I know this photo doesn't look like much, but see those four blobs in the tree? Herons and their nests! A couple of miles away from us there's a rookery. I counted 6 nests in two trees, and I know there are more. They like the sycamores. I wonder if it's because of the structure of the branches. Those nests are big!
It warmed up earlier this week and so we moved the birdfeeder out to the driveway island. The birds didn't mind, and we're hoping it reduces the number of birdbrains that fly into our windows.
We've been seeing thousands and thousands of geese streaming overhead in big vees. Down the hill by the river, they lose their formation and becoming a roiling mass. Yet another sign of impending spring.
When I walked into Orschlen Farm store this afternoon, the sound of baby chickens filled the air. I immediately forgot what I had come for and followed the sound to the incubators in the back of the store. The labels under the baby chickens got my attention all right. The camera focused on the bars and blurred the chickens. Louie wants chickens, but I insist that he build a fortress home first. We have so many predators not to mention us humans.
I guess I'd better get started again. Not taking pictures for Two Eye made me get lazy about taking them at all. So, here we have another Lakeview photo of geese.
These beauties freely roam Kauai. We found out that they are not to be called chickens or roosters. They are, in fact, tropical or jungle fowl brought to the island from Polynesia. They are protected.
