The Jesusita Fire in Santa Barbara , CA last week caused these two to take shelter together. The fawn is 3 days old and the bobcat about 3 weeks. The fawn came from somewhere in the fire and the bobcat from Carpentaria. They immediately bonded and snuggled together under a desk in the Santa Barbara County Dispatch Office for several hours.
Animal Planet is reporting the bobcat kitten was rescued near Arnold Schwarzeneggers ranch, where it was dehydrated and near death
They rescued the fawn during last weeks wildfire. Although wild animals, especially of separate species, are never placed together due to regulations, in this emergency situation, they had no choice. During the mayhem of the fire, they were forced to put animals anywhere they could, since they had run out of crates large enough for the fawn. The kitten ran to the fawn, and it was instant bonding.

I can do the balance beam---see??

But---I also have words for you DC!

Frank, I just sent you an email bit I see you're on the board.  Have to go into a meeting now but that Oconnor is bonkers    She just flew down the road, to a building only about 2 stories high to drive a freaken Seagull off a rooftop, she almost got hit by an SUV trying to drive it into traffic.  My heart skipped a beat I swear as I thought she was dead.  Then she turns, gains a few feet of height and starts terrorizing the pigeons on the hydro wires and now she is sitting on top of a bloody Hydro pole!!!

Good lord, I hope she's not going to teach the kids that!  Totally reckless.  Angel never, ever came down that low...the kids were on their own if they ever came down that low.  Cripes she's going to kill us if we have to rescue one of the kids.  

  One crazy girl!!

6:04 pm here tonight, so it says.

Culprit! (Spidey)

Time to move on!

!!! Don Mills Banding a sucess! June 4th - 2012 - 2 females and 1 male!
June 04, 2012 - Toronto - Don Mills
CPF Postmaster Reports:

June 4th - 2012
Banding was hosted again this year at the Harlequin head office in Don Mills Ontario with a record attendance crowd! A huge thank you to all involved that made the banding such a great success. Behind the scenes, Harlequin staff pulled together yet another incredible event that will be remember by all for sure.

A big thank you to Solar Window washing and their staff who provided both the equipment, delivery, set-up and manpower to assemble the swing stage that once again got us to the nest ledge allow access to the nest ledge and the young hatchlings.

A big thank you also goes out to Berkley Property management and the board of directors of MTCC 918 for all of their assistance and support, and to Mark Heaton and the Aurora District office of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources for their support in banding.

Lastly, and certainly not least, a big than you to both the CPF staff and volunteers that were on hand (both on the window washers swing stage to do the extraction of the young hatchlings, and theos that were at the banding and behind the scenes) that were involved in coordinating and assisting with the event.

The three star attractions arrived in fine form, no worse for ware, and were sexed, banded, checked for health, named and returned to the nest box and their parents in record time. Just moments prior to the window washers swing stage arriving at the nest box to do the extraction, Quest had flow in with a freshly prepared pigeon, and each of the young hatchlings had full crops at the banding table, so their weights are slightly heavier (by approx. 20 grams).

The three hatchlings particulars are as follows:
1. - 600 gram male - 27 days old, - named Blaze - banded Black R over 41 - with Blue tape
2. - 845 gram female - 24 days old - named Amora - banded Black S over 13 - with Red tape
3. - 745 gram female - 26 days old - named Mira - banded Black S over 14 - with Green tape

Both Quest (the resident adult female) and Kendal (the resident adult male) were on hand to supervise the activities of the extraction team out on the swing stage, and we can report that both adult parents resumed parental activities moments after their young hatchlings were returned to the nest box.

We are waiting for all many of the photos that are soon to come in, so stay tuned…..
