Happiest of birthday Larry!

You're probably gone already and I just saw this.  I haven't been on a motorcycle since '78 or so.  Never drove one, but loved riding on it.  That sounds fantastic, pictures I've seen are beautiful down there.  Be safe and looking forward to hearing all about it. 

Awww loved the fledgling robin and little squirrel story.  Sorry you got a big job on your birthday, but at least you got a chance to check in.  And yes SWALLOWS 

Have a great birthday Dale! (Three of the five little ones from next door this spring.)

 

Do they know from where yet other than just NYC?   

Wow, just like the Pale Male saga........

Thanx you guys, I had a nice day.  Didn't really do much of anything, but that's ok too. 

I just went in and liked her facebook page, she's really good. 

Shoot    This is so much like at the King Plant in MN this year.  Belinda (I believe 15 this year) disappeared after she started laying eggs and a new female is there.  I've never heard that anyone found her and she didn't look good this spring.  Brent was bringing her food a lot.  We realized Brent is gone too.  I keep hoping he stuck with her and they left.  We don't have band readings on the new ones, possible on the male, but none on her yet.  Belinda was the gal that killed Mae back in 2004.  Belinda was a holy terror at banding time.

I'm so sorry about the pair from here, I've kept tabs on them for a long, long time too.  I hope they hear something. Fingers are crossed.

So sad to lose Luzerne when she was so young, but at least she had a chance to "be a falcon". 

A pic from today...

Fantastic Lou 

Awww fly free Voyager    That sounds like a falcon that had a lot of guts and gumption.

  Why would her feet be blue?  I've never seen that before.

It may be that it is a genetic trait passed on by Dot.ca.  Rosetta, hatched to Beauty and Dot.ca last year, also had blue feet, as does Tesh's brother, Nor'easter.  Dot.ca's feet are not blue, but he has some relatives with blue feet. 

That's really interesting Patsy.  I noticed in the last picture before the post I'm making where they are hanging their heads out that the beaks even have a bluish cast.  Thank you!
