very well done Tracy & BF!
 BTW  you might want to practice the driving a bit before you take your feathered friends for a ride.You wouldn't want to stress them more than needed. A driveway or fairly empty parking lot are good places to practice.

Years ago I was visiting my Aunt, and she asked me to take her to to renew her  DL. I had never seen her behind the wheel of a vehicle. I asked her when she had last driven. The answer , the day she had gotten it. She only kept it up in case of an emergency.

Watch out, Ospreys! MAK's on your track!

Super slide-show - loved that big black butterfly - can anyone ID?

I'm pretty sure it was a Buteous Gigantus Veridarkus Butterfly.

 Good id Carol

Kris,
I remembered that Joyce had tweeted something about U looked like she was in incubation mode . It was on July 3. reply #5111.
 If the eggs are viable hatch should be early August maybe around the 6th. Fledge would be in September. 

Also everyone, please remember Rochester usually has a mild September and October. The earlieest snow I remember was October 31.

 May you have a happy, healthy year filled with everthing  and everyone you love!
 Hope you had a wonderful day!

 Linda & Craig

Sorry to hear about your Mom. I'll keep her in my  prayers.
Safe journey!

It's not necessary for the birds to die, they do moult. And feathers, if stored correctly can "live" many years .
 Think feather beds, down comforters, down coats, etc.

Chris's site is up and running again. Mme. Owl now has 4 eggs as of March 19th. I saw them a bit earlier tonight, but now she's back brooding!

This is great! The visually impaired are loving it!

Thank you for the condolences.

She was everything you all said and so much more.

 Someday I might be able to share her story.
Linda

Scratch crossed the Rainbow Bidge today to loin her sister Peck.
She died peacefully sleeping in Craig's arms, one of her many favorite places to be.
RIP little one

Thanks for the birthday greetings.

Deborah, hope you had a great day too!
