Big time.

Speaking of large birds,

An emu has been spotted in multiple NJ towns. It's still on the loose

... "Update, we no longer need help. We have found multiple experienced people to assist. Please do not go to the area to see it or attempt to catch it."

... "The hard part is they're very fast, so it sounds like they cover a lot of ground in a decent amount of time." ...

Emus, which are native to Australia, are the second-largest living bird. They can grow taller than 5 feet and may weigh more than 100 pounds, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. The flightless birds can run as fast as 30 mph.

DiMatteo asks anyone who sees the emu to contact local police....

I would consider calling in fake sightings. Who's going to prove me wrong? Run free, NJ emu, run free!

I'm not sure if it will be on a loop.

One osprey chicklet died overnight. Chat is full of observations, speculation and commiseration.

That was scary.

Not having bear spray was inexcusable.

Bad Luna . Fingers crossed. I THINK a bird this close to fledging can do well as long as it's not injured in the fall.

It's funny that you're "In the Middle" and getting news about CA birds from a Hooterville newspaper.

Video: SANDY'S ACCIDENTAL FLEDGE! LUNA KNOCKED HER OFF BRANCH WHILE RETURNING TO NEST FOBBVCAM 6.28.26

Wow, that was more dramatic than the article indicated.

Luna be like: Ut-oh, Mom will be pissed. Maybe I'll just hop to the opposite side of the nest and play it cool.

[O Really]

I think Jackie and Shadow have pretty much become "America's birds"

[GoCubsGo]

That's taking sibling rivalry a little to far.

Luna did not seem regretful.

They're semi-fledged now - flitting around to different locations, still getting fed by the parents. Multiple vids on YT.

Remember to trust the eagles!

They sure are looking like slovenly teenagers!
