I loved my trip to Wild Wings and love Barf!! Such a handsome boy! 

  I like this!! 

BTW, Martha is the one who, in 2002, introduced us to the term "swearword" to describe a groundhog.

LOL, go Martha~~

http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/ockhamsrazor/bird-strikes-at-wind-farms/4668750 Wait until you see the number of bird deaths each year, not just by turbines alone!

 The United States Fish and Wildlife Service estimates the figure at 33,000 birds killed annually in the United States. That number of deaths is totally unacceptable.

[Martha and welcome!]

Martha and welcome!

Falcon on the mend; return to nature on hold.

According to records on file with the Michigan Peregrine Society database, Allegro is 14 years old and was hatched in Cleveland.

He is about 16 inches long and weighs approximately 1 1/2 pounds.

DC out
Beauty in, Pigott wants DC home before dark! 

It appears that Durand is finally ready to give up on the eggs.  (In this picture they are spread out...however, as I write this Durand came in to brood the chick and pulled one of the eggs under her again!)  At any rate, the chick continues to do very well.  It has grown to the point that for much of today it was able to be left uncovered! Each day it gets a little more mobile, taking short wanderings around the nestbox.  It's daily routine is pretty much along the lines of:  sleep, eat, chirp, sleep, sit up for a bit, chirp, wander, sleep, eat, sleep, eat again, wander, sleep, chirp, sleep, sit up, chirp, eat, sleep... you get the picture!

She forgot POOH!!! 

DC back, making up for this morning's boo boo! 2 hours late!

Today - 5/7/13 - As of 10AM EDT, Nona has 3 eyases and 1 egg.......
