I've been crazy busy. I have done so much in the past few days, I can't even begin to sum it up here. I am tired and my shoulders are aching.

HOWEVER, we have a vegetable garden. That is the best, most important Good Thing, and the best, most important result of the last few days.

And my hawk babies are growing and doing quite well:



I love when Mama is sitting on them and one of them pokes out from under, like "HEY! What's going on out here!" And then, here, they all came popping out, one after the other: Wobble, Bobble, and Doddy, all three. It's nice, out, for a moment. They want to look around and soak up the day.

Earlier today, Papa stopped by for a feeding. He and Mama got all kissy-face with each other. (Actually, they're ripping apart some bloody pigeon guts. But I like to call it "kissing".) Red-tailed hawks mate for life, by the way.

That nest has been pretty gory lately! Lots of nasty, bloody carcasses. They need to do some housekeeping.

When I tuned in a little while ago the babies had been left alone. I saw one baby shoot out a squirt of poop! :o)
