She found him as a fledgling and raised him. Now her pet!!  (Love the name) 

Al Jordon has put a display of his bird carvings at our downtown library.  They should be there for a month.  Well worth a look see.

Thanks Ruth! Which library-Rundell or Central across the street?

Wow, beautiful owl carving. I'll definitely be checking this out! 

WOW, that is beautiful! Love wood carvings!! Yes MAK, go!!!

Blizzard was a fail, the nest has more snow!! We got maybe 1 inch over night, total between Sat and yesterday....around 10 inches!! NE got hit though!

That's a-ok!  

I am going to guess that we got 3-4 inches of snow overnight here in Greece, NY.

Guess I have to go there to play!!

Now that is an adventure! Loved it, thanks!!

Donna, Ei, Ginny and everyone else on the east coast stay hunkered down until the storm passes and I'll be praying the worst you have to deal with is shoveling your way out! 

... or rationing the mulled wine.

I can make mulled wine!!! We have spirits!! No one wants to see a drunk shoveler!! I have no clue what we are getting, the numbers keep changing. 2 feet is last I heard. NYC, Long Island, they are getting hit. The storm is coming up the coast, 2 inches per hour and it's around the Norfolk area according to the news!! I go out every hour to keep a jump on it. Tomorrow we get the surprise when we wake up! We go on! Thanks MAK!!

Interesting piece, with some ROC input.

Snowy Owls on the breeding grounds are diurnal because it never gets dark during breeding season. However, in winter, using night vision equipment, Norman has found that they do most of their hunting at night (which is also the best time to capture them). He has collected over 6,000 pellets. He has watched these master hunters capture an assortment of mammals and birds including mice and rats, rabbits, cats, passerines, waterfowl including geese, great blue heron, gulls, and even other raptors including American Kestrel, Northern Harrier, Short-eared Owls, Barn Owl, Saw-whet Owls, Barred Owl, Peregrine Falcon and even another Snowy Owl. Distribution trends and tracking during the current invasion seem to indicate that much of the transplanted population is preying on sea birds.

Interesting read, thanks Bobbie!!

Has it been determined that he was in a fight or just hit a building chasing after a bird? He has no other wounds except for the beak and eye!

Without an eye witness, all we can do is speculate.  He could, like Milton, have tangled with a hawk even..who knows.  It's very very cold up here but I expect people that work nearby will be keeping an eye out for Madame X today.  Apparently she and Surge usually roost on the CIBC sign so we'll see what they see.  My concern is that she's now vulnerable - if it wasn't another male then she's now an older female having to defend a site on her own.  We're only a few weeks away from courtship time and there are many single falcons down by the lake area so someone will likely jump on this opportunity.  Let's hope there's not a 'pair' looking for an opening!

UGH, I hope not, poor Madame! She has 3 weeks or more! I don't like this, especially at their age.

I know that many forum members are in the path of this nor'easter coming up the east coast.  Stay safe! 

 

Suppose to get 2 feet on top of the 8 inches we got on Saturday! Did I say, "I love snow?" I may retract that statement! Thanks Carol!

I just listened! OMG....MOMzilla is right!! What one earth possessed her??? I'd be one of those "Featherheads"! Thanks Patsy, that was interesting! Poor little ones!!!

Update on Surge....after being cleaned up his injuries don't look as severe as initially thought. As long as everything heals up nicely Surge should be back on his feet in about three weeks!
