Come and Knock On My Door.....


Mr. Roeper might not mind these roommates since they're so cute......

It seems that although Sylvia and Lloyd have plenty of food and had a successful first brood, this one is not going to break any records. Only three of the six eggs have hatched as of today. One of the little guys hatched two days after the first two, so he is a little smaller, but catching up. They have been lolling around, trying to keep comfortable in the heat and with three eggs in their way, but today is significantly cooler than it has been with a nice breeze, so they should be pretty comfy right now.

I already knew I would name one of the babies Syd and Nancy just naturally came next. My husband named number three Rufus, so it seems we have a musical theme going. Anyone who knows me, knows I love music, so it's only fitting. If you are at least 30 years old, then you know who Syd and Nancy were, (although I think it's Sid, not Syd, but I like spelling it with a "y"). As for Rufus, you'll know who Rufus is if you are older than 3o. You might want to check iTunes, if you don't know who they are.

So, I'd love to tell you something good about the other three eggs, but I have a feeling they are not going to hatch. There are multiple factors that can affect an egg, but I don't know how to determine the cause.

Well, back to final preparations for my program on the bird cam for Parks and Recreation tomorrow. I hope many people will show up!
