Agreed and that will happen soon I hope, as we are still in the same area, but just in a better house that is not near the roads with all of that noise. So the silence is a blessing.
Sad thing is that the new place has no view of the mountains and so we will wait until by grace we can get something small on one of the farms.
You guys are lucky to be traveling over winter and yes it should be an explorers playground.
Speaking about traveling, I read an amazing report today. One of our bird agencies caught and tagged a Honey Buzzard that visited here last year. They also tagged him with a tracker to see where he was from.
So when he left they tracked him and can you believe that he flew all of the way to Finland.
Traveling some +250 kilometers per day he took 42 days to get to Finland.
From the southern tip of the African continent crossing the Suez canal and up over Belarus and the other countries to end up in Finland.
So next year they will track his return path and so amazing methinks.
Have yourself another !BEER my friend and greetings to your beloved.
Amazing the distance some migratory routes cover.
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds fly over the open water of the Gulf of Mexico to reach the shores of Florida. It's a 500 mile non-stop trip. I would imagine by the time this brave little bird reaches its destination it is exhausted.
thanks again for the beer.
Ah, so you know about the little hummingbirds and yes their achievements are totally amazing. I often check if new records are established by birds in non stop distances and at this time, the Arctic Tern holds the record.
The thing is that they fast before a long flight to adapt their bodies for the long distances.
Nature is so intricate and amazing.
We hope that you guys will have a good weekend and you should be edging slowly towards your winter season, But of course that Fall first.
Our Spring will start at the 1st of September.
Have another !BEER
