Good morning!
AMPS 124 shooting 1.75u

Boomer ate all of his overnight fuds except about half of his +6.
Allen was fasted last night, has received his alendronate, and will get to eat in about an hour.

Boomer's weight this morning 16.2 lbs not losing any on this diet lol but at least he's not gaining any either.
Allen's weight is 9.6 lbs and his fasting BG 50

Today's picture was taken the other day at one of my favourite spots, Greenway Park. This is an Osprey. I have photographed him several times as he's always cruising down the Thames River looking for a snack. But I've never actually seen him in a tree! He did have a catch when I first got there.

Nice start for Boomer. I hope he heads to the lagoon and surfs. Glad Boomer is not gaining more weight. Great picture.

Have you ever seen a Northern Shrike?

Have you ever seen a Northern Shrike?

No I don't believe I have!

 

[Mandy & Rex (GA)]

No I don't believe I have!

I had the privilege of seeing one during my ornithology class in college when we were in a van. Our first clue a shrike was around was the fact there were no other birds around.

Nice start Boomer.

Nice cycle for Boomer. And great action shot of the osprey. I'll have to google the Northern Shrike; I have not heard of it.

Boomer is lookin' good.
What a great action photo of the Osprey. I love seeing them. In one of the villages in our area the ospreys were nesting on the telephone poles, so the village put up special poles with platforms for them, but they preferred the telephone poles. So the village built nesting platforms on the telephone poles and everyone was happy.

We did that too here. They were nesting on lights so the city put up platforms on poles. They continue to nest on the lights lol.

Awesome surfing Boomer!

Ospreys used to nest in the trees across the road from the grain elevators on the waterfront. Pigeons hang around the railroad tracks there. Very easy pickings for osprey. Then the trees were cut for road expansion.
