Recent Photos. In the past few days we have been receiving a number of wildlife photos. In this update are some bird photos. Deer (alive) photos will be sent in a later update.
Killdeer Nest & Killdeer. The first three photos were evidently taken on Thursday. Following is text of the email we received.
Here are some pictures of our Killdeer and her nest. She first scolded me, then tried to lead me away with the old broken wing trick, then she watched as I took pictures of her babies. Where's Waldo: In picture 10 can you find the nest?
Eggs Hatch. On Friday we received the fourth photo and the following text:
3 of the 4 eggs hatched today. The chicks are even harder to see than the eggs....
Eagle on Nest. Today we received the eagle nest photos and the following text:
Attached are photos of an eagle sitting on a nest in Manette taken 4/18/09. The Lombard Poplar tree has just begun to leaf out in the past 2 days. I expect we should be getting very near hatch date for this nest within the next week or so (assuming 35 day incubation period).
Plans for Homeless in Illahee State Park? In Saturday's Kitsap Sun there was an article about the cut in social services that contained one solution that was being proposed which is to recommended Illahee State Park be used to house the homeless if the park is going to be mothballed. We thought Illahee residents might like to look at the linked article.
Thank You! Thank you to all for sending the photos.
