Monday MOMSday

Ready for a BUNCH-O-PICTURES from The PF Palace???

Soon time for The New Lord PF to head for more!  This is the time at The Ledge where The FluffPuffs seem to change from morning to night!

I mentioned that my Saturday night included making SOUP - 

I was SOOOOO ready for bed when I finished the vat of it - as I had spent SO much of the day - and night - on my feet - 

BUT SUNday morning's breakfast of champions made it SO worthwhile - 

And will give me energy for this POPup KhampEr - Picture #1 of 87?

SUNday morning was the usual - Sheetz for papers - back for khoffee - SOUP - including picture sent to Auntie De - who then asked if I wanted a PUP - I rEpliEd if The Pup wantEd to comE -

I'll tell more tomorrow - and we'll see what the days ahead hold for us -

Happy Monday EvFURRYone!

Unfortunately, though not unexpectedly, the fourth hatchling has not survived. As previously reported, survival rate for raptors within their first year is low. Research indicates that 60 percent of falcons die during their first year. Though it can be a hard lesson, the focus should remain on the survival of the remaining three hatchlings. The nest site on the Rachel Carson State Office Building has consistently exceeded survival rates for decades. That success is likely to translate to the healthy development of the three remaining hatchlings and, ultimately, the continued contribution of the RCSOB nest site to increasing the overall population of peregrine falcons within the Commonwealth.

AND no wind! 

Some MAY flowers -

The Iris is about to explode!   More shots to come of course -

Free Range Pansies are THE BEST -

Busy days ahead - but isn't that what weekends are all about ;-) ?  

I have a pot of KHAT Khorn Soup in the works as I stage this - cooking the poultry whilst making the broth - what I had last week from Bob's KHAT Creamery got us hungry for more!

Happy SUNday EvFURRYone!

Some Falcon Cam followers have expressed concern that the fourth hatchling is struggling to get enough food for survival. During feeding, food is not distributed evenly among the hatchlings. This adaptation, in which the larger, stronger hatchlings get more food, is a survival strategy. In case of a decline in the prey base, feeding the larger eyasses insures that at least some of the brood survives.

Fortunately, the nest site has an ample food base, especially common species like the rock dove (pigeons). As a new father, 85/AK does not bring prey to the ledge with the regularity of his predecessor, W/V. 85/AK's hunting abilities should improve, and with assistance from 48/AE, as she will do more hunting as the hatchlings grow, more food will become available.

The Weather Babblers prepared us for some BIG WINDS on FrEYEday - and they weren't fooling!  I had gone down to check on some arrivals at The GKP midday - and then walked out to The KhrossTrek - WOWZERZ - what a challenge - and after posting Holy Flying Fur Batman - that's some wind out there on my FB status, others updated with news from their parts of the khountry - and complete with the Basset and Rottie Neighboor Humans from next door updating about the power being out - luckily, it was back on when I returned home to The Khottage - but I did have the front porch chair in the yard!

And to plant an earworm, time to TURN THE PAGE - sorry Bob Seger - I had to go with METALLICA!

What great images to have for the month!

Happy Saturday EvFURRYone!
