I am going to have to tell you more about Alaska later. Meanwhile life races on like Secretariat at the Belmont Stakes.
I am live webcasting Noni, Buttons and Bows, which live in an ivy bush hanging off the side of an apartment entrance across the road. Buttons and Bows hatched about May 28. http://youtu.be/-GPji-_hKLQ http://youtu.be/cYfNOsZC_Bk
I am across the road because Flowers nest in our yard got destroyed. Flower has some time off now and I am not sure what that means for her nesting in our yard.
Meanwhile in Hummingbird hills, I am watching Coral, Crystal and Rose. All of them are sitting on eggs and in very different types of trees. Crystal is on a very thin Ocean Spray branch right beside a path about 5 ft off the ground, http://youtu.be/Xnt1gx0AJrQ http://youtu.be/vdqniPe74Q0 Rose is 10 ft off the ground on a long alder sprout arching over to form part of the roof of the brush http://youtu.be/46MaW_yVmDQ and Holly is in a holly bush only 2 ft off the ground. She is only protected because the holly is so prickly. http://youtu.be/ipHuUjQ490M http://youtu.be/jJ1kQ64gTlw http://youtu.be/QVLSp8BkMJE
I also found Dawn sitting right in the same spot as she has nested 3 times before. Right above the walking path, that means I’ll have a nice bench to sit on while I film the chicks. http://youtu.be/NL4ovSI4EHo
