Welcome to our nano piece of paradise!
This is essentially a creative photo blog plus few words. It is about Sandra and Denny's gardens and surrounds. My granddaughter Adelyn calls me "Poppop", hence the blog name. We try to add new images once a week. Older posts are archived at page bottom. Click an image to enlarge. We're having fun. Please! Enjoy!

Live Birds! Multiplying!

Cornell University in Ithaca NY has live online bird cams in a Red Tail Hawk nest, and also a Great Blue Heron nest. Amazing, beautiful, and awesome live views of wild nature up close and personal. Hatching happening! 
               website:  Cornell Ornithology Cams (http://www.allaboutbirds.org) 
     Below are screen shots of the two families. There were three red tail hawk eggs... which have just hatched into three healthy hawklets (eyas). Then, below, are shots of 5 Great Blue Heron eggs... 2 little healthy ugly hatchlings so far ... and 3 more to come!






Watching!

...and then there were two... then three

...get in line (They eat raw meat from birth!)
