Oh, what a awesome picture!  And what a cutie!   

Heritage Trail Portraits at West Main & Broad Street. Can you name the people in the Murals? 

from fb

Susan B. Anthony, Nathaniel Rochester, Austin Steward and Frederick Douglass.  And I didn't even look on Facebook!

What a cutie!   

Hey Tesh!  You going to come out and play!   

Lunchtime!

Nor'easter (center) to Tesh (center): "I deserve the biggest lunch because I went all the way out to the far rail.  Tesh: "I deserve the biggest lunch because I'm the biggest eyas.  Nyah-nyah!" Beauty: "Kids, please don't fight."  Mercury (left, facing camera):  You silly doofusses...I already ate all the lunch."  Nettie (right, facing wall):  "Dear Lord, make them stop!"

A little snuggle for Nor'easter.

Awww...

Mercury and the Pips!

Schatzi's body when it was recovered earlier today. She was donated to the Indiana State Museum in hopes that she was in good enough shape to be mounted and displayed someday. I look forward to next year. I'll try to keep you posted on the adults throughout the rest 2014. They will likely both hang around Indy throughout the winter. Talons crossed for continued good health for Will and KathyQ. I almost didn't post this picture so as not to upset anyone, but even in death I think she is beautiful.

Not posting the pic here as it made me cry! I wasn't expecting to see a pic!!

Thanks for not posting the picture, Donna.  And what a surprising thought that while so much has become "virtual" in the world of science and museums today, animals are still occasionally mounted and displayed.

Two snugglers in the corner here.   

The boys are out in the playpen going for the punk wet-head look, while the girls are staying dry.

That is an awesome pic.  Good catch Pat! 

Thanks, Carol.  They are all just TOO PRECIOUS.

There are quite a few in Canada this year with blue feet. DC's dad Jack's kids have blue feet and DC's brother Skye & Quest have 2 with blue feet! I think it's an epidemic this year!! Speaking of Rosetta, wonder where she went?

Fascinating!

  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!

Yep. The beaks are blue when they are young.

Oh, how very sad for all the Indianapolis falcon fans.  Just one this year and she was rescued as well.   

WOW! I was going to comment on the wings...which are awesome...and the one at the other end on top of the old camera housing...where does the time go?...and the youngest who is still a total fluffball...

Then I noticed it caught Rhea Mae flying in with brunch!

What a super catch!

I was quite surprised! I always look to see if the crane is moving and spotted her.

Wow, that is awesome!
