Stayed up 'til 12:15 but it was really 11:15. Laid awake for an hour trying to get my knee situated just right. Woke up at 3 with hives breaking out. Took a Benadryl,went back to sleep until 5 at which time I took a couple tylenol for the knee, visited the bathroom and back to sleep 'til 6:30 and finally gave up and did my knee exercises in bed and then got up for the day and grabbing another Benadryl for my rascally,itchy hives that seem to want to make a comeback. Phew, I need a nap already!!!   

Well it was a busy Saturday,we camera shopped,then visited 3 nest sites to try the camera out. We found Jack and Angel at Sunlife in Etobicoke,both enjoying the warmth of the sun. Their chin feathers were well puffed out showing just how happy and satisfied they were. Our other stops were less successful as pairs at William Osler and Mississauga Executive Centre eluded us. Back to our Raptor Centre and we had a group in at night that was part of the conservation authorities Hoot andHowl program at Kortright Conservation Area where our birds are housed,so Seamus the Barn Owl and Alexandra The Great..Horned Owl were the stars. Tomorrow...more camera tests and nestsite visits.
  Also of note,my Raptor Watch is approaching a new year count record for the park its held at. Last season we saw 6545 and are currently 38 short of a new high total for the season. The count runs till the end of November,so Im sure we will make it. I hope to get down next week for the record setting day.

Good to hear from you BF! Say hi to the gang up there for me!

Yankee banded 42/Y black/black 2008 Niagara Gorge.  Now that was a search!  Finally found it on the CPF site for Niagara Falls...Sage doesn't have his bands listed anywhere that I could find.  And BB, just for the record, is N/58 black/green.
