go? No one's eating. Did she bringeth and taketh away?

Maybe Koo tricked Sib and sat on it, because a mystery fish has now appeared!

Koo Maybe Brings Fish to Nest

Here's Koo with a WHOLE fish!! (the next pic shows one that's been cleaned by Dad.) This one has NOT been cleaned, so she might have gotten it herself somewhere.

This capture by SGB of Bird Cams Around the World forum.

Correction-----someone on a forum captured a sequence of shots right before this and about 2 minutes previous, the male had flown in with this fish.

What a Difference a Day Makes!

After the crummy AM, Monday evening was the greatest!

Nighty-night and Messy AM in Finland

"Yuck! Rain, rain go away"....

"If you won't, then I will!"
There was a lovely night a week ago... This is the night before the wet morning at top ...

Koo Awaiting Sunrise, Aug. 13

Baby Rabbit 8-10-09

Here's the cover or "lid" of grass and fur over the den......

He was out this morning! Luckily was sitting next to a leaf for a size comparison.
Empty nest--guess there was only one......

Painted Buntings in Bastrop, TX

These birds do not cooperate for the camera. Daughter, Sherry, has been trying for a long time to get a good picture. If we could see a side view, there would be green wings and back as well as the red and blue.

Nice Visitor and Park Osprey

This cardinal somehow was able to visit "Magnolia Acres" without being bombarded by the house wrens that had taken up residence.

We don't often see an osprey at the new Park cam nest anymore...
Some of the family in the new platform nest. They were a little behind schedule due to building a whole new nest. The male had another nest before, closer to trees and lost his mate last year from predation by probably a Great Horned Owl.

Pair on the original camera nest had no family. She is a new mate also. Same thing occurred at this nest last year....

The light green feathery plumes on the lime green stalks are wild rice.

Robins Fledge

First sightings of both chicks after leaving the nest......

Baby #1, not too far from the nest

Baby #2

Robins July, '09

Second to eating, swimming was a favorite sport......

Koo Wingercising & Flying!! 8-9-09

This is a capture by Renandeli which must be right after the following picture. Was reported Koo was gone for more than a minute!

This is a capture early in the morning made by George of a Bird Cam Forum

More Hailuoto

Here is Koo wingercising. Note that when a little off the ground, the bad leg hangs down somewhat. "Knee" may be frozen, but hip seems to be OK.

Finland sunset......

Finney Ospreys

All of a sudden Mom gave the command and the three chicks hit the deck...

Soon, it was recess!!!

Baby Boy wingercising.... Baby Boy chowing down. He had fish all over his belly, so finally sat down to hold it with his good foot....

Day is done and all is well

Finland Nest

"Whole lot of flappin' going on!"
