well being a good father is in his genes. He got it from his Grandpa. Not sure how his Daddy was. Speaking of genes. What percentage of "our" next generation will be white breasted like Dad or beige like Mom any guesses? What are Beauties parents like? If I have seen them I don't know who is who.

And...I do have some research at home about breast feather color...there was some discussion a few years ago whether the buff breasted winter visitor could have been an M&K offspring...I seem to recall there wasn't a direct link like in people with blue or brown eyes...I'll have to look later...

How'd you do that? I tried copying that one without success...I'd say Beauty takes after her mother...

Thank you. I appreciate the pics. So she looks like her Momma. Is Erie still Dorothy's mate?

Title: Beauty's birthplace

Has anyone checked out the history of the building Beauty was born on?
The Cathedral of Learning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_of_Learning) is an architectural melting pot - the inside has classrooms designed by the various cultural/ethnic groups of Pittsburg, including remnants of the British House of Commons after it was bombed in World War II. It's fascinating if you like culturally diverse architecture and/or history that you can tour virtually (http://www.pitt.edu/~natrooms/).
And, of course there's the bird culture that can be found on the outside! :happy: What gorgeous buildings to grow and fledge on! (The building on the right is the Heinz Spire Cathedral, common resting site for fledglings.)
