A young eagle had a damaged wing and couldn't fly. He decided Chesapeake Bay Mother's yard looked like a nice place to stay and he tried to attack her geese because he was hungry. (The goose was having no part of being his lunch, and the commotion alerted CBMother.) <BR/><BR/>Anyway, she called the game warden and he came and took the eagle somewhere for rehabilitation. CB Mother loves talking to the game warden. He shares her passion for animals. I don't think he's too hard on the eyes either, but that's neither here nor there.....Chesapeake Bay Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187804072769932131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-21170111043324859132008-11-22T07:17:00.000-05:002008-11-22T07:17:00.000-05:00Ordinary is beautiful!Ordinary is beautiful!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07874897254332872367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-72179350409509876322008-11-21T20:37:00.000-05:002008-11-21T20:37:00.000-05:00Also, a few years back when I lived by myself, I w...Also, a few years back when I lived by myself, I woke up at about 4:30 in the morning....the earth had shaken!

Still don't know what it was. I did determine that it wasn't Chesapeake Bay Son's compost pit, which was on the list of possibilities of "things explodable" when we were investigating afterwards.Chesapeake Bay Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187804072769932131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-81381401144489222042008-11-21T19:05:00.000-05:002008-11-21T19:05:00.000-05:00whew...scary....are you in the habit of having ear...whew...scary....are you in the habit of having earthquakes (or other sudden loud bombing noises)around there?<BR/><BR/>Looking fwd to the bald eagle pic<BR/><BR/>Annie<BR/><BR/>ps wow...fancy coming up with the same foreign language words/saying at the same time...that is weird..and a bit scary too!

Or rather, my laundry pile looks like an earthquake hit it.<BR/><BR/>GJ - That's what we were thinking...that it was the smell of milk that attracted the cat. I guess the cat must not be too close to the diaper end of the baby. I'd think that would off set any tempting milk smell.<BR/><BR/>BHE - I think the eagles are making a comeback. I see them more frequently these days. And yes, I'm here to tell ya we'd be something to listen to if we started up with the old sayings PLUS those nicknames. <BR/><BR/>Happy Friday to all.Chesapeake Bay Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187804072769932131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-54756614004686326302008-11-21T11:25:00.000-05:002008-11-21T11:25:00.000-05:00Just this morning an eagle flew overhead when I wa...Just this morning an eagle flew overhead when I was on the porch. We don't see them often, but I LOVE when they come to visit. Perhaps I will start throwing carcasses out and see what happens:)<BR/><BR/>A.P. Hill gets all riled up from time to time, and their "maneuvers" shake our house. When we were in the building process, it was right after the 9-11 disaster. Our builder was alone on the property, and he called CB FREAKING OUT about the "booms"!!!<BR/><BR/>It's probably best that we comminicate via computer. I just KNOW that we could spew old sayings for hours. Over wine, of course:)Big Hair Envyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601542247789997344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-56867109284711380082008-11-21T11:06:00.000-05:002008-11-21T11:06:00.000-05:00Believe it or not, there are bald eagles in SoCA, ...Believe it or not, there are bald eagles in SoCA, that you can see if you go up in the canyons. They used to be more prevalent years ago.<BR/>Then of course I paid big bucks to go to the wild bald eagle preserve in Alaska and saw several.<BR/><BR/>Earthquakes? Helllloooooo, I'm form So CA! But really, sonic booms are a good substitute.<BR/><BR/>My grandmother used to say the same thing about cats sucking the breathe from a baby.

Doesn't mean it wasn't one, but it sure sounded like something on the ground going off, even an earthquake, though I've never heard one of those before...it felt as though the ground shook. <BR/><BR/>Maybe the cats fall asleep on the baby's faces right before they suck their breath away.Chesapeake Bay Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187804072769932131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-36790906580907608852008-11-21T05:51:00.000-05:002008-11-21T05:51:00.000-05:00really enjoyed this post - thanks for the smiles. ...really enjoyed this post - thanks for the smiles. do you think that loud bang was a sonic boom from an aircraft? we get those sometimes, or blasting at a mine?<BR/>not the bald eagle surely.<BR/>I think the raccoons would be cool but we do the same ting here - cant put edible things in the trash.<BR/>arent cats supposed to fall asleep on babies faces cos they are nice and warm? thats what i heard - not sure about yours..<BR/>enjoy, looking forward tomore tales from your world! :-)Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060531713032236270noreply@blogger.com
