Kris thank you for posting that! I have tears in my eyes. And Donna I bet you'd be the brightest bulb on that tree!! Much love to Lexie!!!

Hey we missed a couple birthdays over the holiday weekend! Sorry Olredhair and sewsueme54. I hope you had nice birthdays. I will sing to you and count your blessings that you can't hear me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU   
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR OLREDHAIR AND SEWSUEME54         
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!

And many happy returns.         

Get a grip ladies they are in your hearts forever and nothing can change that!!! And of course they both count!

Wow Ei those deer pics are amazing! And the titmouse does look a bit ticked off!! 

What a pretty kitty! 

   Hysterical! 

I'm pretty new to falcon watching. I started in 2008, the last year Mariah and Kaver spent on Kodak. I fell in love instantly. There was some in fighting (for lack of another term) going on at the time and so I just lurked. Things seemed to work themselves out and I'm sure they will now. Anne, I'm sorry if I caused you any upset by my post about the logos. I was not pinpointing anyone in particular when I wrote it. I thought I would be helping not only the designers of prospective logos but also preventing any future negative commenting. There are plenty of supportive,loving and caring people on this forum! I too, was saved by them and the falcons. I have so many friends now that I can hardly keep up! Friends that I know I will have forever.
   Everyone has an opinion and everyones opinion matters, but as my late,great mother always said "if you don't have something nice to say about someone then don't say anything at all"! I hope you will continue to participate on this forum and I encourage everyone to share their opinions and thoughts. After all you can't have a forum without them! 
Sincerely,
MAK

  Great pic of the male Cardinal Donna! And Gayle I get all warm and fuzzy inside when I see a male Cardinal feeding a fledgling or his mate. It's one of the sweetest sights there is!!! Thanks all!

I love this pic!

I have many times worried about leaving my backyard buddies to fend for themselves especially in the winter. Thankfully this article has put my mind to rest as I will be away for 2 weeks in a month or so. 

Love them all! Thanks for sharing people!

  Thanks for posting Donna!! You're the bomb!
