Northwoods Bird Camp 2010 Day 15

I have been thinking I was updating the blog via my cell-phone application for several days–I don’t know where all the posts have been going, but they are obviously not here! Well, I have been here two weeks already. I can hardly believe how fast the time is flying by. The leaves are changing quickly [...]

Northwoods Bird Camp 2010 Days 8 & 9

Grouse for dinner tonight–who could complain? Not me! I say everyday that I am the luckiest girl in the world to be able to be here. We hunt for our food–and are successful! We had a change in the weather with severe thunder storms passing thru this morning, so I didn’t get out with the [...]

Northwoods Bird Camp 2010 Day 7

A quick update on today: I was able to get on the road by 9:15 this morning. Yahoo! It was a lovely 44 degrees when I pulled off the hardtop road onto the forestry road. Perfect for walking and lugging gear–and a great temperature for the dogs, too. I decided to work two young dogs–Citori [...]

Northwoods Bird Camp 2010 Day 6

I just realized that it has already been one week ago today that I started out on this journey to the North woods. Six days have flown by! Madison (now Sadie) and Copper have already been with their new families for a week and I still miss them! Kenai (now, Madison) has been with her [...]

Northwoods Bird Camp 2010 Days 4-5

Howdy, All! Well, things are coming along here in the North woods. The weather has been fantastic—cool, mid-50s during the day and upper 30s-low 40s at night—and a little rain and drizzle here and there. It is just perfect and a nice gradual change for the dogs. I’ve been able to get out for at [...]

Northwoods Bird Camp 2010 – Day 3

Click on the photos for a larger view–and to leave comments! I couldn’t ask for more fantastic weather than we have been blessed with this week! Today was in the upper 50s with a breeze. It was a heavenly day. I am so grateful to be able to be here enjoying this weather, enjoying the [...]

Wild Bird Camp 2010 – Days 1 and 2

Well, we are finally here! Wild Bird Camp 2010 has officially started. It was a long drive and an exhausting first day with unpacking and settling in yesterday. I practically can’t recall yesterday (Sunday) at all! What a blur and the drive and lack of sleep affected me much more than I had thought it [...]

Puppies Gone Wild

The pups had a blast today. It was a cool day and I could barely keep them inside. They preferred to rip and tear all over the yard, dig HUGE holes (and hide in them), chase, point, stalk, oh my! They were really wound up and having a grand time! I tried to get some [...]

In Loving Memory

We are very sad to hear of the loss of Cheyenne, from the Indians litter. She was hit by a car earlier this week on a rarely traveled country road where she was running after escaping the safety of her home. She was an escape artist and loved to run and hunt. We would like [...]

Mali

Mali pointing

Hi all–Just thought I would share this shot of Mali (from the Muscle Cars litter –Jenna x Steele, whelped April 2, 2010) sent in by her owner, Michael Pearson. Isn’t she a beauty? I can’t believe how much she looks like her mum, Jenna! Thanks so much for sending the photo, Michael!
