Congratulations, Leo...Good job! You guys predicted it right-on!

Such sad news about Silver, after the ups and downs, and final cautious optimism that he might possibly recover enough to become a well-cared-for "ambassador." Silver and his parents, as well as all of the humans involved, did their very best for a good outcome. Although his life was brief, he did indeed make his mark. Farewell little one.

I'm sorry for your loss, Bobbie. It's a big one. Take care.

Thanks to FLaDonna for her texts and calls, and to everyone involved in keeping all of us informed about MAK's surgery.
Let the healing begin!
But try not to make her laugh too hard...Ouch!

My sincere condolences to Glo's family.

My condolences to all over the loss of Luzerne, and so terribly sorry MAK lost one of her beloved resident Falcons. Just reading comments about possible human involvement was sickening. I do hope that's not the case. Yes, a very sad week in the Rochester Peregrine world.

Thank you, FlaDonna, for emailing me this news before I read it for myself.
 
I'd like to share my reply to Donna, and her very wise answer...
"Thanks for the warning, Pal. I was just looking at her pictures on my wall calendar. Sadly these accidents happen all the time in the wild, but we're unaware of most of them. Therefore the creature suffers a cruel death. Thankfully she was found, was in good, caring hands and sent on her way the most humane way possible. All this is said with my wise mind. So why am I blubbering, and sick to my stomach?  :^("

Donna's reply was, "Because you reason with your mind and feel with your heart."

Many thanks to those who found and cared for Voyager. Larry, I'm especially sorry for your loss." She did, however, survive past that year mark, which is something to be acknowledged and celebrated.

What joyful news! Thanks, FlaDonna, for calling me at work. Congratulations Pigott and family. I was also wondering if the visiting unbanded tiercel had swept Pigott off her talons and persuaded her to follow him on an adventure. What a big cute baby. Excellent name choice, too!  

Enjoy Your Day!  

A little bird (aka FlaDonna) told me...Wishing you a Very Happy Natal Day, Camp! 

Congratulations on making it back to Rochester, MAK!
You may like the cold, but be careful not to get frostbite in your enthusiasm to get out on a watch Wednesday.
Wonder if your camera will even work?!

Aw-w-w-w MAK. Again, thanks so much for taking us along on your vacation and educating me about the beauty and wildlife of Arkansas. It'll be tough leaving this Paradise, your family and all the beautiful creatures. Take three deep breaths and head back home to your beloved PEFAs. 

Beaver Lake looks pristine and peaceful. Happy Birthday, Mary Ellen!

Nice work Eagle Eye! Oh I wish I had your steady hands for videos. Can't wait to see what adventures your have today.

MAK, you could work for vPike getting pictures of all those back road houses they don't get to! It looked like a beautiful day in your Arkansas Paradise. I know you're savoring every moment!
