Non Sailing Adventure

Saturday was a very nice day. After what has seemed like 40 days of rain we had some sunshine and warm weather. Rosy and Beretha came to the boat with me and hung out eating candy, hard boiled eggs and drinking diet pepsi. Exciting stuff wouldn't you say!
El sabado fue un bonito dia. Despues de 40 dias de lluvia tenemos sol y clima caliente. Rosy y Bertha vinieron al barco conmigo y comieron dulces, huevos duros y pepsi. Cuanta diversion no crees.

It was nice for them to come and spend some time with me.
I know the pictures aren't great because I used my cell phone to take them but at least you can see how the day looked.

Fue bonito para ellas venir y pasar un rato conmigo.

Las fotos no son muy buenas pues las tome con el celular, pero al menos pueden ver como se veia.

I cleaned the boat and am preparing to take it out for a mini Cruise perhaps next week weather depending.

By the way There are baby Woodpeckers and I will try to get pictures of the babies and post them here soon.

Limpie el barco para sacarlo a un mini crucero la proxima semana dependiendo del clima.

Hay pajaritos bebes carpinteros y tratare de tomas fotos de los bebes para ponerlos mi blog.

Maybe Baby

Well it seems that there is some additional activity in the tree. I spend way too much time with binoculars and Telephoto lens and now my Meade telescope trying to see deep inside the hole in the tree.
I have read that the red headed Woodpecker makes a nest hole inside about 6 inches in diameter and eleven inches tall. I have figured that the base of the nest is below the hole because I can see (sometimes) the back of the mama bird as she rests inside. I just cannot seem to see little peckers but I think they are only a couple of days old at the most.
There is more activity with the Mama and Daddy coming and going and I have observed some "maintenance" like throwing things out of the hole.
I am incredibly anxious to see these young birds. As I noted in my last post I have had to shoot a couple of times at squirrels who appeared to threaten the Mom and eggs. They seem to have lost interest or perhaps got my message. I don't count on the latter they probably just said the heck with it since the hole is small.
I hope to have some baby pictures soon. Stand by!
