WOW!  That was really creative and well done!!!

Thank you for the birthday wishes!  Love Beauty singing!  I can hear it!!!

Too funny DK!  WOW, someone has a LOT of time on their hands to do that whole site!

And, apparently, making contact only 20% of the time. 

 

Get busy with at least stooping in to say hi!

Did you mean to say that?  I have visions of people swooping into the forum at 200 mph, posting and rising off again!

I'm curious as to why "Lurker Come Out Week" is in October.  It seems to me that most of those 502 non-posters who were mildly curious enough to sign up during nesting season would be long gone by now, leaving only the diehards who come here every day for "scraps" of news about the falcons (like me  )  The lurkers should be encouraged to join in during the height of the season when they are more likely to be here, I would think.

Just my observation.

Panel beater???  Had to look that one up!

"A panel beater is a term used in some Commonwealth countries to describe a person who repairs vehicle bodies back to their factory state after having been damaged (e.g., after being involved in a collision).  In the USA the same job is done by an auto body mechanic". Panel beater is SO much more descriptive

Dare we believe again?   

Unfortunately, this is nothing new.  We had our awesome Brittany spaniel stolen over 30 years ago.  Never saw her again.      Almost certainly taken for her Brittany hunting ability.

In fact, the iim7, V7 progression ("two-five," as it's commonly known) - sometimes followed by the tonic chord ("two-five-one") - is probably the most important progression in jazz.

WOW!  And suddenly I've been transported to the Dinosaur Bar-B-Q, sippin' a dark brew, feasting on ribs and pulled pork and corn bread, and lovin' the blues.  Heaven!  Thanks Janet!

WOW!.  Now all you have to do is learn to fly!   

I did go skydiving once!

Duh!!  Birdmusic!  I just got it! Your name!  Birds and music!  Your two passions!    You play piano?   And adore birds?

I play clarinet, flute, and saxophone - and a little piano and guitar.  And I adore birds!
(Clair de Lune is beautiful played on flute!)

Beautiful presentation of Quest, Shaky!   What piece of music is that?   It's wonderful. 

Clair de Lune - Claude Debussy      One of my all time favorites, to hear and to play!

Update of female

The female was studied.
It did not die from poisoning or infection, but probably from heart and circulatory failure. This death is not uncommon in birds.

It is sad, but I am very relieved it was not from poisoning.
