Scratch That Itch

SDP 11-6-14 
I mentioned yesterday that in addition to the regal eagle statues, something else is new at Ozzie and Harriet's domain.  It's… ((drum roll))…that small wooden fence next to the horse.  It surrounds what appears to be an electrical box, which I believe runs cables, power, internet connectivity etc. to the web camera mounted above Ozzie and Harriet's nest.  So, why would this need to be penned in?  Keep in mind, this is a horse pasture where dozens of large animals roam.  And, what's a horse to do if it has an itch that it just can't reach?  Well, last spring, I witnessed firsthand what happens.  Enjoy!

Glad they put that fence up! You should link this post to the Good Fences meme over here: http://run-a-roundranch.blogspot.com/2014/11/good-fences-33.html

Our horses do the same thing! Here in KY they'll fence in individual trees to keep the horses away from them. They're very curious creatures.

Don't fence me out. Gotta scratch!

The owners are putting a lot of effort and dough into making the videos of the eagles available. Very generous.

The video is priceless! I'm guessing there's a limit to how much lovin' that equipment can take.
