That was a great story, Jeanne! I especially enjoyed that the pigeon's owner was from Oswego, where we lived for 34 years.

no, it really doesn't sound good. I feel bad for him all trussed up like that.

What a nice story to wake up to!

Here's hoping the surgical recovery goes perfectly. At least he survived the operation. It's early, I know, but it would be so wonderful if he were eventually be ready for release. Good luck to him!

Thanks very much, Shaky! This was always one of my favorites.

I also think it would be a great idea! Speaking of Shakypix, I am having no luck trying to find Shaky's Kaver poem about his fierceness and hunting skill that ends with "and they call me QTpa2T or something like that. I'd love to see that one again.

This is the Kaver Top Gun link http://shakymon.com/topgun.html. Some web browsers still play the audio.

Love them Shaky!!  need a calendar with those kind of pictures !!!!!   

Hmmm, 2018 will be the 10th anniversary of the final M&K season. Maybe a special edition classic Shakypix calendar would be appropriate.

good one, Donna!

I like vultures too, and they are certainly important in nature's cleanup. I did not realize they were in such trouble with the pesticide. That's awful.

  He looks great, and the patch on top of his head is much smaller than I expected.

Dot in PA

Shaky, I'm so glad to hear you say that!

I think the falcons will be just fine.

  yes, good news. It would be so interesting to follow this eagle, assuming he is released, to see if having dark feathers on top of his head instead of white would cause a problem finding a mate.

Good news!
