Disturbance at the Heron Nest



  

Although it's tough to see all the details, the sounds clearly tell us that there was a a disturbance at the heron nest last night (5/30/13). At around 11:30pm the female starts getting restless and suddenly just before 11:45pm we hear the geese disturbed on the pond below, followed by the female heron screaming at some unseen threat. The male arrives and stays on the nest for about three hours. As soon as the situation calms down, the chicks beg and are fed. The male and female vocalize together before he leaves the nest at a little past 2:30am. 

Old Friends



TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN,

YET THE YOUNGEST YOU'LL EVER BE -

SO - ENJOY THIS DAY WHILE IT LASTS.

~Your kids are becoming you......but your grandchildren are perfect!~Going out is good.. Coming home is better!

~You forget names.... But it's OK because other people forgot they even knew you!!!

~You realize you're never going to be really good at anything.... especially Golf.

~The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don't care to do them anymore.

~You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed. It's called "pre-sleep".

~You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" Switch..

~You tend to use more 4 letter words ... "what?"..."when?"... ???

~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.

~You notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!!

~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.

~Everybody whispers.

~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet.... 2 of which you will never wear.

~~~But Old is good in some things: Old songs, Old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!!

 It's Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter That Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived

When a dog knows ~

Have you ever heard that a dog 'knows' when an earthquake is about to hit?

 

Have you ever heard that a dog can 'sense' when a tornado is stirring up,

even 20 miles away?

Do you remember hearing that before the December tsunami struck Southeast Asia,

dogs started running frantically away from the seashore, at breakneck speed?

Do you know that dogs can detect cancer and

 other serious illnesses and danger of fire?

Somehow they always know when they                        

can 'go for a ride' before you even ask.

How do those dogs and cats get home from hundreds of miles away?

I'm a firm believer that animals ~ and especially cats and dogs ~

have keen insights into the Truth.

And you can't tell me that dogs can't sense

 a potentially terrible disaster well in advance.

 

Simply said, a dog just KNOWS when something isn't right ~

when impending doom is upon us.

They'll always try to warn us!

EVERYONE should have listened.
