Update on Spirit Spirit post surgery update: Went to visit Laura (8-5-13) and got to see Spirit (from the ArcelorMittal site) before I went away for a few days. Even though she’s no longer on a timetable to return to the nest site (as her siblings have dispersed and returning to her natal area is no longer an option) Spirit continues to progress since the large granuloma was removed from her throat. While I was there I got to hear her “voice”—her call is no longer muffled and strained. She’s eating on her own (and is using her tongue, which wasn’t functioning previously) and has just been taken off medication, so next she will be in a flight cage. It may continue to be a long road for her, but it was fantastic to see her bright eyed and “peregrine-like” after seeing her nearly lifeless when I first picked her up. She is able to be hooded now during weigh-ins (as before she couldn’t close her mouth because of the plaque so hooding her would have actually been more stressful). This shot is just after a weigh-in and some treatment with meds (which is why the feathers are wet around her mouth). She came in at around 650 grams (where she was with the last shots of her that I posted) and at this weigh-in she was 780 grams.

I was part of the 2012 RIT Big Shot at Seabreeze Amusement Park in Irondequoit, and it was a lot of fun! Over a fifteen hundred people participated, wearing black from head to toe and illuminating the subject with flashlights. Only the people instructed to wear colors actually appear in the photograph. Seabreeze was in May instead of February. I guess if I go this time I'll have to wear my black parka, and I hope they don't make me stand on the bridge or the observation deck in the dark! The Seabreeze Big Shot can be seen at http://bigshot.cias.rit.edu/big-shot-number-27/. I'd love to do something like this! Me too! Wow Pat, cool!
