Thanks, everyone, for the birthday wishes.  I don't get on this site too much anymore so I'm sorry to take so long with the thank you.  Just checking in today and it was a nice surprise.

Thanks everyone, for the lovely wishes!  And thanks for the birthday eyas too!  (I'm in Colorado traveling so I didn't get a chance to respond until today, sorry.)

Okay, so I'm really late, but this is the first time I've checked in in a very long time.  Better late than never??

I mostly lurk, but during the busy season I may pipe up from time to time.  In the old days we used to post pics with funny captions more often and I did that once in a while.

I've been around since 2000?  2001?  Something like that.

Didn't watch much last year, very busy, so don't have a favorite moment.

Favorite falcon - Kaver, our cutie patootie.  Never forget when he fed Mariah after she was hurt.  Still brings tears to my eyes.

Nature by me - fall hawk migration on Mount Wachusett.  It's about 20 minutes away and I love it.

Thank you for the beautiful card and lovely good wishes on my birthday.  I haven't been around as much as I used to, but am looking forward to see new hatches when they come.  Colleen

   Happy Birthday, Carol!   

Thank you all for the birthday wishes.  I can't wait for eyases - that will be my gift!

Put me down for Tuesday at 7:32 am.

He has my vote! (and is still leading)

A whirlyhead for Dale!

   I spoke too soon - got my weekends mixed up.  That weekend is completely booked, so I'm not going to be able to make it.   But I look forward to hearing all the reports - you guys have a good time!

Count me in!  Made my reservations at the Radisson this morning.  (Hyatt is booked, by the way)

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
