Baby Hawk is Hatching Soon
I have been watching this live feed off and on for the last week. It is so amazing. The Momma Hawk brings in a partial bird and feeds the babies. They are so cute; sometimes they will “fight” with each other and then just lay down exhausted! Yesterday they were both sleeping “yin/yang” style with their unhatched sibling’s egg in between them. They both suddenly startled and sat up and looked around and then had to re-adjust themselves. Momma was watching from afar. I think their little “eggling” is moving around inside it’s shell and that is what startled them both at the exact same time.
Last week, Momma was keeping her newly hatched chicks warm and Papa brought her a nice beautiful twig with a fresh green bud on the end and put it in front of her. She nibbled on the fresh green leaves after she acknowledged him. It was too precious for words. So you see, when Men bring Women flowers, they are following the order of nature.
I really think that egg number three is about to hatch any day now. Will you be watching? http://www.kgw.com/raptorcam/?nvid=226982&live=yes
Today is Earth Day
Today, April 22 is Earth Day.
The story goes that Earth Day was conceived by Senator Gaylord Nelson after a trip he took to Santa Barbara right after that horrific oil spill off the Santa Barbara coast in 1969. He was so outraged by what he saw that he went back to Washington and passed a bill designating April 22 as a national day to celebrate the earth.
The first Earth Day was April 22, 1970. This is the day the environmentalists celebrate to help make our planet “greener”. Won’t you think of one thing you can do to improve the health of our planet? Have a great day!
