On Sunday, R and I went to check on Jack, the baby Bald Eagle [Click Here] and we saw him hangin out on his nest. But even more entertaining was what we're guessing were his 2 parents soaring over Grout Bay! They were circling below a 3rd adult Bald Eagle but I never could get all 3 of them in one picture. Here's a photo of the 2 soaring together:
After seeing the 4 eagles on Sunday, R and I went to Silverwood Lake yesterday. We took a walk across the dam and on our way back, this Bald Eagle flew low over us!
The cool thing about seeing these 5 eagles the past 2 days is that I gotta believe that, at this time of year, they're not looking to head north any time soon, (they would have already gone if they were going to) meaning they'll be in our local mountains throughout the Summer!
More eagles! Actually, I think this is the same eagle. We were sitting out on the deck at our cabin this afternoon with Frigg, Oden & Vidar, when R looked up and saw the eagle the first time and then I spotted it again about an hour later. This is the first time we've seen bald eagles flying over our place! But it makes us wonder.... how often does this happen and we miss it?

I guess they came looking for you this time... " A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money" -attributed to Everett Dirksen

We have sat on our back deck and watched them a lot last year, if as you say there are 3 to 5 around here we hope to see them all summer!! i love living up here. I don’t need your attitude thanks, I have one of my own!
Hug your family, reach out to your friends, and look around at all the new friends you've yet to make. Prayers to all those whose lives will never be the same.
Everyday I am thankfull for something. Today a friend said "Glass half full, be greatfull you have a glass. "I would add to that even if your glass is dirty be greatfull you have a glass to clean.
I'm thankful for the warm sun on my face when I wake in the morning, the whir of my ceiling fan cooling me as I go to bed, my soft puppie's fur snuggling up against me, the fact I have food to eat and family and friends that I love and that love me. Every day I wake is a new day and new chance to do better. I'm thankful for my friends on SCM, sho are always there for me, worried when I worry and this last year with my daughter's head on collision on Moonridge in Aug and then the fire up the block form my house a couple weeks ago have been trying but it is nothing like a tornado where the school is ripped to shreads. I am thankful I try to help people and for kind persons I see doing it too.
I'm thankful for each new day that brings opportunity, pause for thought and appreciation. I'm thankful for my family : the love, the chaos, the laughs, the tears... All of it. Signing off for tonight.
Orr Family Farm media inquiries might be worth a try: 405 609 7068 They might be able to refer them to someone. Its a nightmare now. There are many many horses unaccounted for and they are racing dark to find them and triage them. Identifying them might not happen right away. I'd be a wreck waiting to hear about my babies!
I'm thankful for my life, family and friends, including all my horses, dogs, cats, birds and every living creature that I take care of. I'm also thankful I have a bed to sleep in and a roof over my head. I'll be reall thankful for the survivors of all disasters that have happened lately...past present and future.
As always, thanks everyone for the updates. Continued prayers. 2013 has started off to be a year full of disasters, loss, and fear. Anyone care to share what they're thankful for?
