You know what immediately came to mind when I read this?  The Quest T-shirt pic.  I'm thinking a stylized version of it might make an outstanding logo...

Just as long as it has a home somewhere as our "Legacy" logo, I'm OK with change.  

There are many that do like the current logo, but the majority of us felt a change was needed.  Something more dynamic.    

After many years of faithful service, we decided it was time to retire our Kartoon Kaver in the Egg logo.

OK...I'll say it...I like Kaver in the egg.  Not saying it can't be changed...or shouldn't be changed...or whatever.  Just saying I'm partial to it personally.

Interesting idea...for some reason I'm being drawn to #36 with some modification-the beak feels a bit parrot-ish...

Hi gang. Saw the Screech Owl video and thought Id post my you tube sight. Ive
got many Peregrine,Owl and animal videos. If you go here
http://www.youtube.com/user/CPFFrank and click on see all,there should be over
30 videos available to watch. Many you will already have seen when loaded to
tinypic but they are all in one place now and I enjoy watching some many times.
There are banding videos,fledge watch videos and the CPF educational birds at
the shows. Enjoy at your leisure.
  This is my photo website,tons of bird and animal photos,always adding more.

    For those who know us...Tracy and Marion are hard at work in the CPF office
trying to get alot of our website updated and humming along. A new members enews
letter is being worked on too. Monitoring at our nestsites continues,with
occassional spotchecks.
    My raptor watch is almost over for the season(as is the fall season!) but it
sure has been an amazing year. We sighted 83 Peregrine Falcons. We had record
high numbers of Bald Eagles(73) and Osprey(211) all great news for formerly
endangered raptors!
    Watch for more Owl news from me and videos. Our little Screech Owl has
returned to the park for the winter. His mate showed up in Feb last year. The
2nd pair hasnt been seen yet but soon Im sure. We'll be doing a big Owl and Hawk
outting later in the winter heading from Toronto to Lake Erie. At the power
plant at Nanticoke Bald Eagles gather every winter. We have seen as many as 20
in a day there. Security is more tight,but we have nothing to hide so dont mind
being quetioned. If lucky on this trip we'll see hundreds of Redtails,a few
Roughlegged Hawks,Snowy Owls,Long-eared and Short-eared Owls and the Eagles
among others.

If you have ever traveled with a dog, you will most assuredly appreciate this blog post...

Looks pretty eagle-ish to me...

This must be the same one that was spotted in Rochester!! 

If that's a Falcon.....

And here we all thought the guy was nuts!  He didn't say his tin foil hat was tuned in to Emirates 24/7!

Thanks for the pictures Ei.  What is the 2nd smaller bird?
     Lola
 

It's a tufted titmouse...pics 3 & 4 as well.  I have zillions of them back there!

Taken today hanging out my bedroom window

The first 2 are fairly classic...

   

These 2 I'm adding at full ginormous size...the composition is awful,
but I managed to catch some fascinating details best seen at full size. 
In the second one, the interesting bit is top right.

K is for Red Knot

From Cornell All about birds

The Red Knot is the largest of the "peeps" in North America, and one of the most colorful. It makes one of the longest yearly migrations of any bird, traveling 15,000 km (9,300 mi) from its Arctic breeding grounds to Tierra del Fuego (Hi Mirta!) in southern South America.

Cool Facts

    * The Red Knot does not regurgitate undigested hard parts of prey, as do many species of birds. Instead it excretes the hard parts in the feces. Researchers have used fecal content to examine food consumption rates.
    * Red Knots concentrate in huge numbers at traditional staging grounds during migration. Delaware Bay is an important staging area during spring migration, where the knots feed on the eggs of spawning horseshoe crabs. It is estimated that nearly 90 percent of the entire population of the Red Knot subspecies C. c. rufa can be present on the bay in a single day. The reduction in food available to the knots because of the heavy harvesting of horseshoe crabs may be responsible for a decline in Red Knot populations.
