I have not seen Sadie courting with anyone. Sounds like it’s been a rough breeding season for raptors. Of course, these are the nests we observe. It’s probably been very tough for thousands of nesting pairs we never even hear about.

What I want you all to know is that if I should hear one peep about Bobby I would drop everything and provide an update.

Have there been any courting males that have come to see Sadie? I see no mention of any on other blogs, so I wondered if you had heard anything? The DYFI nest in Wales has three healthy osprey chicks, but the Missoula, MT nest with Iris is now not functioning…Louis proved to be a wanting spouse, leaving Iris without any food or supplies, so she is now alone and waiting for next year…weather has been a terrible factor for some of the RT (Pale Male) and osprey nests, so if there’s any good news on Bobst, let us know!

They grow so fast! The Painted Lady has a huge range as you can see in this map. It really is gorgeous! No word on Bobby. Thanks, Jeanne!

I love the Painted Lady butterfly…just beautiful! Nature is just the most talented “designer” of color.
Where does this Painted Lady usually hang out? She does not blend in but is a dynamic contrast in color and design. I have never seen such a beautiful butterfly.
Is there any word about our Bobby?
Thanks for the wonderment of your pictures and talented camera lens,Roger_Paw.
