Aren't wild things amazing? No matter what, they stick with it... tenacious... faithful. We could learn...

I so agree with you Bobbie...look at the Falcon in the Netherlands @ Eemsmond...she sat on those eggs for over 50 days. Finally, the eggs had to be removed. That girl never gave up. Last year the same, oh I felt so bad for her. Unfortunately, I believe one of the couple is sterile and if they stay together, they will never have eggs that will hatch.  :(
