Happy birthday!!!!!!

Poor sweet girl   Fly free, dear one and know that your brought joy in the short time you were with us

There are crows roosting near me-- mt hope area.  The other day, I opened the door to let the dogs out and there were lots of crows in my backyard tree.  It was a bit alfred hitchcock-ish but I still think it is ridiculous to do this to the crows.  Poor choice of where to spend money.

Carol and Dana--- WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for great reports and photos!!!!

I think Majesty had a nest -- didn't she?  Ohio?

I didn't know you named a falcon, Ginha!  Very cool and what a beautiful name!

http://www.times-herald.com/opinion/Falcon-inside-store-saved--2055098 Don't hear about this happening too often!

I remember in Toronto, they got a report of a hissing pigeon that was in a moving van (I think near city hall).  Sure enough, it was a peregrine.  I think our friend Linda Woods rescued the peregrine!

Absolutely beautiful tribute.  Fly free, dear Valiant

Bless his heart

wonderful pictures, Kris!!!

This morning the home physical therapist came to evaluate me. She is concerned about how swollen and hard my thigh is as this will prevent full range of motion. It certainly is as when I got measured in the hospital I could bend it to 75 degrees and this morning only 65!  So my goal is to take it easy, keep it iced and well elevated so we can get that swelling down. She has recommended PT 5 times a week until this clears up. I had a restless sleep last nite having a hard time getting comfy. Still bleeding from the incision site where the staple worked it's way loose. This is slowing my recovery down even more as my surgeon said it was going to be a longer recovery this time around because of the extensive work he had to do. Don't worry I am a very patient person and I do as the medical people tell me to do so I will NOT overdo it. I must thank my falcon friends that have come to visit me in the hospital and since I came home including Joyce,CarolP,KathyO,Jeanne and SusanC. And those who have kept tabs on me either by phone,fb and this forum. You know who you are! There's too many to list and I don't want to forget anyone so I won't. I love and appreciate ALL of you! 

You're important to us, MAK!!!

Thanks, Donna!  And Joyce, so glad you were there!

Feel better, MAK!

How many ways can our hearts break

Fly free, sweet Valiant.  You were and are loved

Sweet, precious Valiant

Thank goodness Diana posted that.  They used to use peregrine kakking sounds to rid the birds from the Liberty pole in rochester so that might have been what the person was thinking about.

I think they should leave the crows alone.There are people downtown that I think should be ousted and I would prefer that to the crows.  Just saying

This has been a rough week
