Fly free dear Voyager.  It was a joy and an honor to watch you learn to become a master of the sky.  I will never forget you.   

and that's a very good reason to smile!!!   

Here's hoping that you have a most wonderful day today Susan!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

 

Fun stories, Carol P. Thanks!

You're very welcome Bobbie!

Shaky's birthday gift from the falcons.  Watching falcons on the Kodak Tower with the grand finale of a juvenile falcon in the gorge on the "falcon sucking tree".  It doesn't get much better that that!   

Bobbie - The "falcon sucking tree" is an old, mostly dead, tree that hangs over the gorge wall on the east side of the river.  For years, it has been known to "suck" in our falcons while they fly through the gorge.  Named by our friend Dale when she was here for a Falcon Watch Weekend a few years ago.

That and the "bowed tree" are places I always look when I am on the pedestrian bridge.   

 

Falcon on the Frontier Communication Tower until 6:53 am.

Thanks for posting these pics Alison! Love seeing RM&T's little ones.  

Heal quickly Voyager!   

Have a wonderful Birthday Shaky!!!

I think we saw the osprey end of the mural last year...

Saw this a little while ago.  Forgot to post a picture.  It's a wonderful mural.   

There was a falcon, probably a juvie, on the south end of the Cross Rds Bldg.  Gone now.

Tesh made a late-morning visit.

I was wondering where that pigeon wing went after I left my desk 3 hours ago...should have known it was Tesh! 

Tesh has mastered the technique of caching food.   

Nettie hanging out at the nest box!
