I was at the banding of both! CPF was invited to Pigotts banding and Tracy and I went. DotCa not only was I at his banding but rescued him at fledge time.

Wow, Frank!!!!!  What had happened to Dotca that caused him to need rescuing?

And I thought we had a calm Easter

Donna, thank you so much for posting this.  So touching.  I noticed how one of the gorillas has been mourning.  Koko, the gorilla that communicates through sign language, also wailed when her gorilla friend passed away. 

Jeanne, Kris posted this! 

Oops!  Thanks, Kris (thanks, Donna)!

Gladys' mom has rejected her and she is being raised by "surrogates" for now.

I love this, Carol and so true!

Wow!

I wonder if it is atypical for a male to go after a female like this???

 

evidently DC is doing his own version of the Falcon Dance.  Sheesh. 

Interesting, Jeanne, that RIT has a bird banding station on campus. I'm curious as to why? Is there a bird studies program at RIT?

Hi Barb!  Yes, there are a some classes.  I think they have a station approved by the Braddocks Bay folks.  I didn't realize there was a station until a couple of years ago!
