Owl News

Dawn

Jake and I walked down to check on Nora and Oseric Owl.

The first thing I noticed is the tree had broken off at a foot above the nest.

All the sawed-up logs from the foreground to the background are from the parts of the tree that broke off.

I could not tell if Nora was sitting on her eggs with the naked eye; however, after processing the image, I can see her back feathers.

I looked around and found Oseric sitting in his favorite lookout spot, watching over Nora.

I used this photo last May to illustrate where the owlets were in the tree. Approximately 50 feet of the tree broke off just above the nest and crashed into the alpacas’ pen below. The owlets will have little shade and no branches to explore until they are old enough to fly to other trees this year.

I hope none of the alpacas were injured when the tree broke off and fell into their pen.

The Bird Ate My Homework

Tyranosøren Wrecks eating Laurie’s homework!

Belafonte watching the Super Bowl halftime show on Apple Music.

I don’t watch football, so I did not see the game or the halftime show yesterday afternoon. However, I read various complaints about the halftime show this morning on various platforms. Most of the complaints were that people couldn’t understand the lyrics, others about how Kendrick Lamar danced, moved around, and bent down while he rapped.

When I got home, Laurie said I needed to watch and listen to the halftime show on Apple Music through her fancy Apple headphones that have dimensional sound. I can’t speak to what it was like watching the halftime show live, but watching it on Apple Music, the show was spectacular and the sound was phenomenal through Lurie’s Apple headphones. I’m not fond of rap, but that was a great show and I liked the music.

As far as Kendrick Lamar’s moving around and bending down while he raps, moving and bending help to open up the vocal folds, making the rapper’s voice more effective. I don’t know if rappers know that instinctively or have been trained by vocal coaches to bend and move while rapping, but I suspect a combination of both.
