Very nice pics Carol. She's all over DT. Waiting for that 1st appearance to the nest box! 

P.S.  Couldn't figure out how to light a candle? 

Beauty is down to 25 lit candles. Most of them have burned out. Time to light another.

OK, we're back up to 73 candles....THANK YOU ALL! If Beauty could, she would thank you also! 

2 excellent pics of Mariah! Love the shadow!!

That was cool and MY we use a lot of electricity!! Thanks Ei

I want one!! Cute, perfect for DT!!

OMG me too!  

"Will you be able to fly after your rehab?" Yes Margaret I will, why do you ask? I flew to Arkansas for the holidays after my first knee replacement,remember? 

LOL, MAK......think Margaret meant to ask if rehab would "give you back your WINGS so you could FLY" along with Beauty.

  Oh boy, sometimes I'm pretty thick!  Thanks for 'splainin' nycbird! 

 

I want one!! Cute, perfect for DT!!

!!! Takeout on Ledge 2!
February 13, 2012 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre

Kathy Reports:

After a  cold and snowy weekend, we returned to milder conditions and sunshine today.

Angel was basking in the sun as usual early morning and then around 11 am, Jack flew in with some lunch for her.  There was a lot of chupping and fancy flying and he left his present on ledge 2 for her and she flew over to indulge while he took her place on the cam.

I’ve also had a report that he’s been exhibiting courtship behaviors with TR Mom at his other site.

Peregrine Spotted @ Niagara Falls
February 12, 2012 - Niagara Falls

Frank Butson Reports:

Recently Jean and Bob Hampson visited Niagara Falls. While there they spotted a Peregrine Falcon Bob wrote:

 â€�Jean spotted it first as it flew down river. It then landed on a shed on the
roof of the hydro building. It remained there for a short period of time. We did
not see it fly away but it returned when we were closer to the shed.We believe it uses this shed as a roost quite often. We spotted it in the
same spot in January of 2011. We’ll inform you of any future Peregrine Falcon sightings we have in the
Niagara Region.�

Thanks Bob and Jean,we look forward to future reports. Bob and Jean sent us along the photos below, that give an idea of where the Peregrine roosts.

Best Regards,Bob & Jean

How on earth did they find something that small? I'm not a Lizard person but this guy is cute.

I must check to see whether this is the same species of Wheatear that breeds in Ireland. Quite the traveller.

CALIFORNIA, Pa. (KDKA) — Thousands of crows have invaded a local town and university and people want the birds gone.

The Wildlife Rescue Association is asking bird lovers to clean and disinfect their feeders and bird baths after admitting more than 50 pine siskins for treatment of salmonella since the beginning of January.
