Happy Birthday Deb!

 

Oh I wish you good Luck, fingers, toes crossed. May Quest cooperate (for once) 

 

poor little guy I hope he makes it. Poor momma seal.

  poor little guy hope he will be OK.

 

I am beginning to wonder if that isn't a satellite tracking device but an invisibility devise. I would be so happy with just one nice picture of "this is her for sure". Does she look like her momma or her pa? Come on Quest just one little teensy weensy picture.

  Now that is one homely chic!   

Now, Now, MAK!

It's Cugly! 

its in the eye of the beholder the little guy is cute

I just remember we never did figure out who the wintering falcons were what was it two years ago now?

my guess is a Purple Sandpiper winter plumage

[Jack o’ Lanterns originated in Ireland where people placed candles in]

Jack o’ Lanterns originated in Ireland where people placed candles in hollowed-out turnips to keep away spirits and ghosts on the Samhain holiday.

Who knew?

actually that one I did know. Love Halloween

we have a cap on our chimney but we had a house sparrow stuck in our dryer vent once. little stinker flew around the basement for half an hour until we could get it back outside.

so is the PPE to far away for band identification? Wish the lady would stick her leg out for just a few minutes. 

There were 2 other nest boxes at KP.  One was on Building 59 which was demolished, so it got taken down and presumably destroyed.

The nest box is gone, but B-59 is still standing.

There is speculation that the B-83 and B-59 nest boxes were taken down as part of the preparation for the demolition of several nearby buildings in 2006-7. If falcons had moved into either of the nest boxes, they would have been inside the blast zone.

As for the two nest boxes, someone should walk up to the top of the stairwells of B-59 and B-83. I wouldn't be surprised if the nest boxes were still there tucked into a corner.

There is yet another nest box at the top of the stairway at the HSBC bldg (Downtown).  We saw it when we went up to the roof to get a look at the Midtown Plaza rain gutter where Archer and Mariah were exhibiting nesting behaviour.

Sheesh, so many....I'll put one on my house! 

I think that would only work if you had the tallest house in the neighborhood taller than the trees too.
