Jonathan Hopper caught this small nest of late blooming baby robins eight years ago today. Looks like these little ones are waiting for mom and a meal. (This picture was taken from a distance to avoid disturbing the family.)

cockalorum

See Dictionary.com: cockalorum

BridgeCam is still not working. I do miss it so much.

"BridgeCam is still not working. I do miss it so much."

Yes indeed! But note that the clock has been removed from the BridgeCam picture, to make it less obvious. J

Meanwhile for a temporary "fix", check out the Michigan Tech WebCams,
the Fund Cam in particular.

Yep, I noticed the absence of the clock on BridgeCam. Kinda sneaky, huh?

I have learned to use the Mich. Tech. bridge cam; the view isn't as clear but it is fun that it is live.

Love the words floating around here....

Did anyone know Carl Juntilla from Traverse Bay, MI. ( in the U.P.) who recently passed away? Carl is my brother's father-in-law, my deepest sympathy to the Juntilla's.

Erica, Traverse Bay is south of Gay, and east of Lake Linden.

Mr Juntilla was from Big Traverse, I thought I heard he was from Traverse Bay, I'm sorry for the mix up.
