still waiting for Ei to say what she saw. She's not talking....maybe smart of her. I like how everyone see's something different. 

OK...took some finagling, but I've got my marked up version at last...of a steaming Thanksgiving Turkey!   

Thursday October 22, 2009
Our three chicks are growing up fast and beginning to move around the nest box.
 
Next Thursday is banding day.  Between 9 - 10AM Australian EDST researchers from the Victorian Peregrine Project will travel up to the nest box to retrieve the chicks for their health assessment and banding.
 
Each year we have a tradition to name the new falcon chicks.  Now that our birds have gone global, we're asking those watching over the world wide web for nominations.  If you would like to nominate a name, please email us with your nomination, whether it is suitable for a male or female and what the name means to you.




Oh no!  She's gonna do that thing where she all of a
sudden disappears!  I don't want to look...really I don't!



Well, maybe one tiny peek...

Well, no birds...but the cockeyed main cam is giving us a pretty architectural picture at least...

OK...I don't think you're nuts...I do see something in the clouds, just can't put a finger on what it looks like.  But then again, I may be just as nuts as you!   

Oh man!  You didn't tell us to have some tissues handy!  

Oh yeah...I forgot to say beautiful selection...some of my favorites through the years!  I'll have to get 2 sets...one for home and one to replace the (pretty ratty looking by now) collage I made of some of these very cards for my Holiday door decoration at work.

With Fall in full swing the holiday season will be upon us in no time.  The Falconcam's merchandising moguls are hard at work creating new items to adorn your homes or to give as gifts to family and friends.
First up is a collection of limited-edition holiday cards.  Get into the holiday spirit with...

Oh man!  You didn't tell us to have some tissues handy!  

Quest has moved back east again...she's making me dizzy! 

I didn't think Mommy would get THAT mad at us!

A bit of brunch...



While those 2 biddies are gossiping in the back...
aren't I the CUTEST eyas you've ever seen??

Le Cirq pooped on the periscope.

I'd love to know how Le Cirq took out a submarine! 

Check out 2 likely candidates...

Sharp-shinned vs. Cooper's Hawk

I've seen both live...I remember when I saw my first Sharpie thinking how small it was compared to what I imagined it would be...both have striped tails and both have brownish chests...

I swear I see 4 in this pic  

Certainly does look like enough fluff there for 4, but I still haven't seen more than 3 for sure...



Then, of course, there's always the GINORMOUS single eyas  

     

Thank you for the compliments!  If all goes according to plan it should be an ongoing series.  I need to get more consistent exercise and I was debating on what to do...a gym...fitness classes...all of which I wasn't sure I'd stick with after spending more than I can afford.  So I looked down at the free exercise machines on the ends of my legs and said...let's go!  My goal is to try a new rail trail every weekend.

The next album is some odds & ends from the walk, including some beavers' handiwork.
