Love it. Gorgeous portrait of Shelley.<BR/><BR/>I visited Maine this weekend and saw what appeared to be a juvenile bald eagle! It was early(ish) in the morning and only a few beachwalkers and dogs were out, but 2 or 3 people had crowded around to admire him. I took a few pictures and in a week or so that film (gasp, yes, film) will be done so we&#39;ll see what I got! <BR/><BR/>It seemed odd that he just sat there and didn&#39;t fly off like the gulls or sandpipers. He sat about 10 or 15 yards from shore on a rocky break. He looked rumpled, maybe wet. He lifted his tail feathers to &#39;void&#39; a few times. Then he started the dry heaves. He got sick once, maybe twice before I made my way back to a phone and called the local police. They said there wasn&#39;t much they could do and I couldn&#39;t find a local Fish &amp; Game or any other agency to call. What a bummer!<BR/><BR/>Do any of you experienced birders have any thoughts? Think it was a young bald eagle? Think he had some bad seafood? <BR/><BR/>Thanks!

There is just something so sweet about them. Glad this one continued to thrive despite the injury.<BR/>Awwww, look at Chet up there on the tractor! Priceless! :c)Jaynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14057094040409159429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-50228944527513021732008-10-05T19:45:00.000-05:002008-10-05T19:45:00.000-05:00Shelly's a spoiled box turtle - very luck to have found you, indeed!<BR/><BR/>Something about a Boston Terrier sitting on a farm tractor is rather odd...but SO CUTE.Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-69384579725309115002008-10-05T18:47:00.000-05:002008-10-05T18:47:00.000-05:00You're spoiling Shelly! When she gets turned loose, she will be very disappointed when baked squash, with sugar and vanilla, doesn't drop out of the sky onto her plate!<BR/><BR/>Nice turtle post.

All he needs is a bandanna.<BR/><BR/>I've got a Science Chimp question: why would a juvenile Cooper's hawk kill a chipmunk and then not eat it? I watched as a hawk squeezed its prey in the backyard, then hop to one side, stand there for awhile (2 or 3 minutes), hop up to a tree branch, hang out there for another 2 or 3 minutes, then circle the yard and take off. There wasn't any activity nearby and he didn't seem startled - just no longer interested.Maureenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11510694655266914556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19608656.post-63114471379613059852008-10-05T16:45:00.000-05:002008-10-05T16:45:00.000-05:00High ridin' Chet Baker.
