 Andrea's cubs |
The news of today was Shadow’s great granddaughter Andrea (Shadow, June, Jewel, Andrea) showing up at 3-years-old with three cubs (male Twinkie, male Cupcake, and female Snowball). Snowball is the one with the light face and chest blaze. The two males are on the tree. We were glad to hear about Andrea coming when the woods is full of juneberries, but I suspect that even a diet of juneberries begs for some variety.
Herring gull cooling off
Out the window here at the WRI, it was 86° F and this herring gull had his beak open trying to cool off. Also trying to cool off was 4-year-old Jake, son of Daisy, also a great granddaughter of Shadow (Shadow, RC, Bow, Daisy). The blurry picture is of him in the lake. The other picture is the ID picture of his nice face and eyes.

Another visitor today was Shadow’s 1-year-old great grandson Bentley (Shadow, RC, Bow, Bentley) who is a joy.
Something we watch each year is the eagle’s nest that we see on the pontoon rides. Word came today that it has two half-grown chicks with the parents bringing good-sized fish for dinner.
Looking forward to the first course starting tomorrow and what we’ll see together.
Thank you for all you do,
