Now that was pretty weird!  I especially like the clothespin and the punny remarks. Wonder how many people line up for the job of sorting garbage??

Probably hundreds of them but only on April 1

Chris has been dealing with pretty difficult work-related issues for a while; hopefully things will start easing up now. He said I could report that there are four healthy owlets in the owl box; their eyes aren't open yet - just hatchlings. He is getting and saving the traditional 15-second (if I remember correctly) black-and-white captures and when he has time he says he plans to start putting up the traditional "dailies."  He is not getting the fancy video he had last year, but we'll take what we can get, huh. As for when we can expect to start seeing them, no one can say. Who knows, maybe we'll have an off-season nest box to keep us entertained this year! In any case, all is well.

Thanks for posting these pictures Dale!  

I was so happy to find them!  I probably have a lot of pictures from the years I came out there - need to rummage around and find more!  Hi, Carol  

I remember scratch from the pictures  during the falconwatch weekends.Scratch was a chicken in a cage and always was there with Linda and her husband.Dale used to feed him/her worms.

well, then - one more:

I can still remember Scratch at the end of the pedestrian bridge with Peregrine Falcons flying overhead.  Scratch was very brave!  

and she loved her worms...

the happiest of birthdays to one of my favorite people!!

Dearest Ginha,

Wishing you a terrific birthday, a strong year and all your wishes.

Happy New Year, too, to you and Dave and the family.

Dale
