So most of you know that aside from Dumpsterkitty, I'm also owned by Chewbacca the Wookie cat.



As you can see, he is a rather large long haired cat. 

Although for some strange reason while I'm at work they choose to sleep together on the floor in their tie-dye blankie...



most nights are spent in bed with me.

Chewbacca also has 2 quirks...he will not allow me to brush him and he will not allow me to trim his nails. These came together in a perfect storm last night.

I woke up at 12:30 or so to Chewbacca howling at the foot of the bed & Dumpsterkitty hissing by my ear. Chewbacca was flailing around and finally fell off the bed. I went to see what was wrong and he was trying to crawl using just his front legs, screaming when he tried moving his back legs. All I could think was he was somehow paralyzed. I had to pick him up as he was headed for under the dresser. I put him on the bed and discovered the problem.

He had gotten his back toe nails caught in a mat of fur on his belly.

Never getting a long hair cat again.

     

   

Wow! She was up there a LONG time!

A falcon fan caught RM and Tiago together today, photos included!

I saw that-sent by our very own nycbird! I was just about to send her an email to say thank you for keeping CPF updated since I've had such rotten luck catching them lately!

They do seem to be moving right along!

Still have a long way to go!

Wonder if Quest is watching from afar! Or anear!

At least we're seeing work again!

Thanks for posting an update Sage.  It's great to see Diamante there and of course our Gleig with him.  Man is she a big girl, he sure picked a good mate - if anything just her size should keep the riff-raff out   

She's big like Pigott! Canadian Falcons are huge, look at DC and he's a male! Thanks Sage!!

It's all that Canadian bacon and beer...and throw in some poutine 

You do know it was the poutine that Rhea Mae went to Toronto for, right? 

Tiago? captured by Kris G


Need RM!

Does look like a black/black band...and Alison's 11/1 capture is Rhea Mae for sure, so both are OK...

If Orville can't return would his brother Wilbur take his place I wonder? For the eyas need a friend and helper. You see how important Orville was to Orion. Then Orville could concentrate and write his memoirs.

There's probably a Wilbur in there that's been hiding in Orville's shadow all these years.

Hopefully he'll rise to the occasion...

Orville could be non-releasable?  Does Wild WIngs need some gravel?  Could he be an education rock?

Oh the stories he could tell! 

Has anyone caught both Rhea Mae and Tiago at the Sheraton in the past 2+ weeks?  Alison asked on BCAW and I've been looking everyday but have been only catching one each time. Just wondering...

I have only seen one peregrine at the nest since the storm. Perhaps someone else has seen both Rhea Mae and Tiago.

November 1:



Today:

   

I'm glad you caught these-I haven't managed to catch anyone at home.

Nov. 1 is definitely Rhea Mae. I suspect today's is Tiago-particularly the second picture. I could be wrong-they've fooled me before.

It almost looks like something is in the nestbox

That's Orvilles ghost! 

Can't be Orville's ghost.  He's still alive.   

How is Orville doing? I had heard a rumor he might not be able to be released into the nest box...

Kathy Q with new suitor!

And I'd say it was Kathy Q that MAK saw from the bus station!

    YAY, MAK finally made it to Arkansas, it only took 42 hours, 5 bus transfers and not 1 BUS left their station on time!! Time of arrival, 1:42AM. Let the fun begin! Enjoy MAK!!

Which 1:42? The one before the clocks were set back at 2, or the one after?

I don't know for sure-all I know is the text message beeping woke me up around 3:10 DST-phone said the text was at 1:39-so I'm thinking it was the one after. 2:39 DST, 1:39 EST
