Shaky! Shaky! Shaky!  That was a good one!

Rfalconcam and its parent, GVAS, were registered separately for ROC the Day. However, the number of unique donors for both were combined in calculating the total. Therefor, the $5000 will be split between the two. The amount of money each gets will be in proportion to the number of donors each had. We haven't received the list of donors yet so we don't know the exact ratio, but based on the amount of money received by Rfalconcam and GVAS, it should be heavily in favor of Rfalconcam. (80-90%)

What was the final split between Rfalconcam and GVAS?

They have a video posted of hatch 1.  Interesting that Mom helped it out of the shell.

I saw that too-thought it was strange but then I didn't know if it was what Owls do.

There were 6 eggs-looks like maybe 2 have hatched.

Awesome!  Thanks so much Kris!  I'll send the pic to Linda.  She was starting to get worried because they weren't on camera and she couldn't find them during the day.  She will be very happy.  

You're welcome.  There's more pics on BCAW-I just posted this one.

WINORR- Wildlife In Need of Rescue and Rehabilitation

 We are extremely heart sick to have to announce to everyone that Violet has passed away . She came through the surgery very well . She woke up and was sitting up fluffing her feathers . All of a sudden she had a heart attack . the Vet did CPR on her for 20 minutes to no avail. xrays showed that at some point after her right foot had deteriorated , her left femur was broken . we don't know how she ever survived for as long as she did . We are somewhat relieved that at least Violet wasn't suffering alone somewhere . She was warm, peaceful and had a full belly and pain medication .We just couldn't get her in time .

 

We got everything moved and almost everything works. A $30 gizmo that captures video for Stream 2 broke. We'll try to replace it tomorrow.

Good job and thanks to all involved, especially TS for giving you more space!
