Tired

IMPY DAY...

I got up feeling tired like I didn't even sleep but I did...maybe it's the Hashimoto's?  At least a couple times a month I feel like I have no energy at all.  Today was that day so I went to Lee county to check the Eagle nest, and a couple other spots I keep a check on. 

The Eaglet is ready to fledge and I don't know he may have already been out of the nest, but at least one parent was hanging out in the nest tree watching over the young fellow.  Such a wonderful sight to see...how protective they are of their young.  You can feel the love as you watch them.  They don't force the young out of the nest, they just stop coming with food...that hurts. 

It must be good to have someone watch over you...the young one may have taken  a maiden voyage out of the nest but right back into it, not ready to hunt yet.  Once they had 2 young.  One stayed in the nest into summer, I felt really sorry for that bird, he seemed so alone.  

So I will go back and check again in a couple weeks see how he is doing.  The wetland is getting dryer now that the beaver dam has been destroyed and the beaver there killed...MADE me sick.  There is nothing more beautiful than a beaver created pond..

I actually came across another beaver pond today on a road now closed.  I will keep checking one day I hope to find a pond that they DONT kill the Beaver and he/she is allowed to live in peace.  

The air all around stinks like chicken S**t...this time of year the farmers put loads and loads of it on the surrounding fields.  With all the chicken and turkey farms around here there is an ample supply of it...Every part of the Bird including his poop is SOLD for profit...Sick 

But it really stinks up the whole area for miles..

Tomorrow I hope to make myself stay in bed and rest as late as I can to try and feel rested. 

Happy weekend. 

Make Hay

HILST the sun shines...

 Is an old saying, so I am not making hay but I want to get in some birding while the sun is out its very hard to ID birds when the sky is dull and no light is on them...So Off I went today back to Lee County and to check the Eagle Nest I've been watching for about 3 years now.  They have at least one chick, last year they had one, and the year before that they had 2 successfully fledge from the nest.  

This is the area I call the Beaver Pond, there was an active beaver there but the US Dept of AG killed him.  I have no power to stop them when I wrote to Trumps Sec of Ag, he said that is the Dept of Wildlife who does that..NO it is not..the notices put up close to the dams  are posted by the USDA.  The pond was high enough due to all the rain we had, but if we hit a dry spell that wetland will drain...the beaver was doing his job creating open space by drowning trees...People are so STUPID...and govt people seem to be the stupidest.

I spent the entire day out until it just got really too cold to enjoy being out...and then home to fed the girls get the heat going and make myself a veggie burger sandwich. 

There is a deer in my pasture who has a malformed or more like an injury that healed all wrong on a hind leg.  The ankle  seems to have been broken, and it healed in a strange way,  it did heal but she has some trouble walking....Poor thing I hope she hangs out in my field cause she is safe there I will get some corn to put in there and put some water and a salt lick she actually goes into the old barn stall it has no roof, I pulled the roof off when it went bad and  did not put  a roof back, undecided as to what I want to do about that I no longer need a big barn I have no horses, a lean to 3 sided shelter is all I need but I have this, the cement walls that are still strong...so I would  have the old one torn down and removed.  A lot of work I thought of asking if anyone wants the blocks they can tear it down and take the blocks...BUT I doubt anyone will want the blocks they're old. 

The South African strain of the Covid has been found in my state, 2 people had it.  They both recovered and they say the vaccine will handle this strain.  The thing seems to be mutating pretty fast.  I am staying away from people as much as possible, when birding I rarely see anyone, let alone speak to someone. 
Soon the trial of Trump will start in the senate Lindsey Graham has assembled a legal team...you can be sure they are the most crooked lawyers money can buy...BOY Trump must have something really big on Graham...some people suggest he is gay and trying to keep in the closet, I would much rather people know Im gay than know Im an jackass and a liar. 

Anyways that's just some of the "gossip" I heard...And now there are all sorts of angry white people riling up the "right wing" who seem hell bent on being mentally disturbed and I hope they find an outlet for their disgusting hatred...One woman Rep Greene from GA, threatens others in the Congress...and they want her out..  I hope they can get her out...she is insane said one of the GA voters when asked. 

Not my words Im just passing it along....

Tomorrow More birding maybe.,,I wanted to check the waste water treatment ponds in Lee county and I ran out of time so that may be next. 
This morning before I got out of bed I turned on the tv to see the weather but Bugs Bunnhy cartoons were on so I watched that instead just like being a kid again...

Thhhhhhhhat's all Folks.

SO Friday is over.
