Our next meeting is Thursday, Feb. 12th, 2026 6pm at The Whitefish Library. Our last meeting was early January with lots of great conversation and attendance.  Tony and his wife traveled to Mexico.  He brought some great bird shots, ocean shots and overall scenes.  I brought some shots of Christmas trees, and images from the Fargo air museum.  We took a tour down memory lane for Jeff's dad as he showed us the planes that he used to fly for the guard.  During the cold war, he was part of the US's air patrol.  He flew everything from the F4 to the F89, which is shown below. It looks like there will be some eaglet's this year from Jackie & Shadow.  They already have 2 eggs on the nest.  Let the fun begin watching them try to hatch their eggs right from the live feed from their nest.   https://friendsofbigbearvalley.org/eagles/
