    Huuuuui, Sistah, good you ste posting again!

    Birdnote talked about Black-headed Grosbeaks yesterday. I wonder if I’ve seen one and thought it was a Spotted Towhee. I’ll have to pay closer attention. https://www.birdnote.org/podcasts/birdnote-daily/black-headed-grosbeak-sings

    Wow laulau, I didn’t know Bird of Paradise would grow up here! You must malama them so carefully to keep them thriving like that.

    The photo of the baby eagle with mouth wide open made me LOL. I wonder their parents think the babies are just big open mouths!

    What is that device in the photo for May 25?

      I love that the baby eagles have fledged now… I’m so happy for a successful clutch for Jackie and Shadow!
