I’m imagining myself in the forest with little birds chirping and not worrying of deadlines for work.

I don’t know if you have been following your “Beauty”, but she and Archer, after a failed, first egg season, have found the nest box on the Times Square Building in Rochester NY, and are going through all of the natural steps from bowing to moving pebbles around. It is very exciting especially after the season Rochester has been through. It really appears that these two will make Rochester their home and perhaps be productive next year.

Check out other postings regarding this exciting development. There is a short movie of Beauty settling in and getting comfortable!

Wish I’d see him at my hummingbird feeder. Which reminds me, time to put out fresh sugar water. The rain really dilutes what’s out there.
