Baby Birds

I was talking on my cellphone today on our ramp outside the building and some crazy bird was attacking a squirrel which was pretty funny. I figured there was a nest around and found some with some baby birds behind our parking sign. I ran inside to get a camera, went back out, and was attacked by I am guessing Mama bird. I ducked and felt her claws or something snag my shirt. She was pretty pissed. I made April go out with me and distract the birds so I could get a picture of the babies. It was totally worth it because they are adorable!

Today is All About Bears!

Bear Pole Dancing
I like the warning at the end about this video came from wildlife trigger camera and it is dangerous to get close to wild animals!



Polar Bear Twins
They have apparently been hibernating for the last 3 months and are just now coming outside. I am not sure how I feel about one of the bears being named Walker which is what I was thinking of if this baby turns out to be a boy!

Back from the Grand Canyon

I just spend almost two weeks at the Grand Canyon for training. It was a looonnnggg two weeks and I was ready to come home at the end (really more like 8 days in). Kevin, Mary Ellen and myself left on March 2 and returned March 13. We drove the airport on the 2nd and missed our flight so we were delayed getting there and that a long drive to the South Rim that we ended up finishing up the second day of the trip. The Canyon was beautiful, but after awhile it all kinda looked the same. The most interesting parks was viewing it at different times of day for shadows. Anyway here are some pictures of our grand adventure.
