Look at that shiny coat! Buddy looks great! We knew that it would just be time.... we are going to go say hi to the vet just to show them the difference.. I spoke to them on the phone today & they can't believe it :o)
Buddy & I are going to go meet a possible family for him on Friday... they used to have a weim but lost her 2 years ago to old age she was 13. They are now ready to have another gray kid in their life so we will see if it is the right fit. Keep your fingers crossed for us :)
An hour and a half after sunrise and much heavier fog than I had expected. I don't think I've ever seen a male Northern Harrier perched for so long, fluffed up against the cold. Took me a while to wrap my brain around the ID.
My wife's family was visiting from out of state. We decided to visit Southport, NC on Saturday. Photo taken from the shore of the Cape Fear River in Southport. Near the end of our visit, a Brunswick County Sheriff boat accompanied a tow boat towing a sailboat.
Plaque in Warrenton, VA dedicated to the history of Civil War Confederate Col. John Singleton Mosby aka the Gray Ghost. It was President Abraham Lincoln who named Mosby "The Gray Ghost." The Union Army's biggest fear in Washington was that Mosby would kidnap Lincoln from right beneath their nose. Lincoln, upon hearing several of his generals discussing Mosby and their fears, loudly announced, "Listen to you men, you speak of Mosby as though he is a ghost, a gray ghost." It wasn't until after the war that Mosby learned of this and that the nickname stuck.

Lylah decided that the whole retrieving the fish thing was cool!
They will retrieve practically anything! This was one of the smaller fish too, they were ugly & huge!
This is the last in the little set ofr playing with the fish!
The preceding sticker works well to grab your attention because the brite pink contrasts highly with the drab gray sign back. These black and white stickers are all but lost in the gray.
Speaking of which, the ugly battleship gray paint here is the work of Fred Radtke, a frustrated artist whose attempts at grafitti can only be seen as amateurish at best. Radtke claims to be "helping" to fight graffiti with his pathetic slatherings of Battleship Gray, but he actually creates more graffiti than he covers. Writers and stickers actively seek out Radtke's gray blobs as they create near perfect frames to showcase their work. To date, Radtke has inspired more artists than he has stopped and he has actually slopped more paint on public spaces than the most prolific writers could ever hope to.
Keep up the good work Fred!
After the interaction between the two male Northern Harriers, the chase began. Only it was very slow. Kinda funny to watch.
One of the last birds I saw for the day and it was the best. The light was right and he flew right in front of us.
A special thanks to the park employee at Hayward Shoreline Winton Avenue. He was kind enough to come looking for us to let us know the gates closed at 5:00 pm. It was almost 5:45 when he found us. I didn't get his name, but I really appreciated him looking for us. I know that won't happen again. Whew.
A red-winged blackbird chasing away a much larger northern harrier. I'm guessing there is a nest nearby.
