When I forwarded a high-wind warning to this group the other day I wasn't
sure if my cautionary tone was appropriate - especially since (we) birders
love severe weather events.
Having said that - the last thing I expected was the message I received
today from the Jeans about the loss of their Bald Eagle Nest Tree in the
wind storm. It was a 100+ year-old ponderosa pine, over 150' tall, which a
pairs of eagles called home for the past seven years.
The nest splintered into tiny fragments on impact and except for an
unscathed mole-trap, little-else of notable interest was discovered within
the remains of the nest.
On a fun non-birding note I learned (1800 pound) scottish long haired
cattle are docile and very approachable - especially if you're bearing the
gift of apples. Information I will incorporate into all plans to visit to
this wonderful farm in the future.
