I was just reading that United explained to her 3 times before she even came to the airport that the bird would not be allowed to fly. She's also a performance artist. I'm guessing the price of the plane ticket was her attempt at advertising herself.

Perhaps the Peacock is part of her act and she didn't want to put it in the cargo hold during the flight? Yikes...

Very nice, but I feel bad for that one guy looking forlorn, sitting alone at the picnic table--with no lunch. I think maybe a gull swooped down and stole it! :jawdrop:

If you're not tired enough of my eagle pictures, read on. DH has been working very hard since we got to FL renovating a couple of rooms at my sister's house, so today before we left I told him we should do something fun before heading up here. We hadn't been to the beach at all since we got here, so we figured we'd make a quick stop there, grab some lunch, then head for Kissimme. Much to my surprise though, he offered to stop at a couple of nests on the way, so who was I to say no?

The first one was one of my old favorites. we saw one adult (I think it was Mom) sitting in a nearby tree and a chicken-sized baby up in the nest. While we wee watching, the other adult eagle circled around a few times, but never stopped in to say hello (or goodbye).

Our next stop was at a nest that we discovered when we were here back in May. It's at the top of a very high tower in the middle of a quiet little residential area not too far from the beach. When we got there one eagle was perched on the side while the other was flying way above. It eventually landed next to its mate on the tower's edge.

I'll miss my little friends down there, but there are a lot of nests up this way too.

OMG--those nests are incredible!! :cool: Eagles are quite the architects. And it's fascinating to see where they build their nests, especially up on that high tower--lots of perching areas and unobstructed views! Meanwhile--

I saw a pigeon yesterday, sitting on top of a jersey barrier, (with flashing lights on, in the middle of a busy street intersection, with road crews). Unlike eagles, city birds don't exert themselves into making homes--they're happy to just freeload on whatever construction project, the humans put out there! :hilarious:

The eagle nests are huge, and quite deep. I've watched a live cam seeing them construct a nest, and it's quite impressive. It's amazing how well the nests did with the hurricanes.

I took the day off from work today to lounge around and eat Cheetos. :p

For the heck of it, I just went to the WDW hotel web site and saw their 20% off "deal" on their deluxe hotels (limited time, limited rooms, etc.--the usual promotion).

Looked at the rates for "room only" reservations. :hilarious: :hilarious: (And the prices didn't even include what the taxes would be on top of them.) :rolleyes:

Having said that about hurricanes, we took a ride over to the neighborhood nest we’ve been visiting for the past couple of years and we immediately noticed that something was different. A neighbor there told us that during the hurricane last year a tornado took down several trees including the nest tree. The eagles returned and built a new nest in a nearby tree.
