Neela for a hen ~ means Sapphire blue

Very, very cool.
A couple of years ago I got obsessed by the camera they had on an eagles nest in DC. It was amazing seeing them grow and my heart totally missed a beat when the first one fledged and it took her really long time to figure how not to just fall. And the remaining baby spent the next few days on the edge of the nest calling to his sibling and she was stuck on a branch nearby but hadn't figured out how to fly up and back to the nest.
They had raptor experts on line in shifts explaining what was going on.
I couldn't take my eyes off it!
Looks like these ones may soon be ready to leave home if they are flying back and forth from the nest!

I did that one year with one on Hornby island

We have been getting some violent weather recently. This was couple days ago 40 miles west of us. All the weather from west eventually reaches us. (usual Weather pattern travel direction).

Yesterday,,, afternoon, a quick storm arrived in a matter in minutes. I was outside doing things, then a few sprinkles,, then a downpour. Wind turned WICKED In the time for me to get my dog from backyard into the house,,,, I was soaked. My dog gets very scared of storms and thunder, and heavy rain ,, She was shaking when inside home,, She is also afraid of fireworks

Poor girl!
You've been having extreme weather for most of the summer haven't you? We're on our way home and I couldn't get the link you shared to open. I'll keep trying!

I finally got to watch it. That would be so scary! Thankfully they were able get to safety!

You stay safe too...

Hi everyone our mini trip is over & we're on the road home. We had such a lovely time.

One more view of the Eagles. I never did get a picture of the adults.

The rain is welcome,,,,,, but the tornadoes, and high winds associated could be left out. According to the weather person,,,, we are running lower than average on tornado touchdowns this year. I'm glad that most of the severe storm tracks have not hit us directly. Some pass to the north of us, and others pass to the south.
