Our Neighbors


It’s late March and I’m on a mission. Actually Mrs. T and I are less than a mile from our home base.  Moving silently I probe the trees with my binoculars looking for clues. Distant crows break the early morning quiet. Have they returned, for the fifth consecutive year I wonder?

There high in the tree overlooking the trout ponds! I move closer but not too close. I do not want to cause any disturbance! My friends, the trout farm eagles have returned. All is well here in Bluff Country

  3. You have very wonderful neighbors.
    We get an occasional one. When Hubby and I were in Iowa this spring we saw dozens....even way out in the country far from the Mississippi. They've certainly made a comeback.

  5. Those nest can weigh well over a ton. The babies ones near me are getting big, headed over to say hi this weekend.

  6. That is a good description of crows calling in the distance. The memories I have when I lived on the farm as a kid was the call of the crows and the chatter of the chip monks. I liked making the cawing sound as if I were a bird. You have not greened up much there.
