Uncooperative

Amazing...three entire days since my last post. The birds are being a little secretive. I caught the brown one sitting on the nest this morning...first time in three days...the birdies might be hiding in the woods to beat the heat during the day. Hopefully, with the cooler weather...the birdies will be ready for a close up...(sorry D. - hope to get new pics soon)

However, we have some more tenants around that Jason got a picture of recently. Unfortunately for them, the "relocation crew" will be coming over today to give them their "eviction" notice.

Meet the new neighbors

Here they are!! I caught them this morning fluttering around. It will be awhile before we know if they have laid their egss yet. I don't know if it is the same couple from last year,or one of their offspring, or a new family? But the coloration and markings on the brownish bird looks alot like the same type that was here last year.

For those who are close by, be very careful when you come over. They do make a lot of noise and chaos when they sense someone is nearby. You should have seen the commotion I caused by getting these pictures from in the house. :)

As a sidenote for those far away and interested in the human tenants, not much is going on here. I have applied for a permanent position with my job. If I get it, no more year to year contracts and fretting over the prospect of not having a job....if I last the year long probation...heehee!!  Wezul's switch back to electrical engineering has gone well. He enjoys his new company. We are hoping that neither one of us will have to travel for some time. Since January, Wezul has been in either VA or SC and I have been to Asheboro and Denver.

No bird sightings yet

We haven't seen the new tenants yet. They have been leaving their stuff behind.

The picture on the left was taken 6.4.08 and as you can see on 6.6.08 there is more of a foundation to the nest.

Our house wasn't built in a day either.

:)

Getting Excited

Last year, a bird's nest was formed by our front door. Today, we discovered that it appears that another nest is being formed. We documented last year's batch of birdies in pictures. We will do the same this year if they do lay their eggs in the same place, and I was worried I wouldn't have anything to blog.

It is sad...really sad...I know. I need help!?!?!!

But it is so cool seeing these little creatures grow.

3 OTs

It took three overtimes, but the Pens came out on top. Tonight is Game 6...the final series stands at 3-2 in Detroit's favor. :(

Series like these...is one reason why we watch Hockey....

Though the Pens are not our team...which is the Carolina Hurricanes...my first memories of hockey are of my mom talking about Mario Lemieux who played for the Penguins. Jason grew up in Iowa and would go to games that sprouted up between the corn stalks...just kidding...but he has attended his fair share of amateur games.

We had one of those lifetime dreams come true back in June of 2006 when we saw the Hurricanes win Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals in person. Staying connected.
