Texas

Here it is. :) I love it. I really need the trim painted now though. It looks so bad with the door!

I didn't have time to do the door right up by the glass so I will do that after work or tomorrow.
 
In the photos it looks white...wasn't it white before?


EDITED: My computer opened the photos as small the first time. Now it opened them as large photos...is the color a minty green? ....or is that my computer again. :)

What color are you going to do the trim in?

Good morning, everyone!

I watched my first baby hatch around midnight. It was something I'll never forget. It was a very special and awe-inspiring thing. Feeling all warm and fuzzy this morning... Much like my little Silkie baby, actually :)

I'd throw a picture up here, but I'm unable to. For some reason, BYC doesn't let me post pictures anymore!


That is so fun.
 
No, that wasn't boring at all! Very interesting, in fact and how very nice for the vet to take the time to teach you, too. The birds in the photo are beautiful, too. You can see how attentive their owners are. It reminds me a little bit of a car club in the US...everyone bringing their "babies" to put on display! :)

Great photo and story.

Not only did Jaime teach me a lot, he also treated my birds gratis. I tried to pay, but he said, no, it was a falcon hospital and a parrot (or my guinea pig) isn't a falcon so he can't charge me. He was like that. One day I went in to find a little baby bunny in a cage. I thought he might be using it for bird food, but no, a really young child (too young to know better) had thrown it off a balcony onto the concrete below. The parents, horrified, had brought it in for Jaime to try to save.

Those falconers really love their birds. They are so proud of them, they just beam when they show them to you. It is a very different and very interesting part of the world.
 
JaJeanPierre - I uploaded the video today of the white/muted colored hawk...first time I've done that so I hope it works. Edited: I was about a full football field away, so the picture is not the best.

Thank you! It looks like a Red Tailed hawk to me. Have you seen it again? I can send it to Jaime and ask him, but he's on a hunting trip in Pakistan.

Yes, I believe it is a Red Tailed. I have another video where I can clearly see very faint horizontal stripes running across the tail.

I thought I saw the hawk yesterday but I didn't take time to sit and watch. It was this time last year that the video was taken and he seemed to like our back wooded area but he never came close to the house or the chickens.

Maybe this year I can get closer for a better photo.
 
It's called Water Surface. I will either paint the trim Powdered Snow or Silver Sky.

I like the powdered snow with the water surface color. You didn't ask, but I can't help myself!! :D

The water surface look like the color of an EE'r egg. Did you know that Martha Stewart gets her color inspirations from her chickens egg colors? This is one of her photos that reminds me of your colors...very pretty together! I can't wait to see your final product.

Red Tailed hawks from the north do migrate. Maybe this one winters near your place. I don't know how loyal Red Tailed hawks are to their wintering grounds. There is an area--I can't remember where, maybe Pennsylvania? Michigan?--that has a relatively large number of white morph Red Tailed hawks.

Hawk trivia: You know that scary screeching eagle cry you hear in movies? That's a red tailed hawk call. Real eagles have an incredibly wimpy little chirp or yelp.
