Way down under! 

Looks like Quest and Harlie are ledge hopping. They are going from one to another.

Maybe they are playing some kind of falcon board game!   
And you're welcome for the pics. You know I loved taking them for all to enjoy! 

  They are great fun to watch. I had them when I lived in Hamlin. 2 feeders hanging right outside the sliding glass door in the kitchen. Sat at the table for hours watching them perch on the pole that the feeders hung on and wait to dive bomb each other. 

Thanks for the update Kris! I hate it when they put so much effort into incubating with no result. 

                                                                                                   
                                         
   Suzanne, I hope you have the happiest of birthdays with a BIG helping of FUN! 

                                                 

YAY! See ya soon Harlie!!! 

That is sooo cool! 

Excellent! 

Happy Feet goes for his first swim since capture.

I saw that.  Even our 13 WHAM here did a piece on the 11  O'clock news on Happy Feet on Monday night!
It was nice to see him swimming and looking good!

I too saw the report on Happy Feet. He swims like a champ! 

Long time no see Suzanne! I'm very sorry about your little crow family. The whole bird world has taken it's share of hits this year! I can report that the crows are coming back in earnest to Washington Square park to roost at night and lining the rail on top of the Frontier building when I arrive before dawn. 

It is sad to hear about your crows, but there is an abundance of crows around here.  I love crows.  They are so smart and so "clan-ish".  They LOVE their families!  The young and the oldsters stick together.      I love to see the crows in the park outside of GEVA Theater.  Is that Washington Park, MAK, and i don't know the name?    Late at night it seems there are thousands in the trees out there. 

Does anyone know how it got the name a "murder" of crows?  Isn't that the word?    I guess I've never looked into that....

Yes Margaret, Washington Square Park is by Geva Theater and that's where all the crows congregate. 

  Thanks for the update Kat!

Hmmm - in American money? Anyone want to multiply that by 1.41??? Oh, right - I will do it - it comes to nearly 120,000 USD. (Right?) Pocket money.

Oh definitely Bobbie, I have at least that much in my pocket!    Thanks for calculating that! 

There's one born every minute, huh??

Yup!
