T see that woodpecker is a bad word from your stars.
No, I am a California gal like yourself ( I believe). I dream of Hawaii. Lived ther back in the lat 70's for a while. I know what you mean about the vultures. They are so impressive when they are speading their wings to dry. No birds here today. Just fog.
Stay warm and be well, Ocean.
Sounds like Hawaii, to me. I lived there for a while, swam with dolphins, turtles, and manta-rays.
I hope someday I can immerse myself in the salt water again without fear of my ascites swelling up.
No hawks yet today but a cool woodpecker scratching itself on the oak tree. And the turkey vultures are stretching thier silvery wings; beautiful birds in the air that look so ugly on the ground.
Friole, thanks for the info re. ANC./ On my labs they are called gran. My doc said danger zone is .5 I seem to be ranging from 1.0 to 1.6. They explaind to me that it is a % of the WBCs. But all I have to do is watch this number and don't have to do the math.
Orphandedhawk, info on my name. I live at about 1500 ft., about 1 mile from the ocean as the crow (or hawk flies). Our weather is influenced by the ocean. I would rather be in, on or near the water at all times. Rivers are good too) I used to be a salmon fisherwoman and live on a boat in the summer. That seems like a far away dream now. I love hearing your hawk stories. Thanks, Ocean
I am so silly. When OH was still hanging around yelling at us for dinner, I realised her call sounds like "hawwwk, hawwwwk". SO thats what I yell at them! When she first left, I thought I saw her, and ran to get a frozen quail. There I was like a nutcase shaking a dead frozen bird up to the sky yelling,"hawwk, hawwk".
The hawk flew off when we were weaning her and another hawk, maybe her mother?, chased her away. They are very territorial so it is unlikely she will show up right here. Maybe down the road?
We are in the migratory flyway, lots of birds, coming and going, flying through a Maxfield Parrish landscape.
You actually inspire me, being the same genotype, and clearing. Thanks so much for your help. ( hope my hubby's odd humor didn't put you off.)
