Thanks, Carol!  I don't know how to get tweets on this!!!!  I also have to type faster!  Sheesh!  I was typing and Unity left!

Who cares, we love you anyway! 

She left too

2 at nest now. Harlie and Quest no doubt.

Maybe Quest and Kendal bowing? Wish we could zoom in!

Kris you took the words right out of my mouth again!    Well I guess great minds think alike huh?  

 

I don't know, right before the 2 were in the nest, I saw Harlie running back and forth on the ledge to the right of the nest. I know Kendal wouldn't do that, that's Juvie behavior. Then again, what do I know!

Of the four Nuthatch species living in the United States, the most common are the Red-breasted Nuthatch, seen left here, and the White-breasted Nuthatch, on the right. The nuthatch’s insistent call matches its aggressiveness. As it works its way down a tree trunk, the nuthatch can spot—and eat—all the tasty morsels missed by the rest of the birds working their way up the tree.

With falcon pair lying low, some watchers fear worst

Observers of Fort Wayne’s peregrine falcon pair hope the longtime partners’ era hasn’t passed, but many fear the worst.

Since 1997, Roosevelt and Freedom have nested at One Summit Square, in a custom box built five years before by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

At 26 stories high, about 400 feet above ground, the falcons’ are afforded privacy – as far as they know. But their movements can be observed through a camera connected to a website hosted by American Electric Power.

Not to mention that if they had rescued this poor baby before he ate all that sand and those twigs, it wouldn't have cost this much

This is very true jeanne, they let it go way too long.
