6/19 BUSY MORNING FOR ME

Took a peek over in Connecticut. This cam is nice and close. And the refresh rate is 5 seconds.


Smile for the nice people.

This nest has 2 fairly large chicks. But I also am seeing 2 eggs. Unhatched from the original group or new I don't know. I'll have to check around the site and see if it says anything. Well, just checked and it would seem that the 2 eggs are left overs. The first hatched on May 22 and the second on May 25. In 2006 only 1 of 4 hatched. Wonder why the eggs are still in the nest ? I would think that she'd of moved them to the side by now.

Am I all alone here ?





Maybe I just need to stand up to see.


Hello. Where is everybody ?? How come your not here ?



Mr. Impala is on his way. May that be why everyone else made themselves scarce?



He's coming ! !




The Vervets give him lots of room.





OK, I'm outta here.


Oxpecker playing in the dirt




Well, now I lost them again !



About 45 mins later, 1 lone Giraffe shows up.





Cautiously getting a drink.






Was that a noise I heard ?







Jumped up so fast I got a bit of water up my nose !





Coy, over the shoulder look







20 mins later, this bunch wonder just how they will get to the pan with the Beestie's there.





Simple dear, walk around them.




Stay together now.







Almost there.






Ahhhh....A well deserved drink.







But they don't stay long.






When the sun goes down...



the sky lites up like it's on fire.






And look who came out to play


Well maybe not to play but you know what I mean.

The pan is very quiet tonight. The only sound I've heard in about 30 mins are some distant Hyena's. Not even the normal croaking tonight. What, if anything, is lurking in the bush ?
.
So now my whole morning is gone and what do you suppose got done on the 'to do' list ? Not one thing folks. Oh well, there's always this afternoon. LOL
.
Until later HAPPY VIEWING !!
