One scrap yard dodged by the 91s, it won't last though, the three 91s to Newport. I would have photographed them closer to the camera but for the cloud rushing past. Thanks to gen providers.

The Scotia provider is being reworked on the dock on St George Street...on the water front. This repair facility is right there among all the tourist shops, etc. It was really interesting to see the progress that they have made in the past few days.

This little chap brought great news today A new mate. I found a dead owl about six weeks ago under the roost, so was fearful we wouldn't hear the patter of little owlets this year. All looks good he is charming her with gifts of food and judging by the state of his plumage nesting is well underway.

Check out those talons. Without them no food would be found. Red tail along Lake Michigan.

Clark's grebes with two chicks and one fish on Lake Almanor, Plumas County, California.

Although Northern California got quite a lot of rain last winter, only 100 chicks hatched this year from 700 nests on Lake Almanor. Why? The water level dropped too rapidly due to a release that occurred a few weeks before this photo was taken. These two chicks were among the 100 that hatched in the three days before the release.

The grebes whose first nesting attempts failed were building new nests. Perhaps their second nesting attempt will be successful.
