hi every one, i am happy to say we made it thru the storm. boz did not like the wind and rain when he had to potty. lost power for about 2 hours, was getting ready to start generator when it came back on lol you all told me to let you know that we were safe but boy is my yard a mess!!!
yeah!! a happy report for a change. So glad you’re OK. sorry about little boz.
thanks it was a scary day for sure.
We are finally getting some captures trickling’s in from our ground photographers. Here are the cam trees, the pond cam tree is down but the nest tree and cam #2 is fine. Hopefully once power comes on we will start seeing our nest again. NO Water in the area or on the property at all.
so glad to see most of that spanish moss is off the nest tree, that was kiling it
Good afternoon, I was gone all morning, but mods have been busy, this was posted earlier, its a photo of the tree and pond cam that went down, tree that is cam is fine. Hopefully as news tickles in we will continue to have good news. I will keep you posted as we receive it.
Thank you so much . Everyone be safe
Yes and the horses are too
Thanks Nancy.
I am happy to do it as we all have been so upset not knowing, I will continue posting for all of you until the cams go live again.
Thanks to Nancy and Bob for all the info you provide. The prelude has been written to the book which we will all read as this story unfolds. I’m thankful one eagle has been spotted. I’m hopeful the final chapter will be all about E21 and 22.
Hello Members I see Bob posted the info we received late yesterday, such good news, We have several ground photographers who are members in our group and they are starting to supply photos of nest area for us. We are hopeful Harriet and M15 will start building soon, they will not have to go far to hunt for materials I am sure. I will check in as I receive information for you.
