Lots and lots of kids

Hi again. Thought I would tell you about what I did today with my human. Todd took me to a place called Anchorage Christian School, I don't know what one of those is but I had fun and got to see a lot of kids. I really like going out to see kids. They make me feel good when they see me and make a funny human sound kind of like and owl but more like oooooohhhhh instead of whoooooo.

I got to come out of my travel box four times today at the school. Whew, that was a lot of work standing up on my humans glove four times for about an hour each time but it was fun. I got to take a break in between and relax and make sure my feathers looked nice for my next appearance. No, I am not trying to act like a special bird, I just want to look my best for the people who come to see me. There were young kids and some older kids and some grown up humans too.

The kids are so fun, I flapped my wings really hard a couple times and jumped off my humans glove a couple times. The kids thought that was pretty neat. They had all kinds of questions for him; what do I eat, how old am I, can I go under water and a lot more. He did good with answering them all. He is real good with the kids, I think that might be why his mate says he acts like a kid sometimes!!!

I will peck him to get pictures from our day at the school on here soon too so you can see some of my new friends and how much fun we had today. Well, this one is kind of short for now. I have to go do Eagle things but I will let you know when the pictures are up. Thanks for checking out my latest adventure.

Long road trip

Hi everyone, I took a long road trip with my human and his mate (my silly human calls her his wife, not sure what that is but sounds kind of cool) this past weekend. My human took me down to Homer. I hear there are a lot of my cousins that hang out down there and see a lady named Jean. I got to meet her. WOW, is she nice. I heard the humans talking about how Jean puts out salmon for my cousins when it is cold out. I got to have my picture taken with her, pretty neat to meet someone famous!! I will talk to my human and get him to put the pictures on here so you can all see.

Well, let me tell you about our trip to Homer. It was a long drive and I was kind of nervous because it was snowing and yuky on the drive there. But I didn't worry to much, my human is very careful when we go out and about. When we got there Friday afternoon it was pretty windy and a little rainy. Todd was talking to Dave, another human friend who takes care of my close friend Ghost the snowy owl. They were talking about releasing one of my cousins who had been at the Bird TLC for a while. He was found down there in Homer and not feeling well but the nice people at the TLC helped him get better and go back home.

There were a lot of people who came out to see us and watch my cousin go home. The humans were talking about my first caretaker Leslie and her little girl Morgan and remembering the good times and good things she did. I got to see an old friend who helped Leslie take care of me when I lived with them, Linda Stevens and her mate John. They are sooo nice. All the people were talking about something called a fund raiser for John because he isn't feeling good either. It was neat to see all the people come out to support Leslie, Morgan, Linda and John. Thank you nice humans.

When my cousin left the box that he was in he got picked on by a bunch of darn ravens. Boy, I felt bad for my cousin, just trying to get home and getting messed with. Some birds kids....can't take them anywhere!!!

After my human talked to the people for a little bit and told them about me and how I used to live with Leslie and now live at the TLC, we said bye bye birdie to my cousin and headed back to Anchorage. I like how the humans nest when they travel. We stayed in something called a hotel. Not as nice as a big nest way up in a tree but it did the trick. We had a good trip and I got a nice rat when we got back to the center, mmmm mmmm good. Nothing like a nice juicy rat after a long trip.

I will peck my human to get the pictures up for you to see as soon as he can. Until next time, thanks for checking out my latest adventure.

Owl-o-ween

Hi everyone, my human took me to this event everyone called owl-o-ween at this place called Golden view school. I didn't know what to think, after all I am an Eagle. Would I fit in? Would everyone think I was weird? Turned out OK. There were lots of people there and other bird friends, some who I know from the Bird TLC and some I have not met before. The people were dressed up in all kinds of things, some kind of scarry and some kind of fancy and a little of everything in between.

My human and I saw lots of people who stopped by to see us and ask about me. Now don't think this celebrity stuff is going to my head, I just really like to see new people. I got to have my picture taken with some of the people who came by. Wow, that was a real fun time. My human says we will be going to see more people on the 17th of October, I am not sure where but I will ask my human to let me know so I can put it up here for you all to see. He said we will be going to Anchor Point on the 24th too. That is where I grew up with my previous human Leslie and her daughter Morgan.

My human Todd said this is going to be in Leslie's memory and in support of the Stevens' who took care of me for a while too. He said this is going to be a fund raiser for the Stevens', I am not sure what a fund raiser is but it sounds like fun as long as I get to see lots of people. My human told me that Mr. Stevens hasn't been feeling good and had to see the doctor so this is to help him and his wife. I hope you feel better.

Well, I have to get going. I have lots of Eagle things to do today. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you out in town or down in Anchor Point. If you have questions about when my human and I or any of my friends from the Bird TLC will be out and about call 562-4852 and one of the friendly humans will tell you about us. Thanks.
