These chicks were born last monday
They were 3 days old when I did this new photo
Now they dare to swim around the nest
And they know what is food
You wan see how they watch parent coming back with food
As the ilse is closed now (covid), I did the photo from the other side, so distance is lower (7m-10m) but sun is in front.
At this point water depth is 1m-1.5m coot did a nice work to build this nest.

that's the day i was born and hence, i had a birthday on april 9th, 2009! AHHHH!
it was a fun day. though it ended with bloatedness after drinking a soy chai at a restaurant. it was the powder mix chai, which, from experience, tends to be laden with dairy... Oh NOES! . . .
in any case, it was still fun. a guy gave me a HUGE purple cellophane wrapped basket of homemade peanut butter cookies he made himself, pretty white roses, funny balloons, and a card about BOOTYBUTTS (the card i received at work was about a toilet and poo... ironic much?)! his mom got me a to-die-for gift card to starbuck's (i whole-heartedly support the local coffee and tea shops, but sometimes, they just aren't around when you need 'em the most!)
then he and i went out to breakfast/lunch/brunch/whatever you wanna call it at T.C. Eggington's. they have great vegetarian choices... "portobellini"... yum! on the way to breakfast, we saw a mother and her tiny baby ducks by the freeway in the puddle-y canal/gutter/whatever you wanna call that. it was cool because it was my birthday and they were cute, yet odd because it was by a freeway and not in a park, or in my school's irrigation or something. them duckies must be suffering economically too, eh?
so after that, i contemplated going back home to work on a commedia dell'arte mask for theatre class, but decided to just veg and hang with this guy at his apartment (i find vegging out, doing nothing a bit difficult to do sometimes).
later on, we met up with my parents to eat dinner at the Euro Cafe in Gilbert, AZ. a great foodsie greeky place. and that's where, you know, *ahem*... the soy-chai-laden-with-dairy-omg-why-did-i-order-this fiasco happened. so after dinner, with all of us feeling like cows (even though i hardly ate anything and they ate like contestants in a hotdog eating contest), we went to Wal-Mart of all places. i'm particularly NOT a Wal-Mart fan, but since i was at Wal-Mart and it might be cheaper than at other places, i bought vanilla soy ice cream because i was magnetized/hankering for some.
we finally headed home around 11pm, after which i quickly shoved this guy out the door and kissed him goodbye, so i could heat up some of those peanut butter cookies and WHAM BAM!... inhale hot cookies n' ice cream. mmmmmmmmmm... no cake this year. and i wanted it that way. no one even sang to me either i noticed, but that's perfectly ok. it's not a crime. wait wait...i take that back: he played the weird al birthday song... so essentially, i was sung to in mp3 format. :)
oh yeah, and at work today for my 'employee birthday'... i made up fruit, granola, & yogurt parfaits for everyone. someone bought all the ingredients (i requested it instead of birthday cake), and i went right to work -- whipping up those babies during my lunch break. i was so amazed some people didn't know what a parfait was or how to make them.
well, now they know :)
suffice to say, i'm on a parfait kick now. i hadn't had one in a year before that day. soy yogurt though. yes, please. :)
p.s. thanks dude for taking these kickity arse photos!

Lyrics
I'd give my heart to this place
I'd give my soul or whatever it takes, never run away
I've got enough angels to storm the gates, I'm not afraid
And behold the brave, not have it no other away
I miss the emergence and these moments of you
The mere reflection of me, that mirror can't change its view
So until those rivers run out, it runs through me
Wherever you are, I'll bе there
We carry on
Born again
I'd give my heart to this place
I'd give my whole soul and whatever it takes, never run away
And I'd relive this just to see your face again
I know that you'd do the same, born again
Just tell me what I need to do
I'd die and come back just to love you
Just tell me, I'm begging you
Just tell me what I need to do
" Happiness is strange;
it comes ... when you are not
seeking it.
When you are not making an
effort to be happy, ... then
.... unexpectedly, .... mysteriously,
...... Happiness is there, .....
born of purity, ...of loveliness of being. "
- Jiddu Krishnamurti

This is the first of two catbird young ones to hatch. The nest is in a hedge near my office. I have been checking the progress of the nest since I first discovered it. Curiously, about 10 days ago I discovered 3 eggs in the nest. The following day there were 5. The day after that there were only 2. My ID guide says they usually lay 4 eggs so I'm not really sure what's up with the missing eggs. This little fellow is just a few hours old. There were two eggs last night. I am being as careful as I can to be considerate of the parents who seem not particularly concerned with me taking a quick peak every now and then. If I felt I was stressing them I would just leave them be. The parents feed daily at the suet feeder at my office window.

It may not be the actual first born grebe baby but it was the first time I caught a feeding by daddy. This was before he started catching fish for the babies.
I do not know how about you but if you are born and grew up somewhere than whole world is measured to that experience, meaning if you are from Gent anywhere you go you'll try to find Gent back and that will be very difficult task.
As many of you know I'm from Prague and anywhere i go I literealy look to find Prague back, there is a street in Utrecht where I have found it back, there are spots in London, Paris or Berlin too even in Rome and yes there is one beautiful medieval building at the river in Gent where I have found Prague back too.
