Loons at Stormy Lake put on a show this week. Brought some diversions from the trauma of dad passing. Several days ago an eagle dive bombed a loon with young ones. Because of the young ones they won't dive and leave them unprotected and the eagle caught a loon. It was too heavy to lift so it was seen swimming across the lake, almost a mile, dragging it in the water. Amazing!

@wissox83 wow thats crazy nature!

@wissox83 It is such a struggle with life and death in the animal world. I cringe when I see the fox with a lizard, but a road runner with a snake makes me happy, now a LOON!! That was something to see.

@RockChalkinTexas-0 I’ve been watching Americas on nbc on thursdays, it’s like national geo. Back in the day. Narrated by tom hanks. Cool show before at 7, back in the Dino days, surving earth.

@crimsonblu22 I like those shows too but David Attenboroughs are just amazing.

@wissox83 I never pass up a Planet Earth series by Sir David, or any of the others he has done.

Last year we had a robin drop one egg in a wren's nest. It stayed there until the others had hatched and I think she abandoned it for a racoon to find it. I only see robins during migration, and it's only for a couple of days at the most. In Minnesota when you saw a robin it meant spring was here. Anybody else have local tall tales?

@RockChalkinTexas-0 I'm not sure of the origin of the mascot but the town we lived in in Wisconsin had a mascot of the Red Robin.

The sunflower patch is succumbing to the heat and bugs have eaten the leaves.
