July 21--Not Again..WINKIN!!!

Well, today the mail brough a pleasent surprise.  A local family tracked down our address and sent us a Thank You card!

We decided today to not go first thing in the morning, but rather later on.  So we swung out and guess what we saw--two birds in the nest and two on the platform---again!

Apparently strong wind gusts and showing off chicks causes problems!  She was to timid to fly back...

Dad was encouraging her along...

While her sisters fought in the nest...


Dad waited,

Went to the bathroom

And went to go check in on the other two kids...

Leaving Winkin looking forlorn!

This shot is to give an idea of how far she flew...The close pole is the one she is on, the far pole is the nest.




Blinkin and Nod, bickering as kids left alone Will do...




Dad showed up with a bunch of grass..either he is doing home reno's..or trying to trick Winkin...but she is not buying it.



Dad brought a little fish to the two at home...

 Showed up 20 minutes later with a bigger one for Winkin



"What you looking at bird brain"

Note the striking difference in eye colour.

Aww...he is feeding her!


Dad tears off a piece...And Winkin look on hungrily
