I have no problem with the original and see no compelling reason to change.  However, I went to the samples looking for something that would be simple and not so abstract that one would have to spend time figuring it out.  None of the current candidates "said"  anything in particular to me.  I guess I'd have to say that the current logo has a history which, for me, trumps any of the current alternatives.

A couple of years ago, we were having our annual Columbus weekend family gathering at my BIL's farmette in the Poconos.  When we woke up on Sunday morning, we discovered evidence of a bear visit to the back deck overnite:  bird feeders had been destroyed, nose prints all over the picture window looking out on the deck and a large "dump" just under the window.  My great-nephew had slept on the sofa just inside that window.  Being a teenager, however, he had slept through the whole thing.

who will be going to a nearby wildlife refuge on Sunday to see migrating snow geese.

OMG, I had forgotten about this.  Paul, your editing is terrific.  It doesn't look nearly as silly as it felt doing it!

It doesn't look silly?! Sheesh, that's the only reason I want to watch!

I didn't say it didn't look silly.  Just not as silly as it seemed at the time we did it.

I wonder if this is the same falcon who made a brief appearance around the Kodak tower on Sunday of Watchers Weekend...before being escorted out of the neighborhood by Beauty and Archer.  I believe it was Joyce, Jeanne, Brian and Dan who saw the encounter with me from the pedestrian bridge.

Tam O'Shanter - Tam O'Shanter is Robert Burns' most famous narrative poem about the problems of bumping into witches at Halloween, particularly when under the influence of drink! The neighbourhood takes its name from the Tam O'Shanter Golf Course (Wikipedia article on Tam O'Shanter-Sullivan, retrieved in May 2008).

While Donna is quite correct about the origin of "Tam O'Shanter," I associate it with a hat of the same name (and origin).  They were popular for little girls back in the 30s and 40s (check Shirley Temple) and I had one that I was quite proud of.  Fancy new things were a rarity during the war years and that is probably why I remember it.  That, and the neat name.

as in this Kapi?

Yes.  Often, they are usually just referred to as "tams."  You can see good, modern ones in tartan shops (real or online).

Great news!  Great photos!  Jemison looks ready to embark on a great life in the skies.

Not that kind of cable, Shaky.    The ferry is pulled across the lake via a cable; no engine.  The ferry at Ft. Ticonderoga is a cable ferry.

That is VERY cool on several points:  The Mink - most people wouldn't recognize one of those varments in the summer; that was a good-sized fish!

I wouldn't recognize one at any time of year!

No one has seen her hunt successfully as yet, have they?  I kinda figured that she was exploring and would come back when she got good and hungry.

This is the hard part every season...fewer and fewer sightings until you just know they've moved on.  
I think it is made more difficult this year because we are only following one.  With four or five out there, one missing for a day is not as noticeable.

Super photo sequence!  Thanks for sharing.

It was a nice little fantasy.  I did think, though, that if Joyce had found anything supportive in her photos, she would have posted long before I ever got home.

I guess I am the last out-of-towner to make it home.  After an easy drive, the predicted thunderstorms that never showed up in Rochester hit here in Vermont.  It was a small cell, though, and the sun is out again.  I haven't had time to read through all the posts as yet, so this may have been reported, but I need to add that the "stragglers" spent Sunday afternoon and evening on a nostalgic trip to the pedestrian bridge.  We were treated to a visit from a mysterious falcon who flew in from the north.  This was followed by Beauty and Archer flying down to check things out.  No aggression but definite watchfulness.  Since the bridge seemed to be a sort of boundary line, we were positioned for a good show.
The welcoming local watchers, the other out-of-towners, the weather, the new location, and the awesome flying all contributed to a memorable weekend.
