A cool web site ...

It's spring !!!

On Sunday a large flock of pelicans flew over Minnedosa. There had to be 30 or more birds. They came in low from the south, circled the lake, then headed off to the north. There was little open water - so they continued on ther way north ...

But it is a wonderful sign of spring ... geese, robins, pelicans ... the harbingers of spring are arriving.

On Sunday night one of Mag's Birthday phone calls was from a friend in BC who while chatting told us of a very cool web site from Hornby Island ... it is a live web cam broadcast of a bald eagle nest !!!

As I type this entry, the sounds of birds chirping, crows sqwaking and the mother eagle screeching is echoing around our living room and drving one of our cats nuts !! (He's decided there's no birds in the house and has NOW resumed his nap ...)

It's a very cool site - I invite my readers here to check it out (high speed and broad band connections work best). It is worth watching (and listening to). In time there will be eaglets - and it will be very exciting !!

A BC sign of spring - nesting eagles ... thanks to the techies who have made this happen.

Watching the eagles and the pelicans - you can't help but say:
