Beautiful Blessed Sunday everyone!


Wow dsgard, great pics of a beautiful area! It made me want to be standing there with you.
ChickenCanoe I really enjoyed your pics too and loved the story.
SCG- we have eagles that nest by the little river that runs thru the corner of our back forty (literally). They don't stay once all the water freezes on the nearby lakes (they fly, with many others, to the dams on the Mississippi to our west and southwest) but return early to nest. On the years we get deer, we always put the ribcage out in the middle of the field for them to pick on. Never lost a chicken to them but then I have always made sure there were plenty of things for the girls to run under if need be and they have a very supervised "free range" area.
 
@chickisoup So glad you're up and doing stuff you love on your own! WooHoo!

No need to warn you about ice, but I just did.

Have I posted my link to my run page yet? I had to update and make a new one. I couldn't get the page to move to the coop and design page. I did it wrong.

So I spent most of yesterday and this morning on a new one to replace the other album. This one is actually linked to "Coop Designs", where it belongs!

So if anybody has time please check out the new improved and proper page.

Love watching birds of prey. There's a nesting pair of eagles about 10 miles from here that are the source of roadside watching every year. They even place a porta-potty in the breakdown lane as there are so many cars that pull over to watch them. Does cause a little traffic congestion when they're there. We also have many types of hawks that can be seen flying overhead regularly all year. Even see eagles here every so often, but not near as frequently.

Another beautiful spring day and less wind today as well. I've heard maybe snow coming later in the week. Forecasters - BLAH! Colorado weather - Who knows/knew??? Next five days looks like highs in the 50s then 40s. May be the calm before the storm, so to speak? Hope we DO get snow in the Feb-April time frame as we always need/can use the moisture. Been looking around at the city/state water retention/holding lakes (along the So Platte river corridor) here and most of them are near full at the moment. Even Barr lake (a major irrigation source here), which was down to a third of its normal size late last year, is nearly full again.

Today, in about an hour, I'm going over to an apiary dealer's place to purchase and pick up my bee hives! Pretty excited! Won't get the bees till April or May, but that will give me time to place the hives and get intimately familiar with them. Maybe I'll get really lucky and this spring a swarm will move into one and I'll get bees earlier than planned (after the weather warms continuously of course)! I'm beginning to realize this is gonna be a really cheap/inexpensive hobby... just like keeping chickens
