Tonight when I first got there I seen a Northern Harrier, actually in a tree. I tried to ease up to it, but it flew to the next tree, and then away. It is so unusual to see one in a tree...especially for more than a few seconds. Most times, I see them land in the grass, and that is where they have their nests. If there is an abundant food supply, one male may have 4 or 5 mates. The females stay on the nests and he supplies their food. I think the reason he was staying in the tree had something to do with it being almost dark.

BTW, I hope I haven't confused you with my music...after giving the award to John at John's Photoblog, talking about why I first kept going to his blog was the music I had on earlier...I just had to listen to it a few times and I put it on here.
Then I thought of Brooke White....does anyone besides me watch American Idol? I actually have only watched it the past couple of years...last year was the first time I seen it from beginning to end. Right away I fell in love with Brooke White. She didn't win...in fact I cannot remember quite how far she got. I had thought to google her a while back and seen she had an album. And while I liked them, I didn't just LOVE any of them.
Imagine my surprise when she appeared on Idol last week and sang the song that I have playing on here. It is a single that is on Itunes...and I just love it! So listen and enjoy--don't you just love her!
