Wow...trying to stay awake this afternoon. I've got plenty of work to keep me busy, just can't keep my eyes open! We watched the finale of Dancing with the Stars last night....and yay!! Donald Driver (a Green Bay Packer) WON! We've been voting for him all season. Now that the show is done for the season I am going to call the cable company and just drop down to very basic cable, just to get local channels and internet. With summer here we dont need to spend so much time watching TV!
Heron count:
Well, it's funny...since I started my "official" counting on Monday...I've hardly seen any Great Blue Herons! None on my way home Monday. None on my drive in Tuesday....although I did see 2 turkeys...and 2 sandhill cranes...and this morning i saw a deer
Herons:
1 flying north over Halquist Stone Quarry in Pewaukee (5/22 approx 5pm)
1 flying south over Hwy 16 at Hwy 83 (this is where I have typically seen the most herons over the
last few years) (5/23 approx 7am)
A friend of mine at work told me about this website, out of Cornell University in Ithaca New York. The have 2 webcams in a Great Blue Heron nest. I've been checking in off and on over the last several weeks. When I first went on, it was 1 egg...then up to 5...then the hatching of the crazy looking heron babies...and they grow sooo fast...about an inch a day is what I read....now they are looking like a smaller version of the adults, and they are only a couple weeks old! Very fascinating..and great info from the moderators in the chat! Check it out if you get a chance...it can be addicting!
