Thanks so much, Donna!  Chris' pictures are always amazing!  That one of mama on the hard hat gets me!  It reminds me of all the times Mariah went for Mike Allen's red hard hat! 

It's just sad, plain and simple. 

And odd that they are copulating.  I thought that when Mark, the falcon watcher watcher saw it too

OMG!!!! Look at that baby's sweet face!  Wonderful that people get involved!  It takes a village!

Donna, wow!  They really dislike red tails!  So glad that worker saved this little one!  What a story! 

For a little "awwww!"

Poor girl.  This has not been an easy time for her

Excellent, Carol!!!!!!!

Ditto 

A sad first for us

 

Thanks, Carol, he is adorable!!!

Awesome folks!

I'm hoping this is the first one which I didn't think was viable.

I guess Koala's don't imprint? After 6 months of great care, I sure wouldn't want to be let go.  Yay for Frodo!

Great news for that little gal but I agree, Donna!  I would have imprinted on her

Little Frodo is doing well after having been shot (she was next to her mom who had been killed)! Sweet baby

I always think of Wind, who Rhea Mae displaced.  As much as folks up north were happy, they loved Wind as we love Mariah.  Wind wasn't seen for about two years and then- appeared at one of the sites!  I think she is still up there. I will not be surprised when Mariah does the same!

Anne, you are one of us and we are here.  I'm so sorry you didn't go to banding (but there is still Quest)! and I hope you are less hard on yourself.  You've been through some trying times
