Could you do something with that spider?  EEEK!

Jeanne, if you find spiders a "Big Ick", I double-dog-dare-you to check this piece by Bob Marcotte from 21 September...

Donna, I may never be the same!  OMG!

I also found a picture of Mary Ann with her transmitter in 2000. It shows her black/red band but not well enough to read it.

I'll take whatever you have...it's better than nothing!

Mary Ann

Awww, Mary Ann!!!  Dan S. rescued her!!!

Could you do something with that spider?  EEEK!

We need the Orkin Man!

Great poem! What a year it was.  Mariah's injury was heartwrenching and Kaver's devotion was heart warming.  Both the reason for many tears.  Rhea Mae and all the babies sure have come from amazing stock! 

Aural Aura!  She was definitely vocal!  And probably gave Rhea Mae practice for those stomping skills we have seen during banding for her babies!

This is such wonderful news!!!!!  Mariah and Kaver, your legacy continues!!!

And about 5000 pictures would be taken of anyone attempting it

It would be wonderful if one of them was Jemison 

Or Callidora! 

The two female juvies were fairly dark, so that is what I was hoping.   

It would be so nice if they were both there and reunited.  I felt bad that they missed their bonding time together...I remember how precious they were together at the nest box 

That's what I found to be the most sad too!

The mayor knows about the falcons!  When he has come out of City Hall and has seen the watchers, he says "falcons?"  I think he needs to declare them the city's bird. (He is running for lieut governor so we may not have him for long:(

I'm pretty sure there was still yellow tape.  But that doesn't mean it would still be there.  Quest's tape  was off in Cape Cod

Wouldn't that be awesome?!

i can't even write what I am thinking and feeling, I am so incensed

So cool!!!!!!!!
