It has been four years since I started watching the Cal Campanile Falcons each spring. Prior to that, I didn’t know that they existed – although Annie & Grinnell had been making the tower their home for at least a couple of years. Getting stuck in the house, pandemic and panic in full bloom lead to some discoveries of things local to me – via YouTube.
This year there are four chicks and today was banding day.
The actually banding took about 30 minutes, but a recording was made and replayed as a background to a “live” question & answer session. It was fun and interesting to watch as well as educational. The polls are also open now for name suggestions (social media with the caveat that the names have to have a theme or common relation to each other.)
There is a video of the whole thing on YouTube for anyone who is interested.
Meanwhile, there were a few errands and some stitching – with making some significant progress on Hobbit House. My 1500 stitches today put me at 46%. But still with about 4700 stitches to go, this isn’t really a “small project.”
My challenge tomorrow is going to be finding something that is portable while potentially running errands. 18 ct isn’t portable nor are my projects on scroll rods…I may have to dig out one of the yet to be worked on 2020 WIPs as I am remembering one as on 14 ct..
