Love this Christmas Greeting. Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and your family! Title: Re: I think it's that time again.....For your Christmas/Holiday Greetings Post by: Carol P. on 24-Dec-13, 09:26:06 AM Now you all know I love a good falcon story. So here is one as a Christmas gift from me to all of you. Did it really happen this way? Probably not. But in the end, it happened.
Merry Christmas Everyone! :santawave: A Christmas Tail Since losing her mate, Mariah had continued to guard her territory by herself and she was very tired. Winter was approaching and it was time to find a new mate. It was not her time to stop raising young eyases. This nest box on top of this tall building was her home. She stepped into her nest box and dug around a bit in the gravel and snow. It was perfect! From here she could see all sorts of buildings, short and tall, with a river flowing through. It was a perfect spot to raise her young. The days got shorter and colder. Mariah defended her territory from passing hawks, eagles and other falcons. This was hers. Mariah was on a ledge just above her nest box eating prey she had caught, when she heard a familiar sound. One she had not heard in a long time. EE-chup! EE-chup! EE-chup! She looked up from her meal to see a tiercel come in for a landing. He landed above her, looking down and chupping softly. He was much darker than her lost mate and smaller. When Mariah made no move to chase him off, he became bolder and flew down to the far end of her ledge. Mariah continued to eat her meal, keeping one eye on her visitor. The tiercel did not move the whole time she was eating. When Mariah finished, she stood over the little bit of food that remained. The tiercel moved closer, walking down the ledge towards her, very slowly. When he got within reach, she lifted her talon and allowed him to take it. It was a start. A few days later, it was Christmas Day and the tiercel was still there. He had hunted for himself, but had yet to offer anything to Mariah. It was snowing hard and the winds were howling. Mariah was inside the shelter of the nest box and the tiercel was on the ledge above her. She was hungry, but knew it would almost be impossible to catch anything in this weather. The tiercel took off and she lost sight of him as he flew into the gusting snow. She was alone again. Time passed and the tiercel did not return. The storm was getting worse. Then Mariah saw something approaching out of the whiteness. It was the tiercel and he was carrying something in his talons. He landed inside the nest box next to her clutching a blue jay he had successfully hunted. She stepped towards him and took the offered meal. EE-chup! EE-chup! EE-chup! The tiercel stood back and watched as Mariah ate. He had proven that he was a good hunter and that he could provide for their young eyases come springtime. Mariah had found a new mate that Christmas Day. With him, she would raise young again. Mariah and Kaver were home.

So nice to hear from you and glad your feeling much better. Merry Christmas to you and your family! Your tree is pretty! Ginha, Your tree is beautiful, especially the angel topper. It reminded my of a story I heard a few days ago .......................... When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where. Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered. Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drunk all the cider and hidden the liquor. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom. Just then the doorbell rang, and an irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful Christmas tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it? And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree. Happy Holidays everyone!!!!!
