The koi are ready for spring like the rest of us!!!! The water temperature is warming and they are swimming and wanting food already! lol Must admit I miss them in winter!! Hope one and all have a great Monday!!
Last summer, I divided my Iris. When you divide them, you lift a clump and break the new side rhizomes away from the old main one, replant the smaller ones and discard the old centers. So imagine my surprise to see these Iris growing in our compost pile from the old centers. I guess there was life in them after all!!!
It will be interesting to see if they bloom there!
On my first day sitting in a blind near the Peregrine eyrie (and every time after) I was constantly terrified that I would cause a disruption. Peregrines are very sensitive near their young and will spend all of their energy trying to drive away a perceived threat. Therefore I had to be extremely cautious to avoid preventing them from tending to their nestlings. Dressed in camouflage from head to toe and draped in my camo fabric that I used as a blind, I slowly eased down the slope onto a ledge. There was a large tree to my right keeping me from getting too close to the edge and that provided additional cover. Once settled on the ledge I waited to see how the falcon would react. As I watched she preened and walked over to the cave to check in on her young that were out of my sight. Then she flew up to this ledge and fanned her feathers in the sun. All of these behaviors are very natural for a Peregrine who is comfortable and not stressed. She had not detected my presence. My feat had been a success! May 25, 2016
