OK - who knows what THIS is?!

 

A scared smiley.

 

Thanks.  I needed a good laugh.

Congrats on your 2,500th post Bobbie.  

I'll be in another section, with the cats, birdies and Falcons.   

Go Storrmin!   

Just got home and onto my computer.  So sad we had to go through this twice.  Sadly, the results are the same.   

Rest in peace sweet prince.  I will forever remember you flying over the gorge chasing your sisters Rhea Mae and Aura.  The three of you were incredible to see.  All I have to do is close my eyes.....

Fly Free Valiant.  You have earned your wings.    

 

From 8 February, I will not be online a few weeks because I go to the hospital.
Since the end of July last year I have pain in my right hip. On 9 February I will operate.

Hope all goes well for you Annette and you heal quickly.  Like all the others have said, let us know how you're doing if you can.  Sending healing thoughts your way.

Take care my friend.

 

I've emailed Sage to please check with Connie from the DEC to verify how the M/T Red/Black is placed on the "color" band.

If it's M/T straight up, it is not Sabrina.  If it's M/T (T tipped to the left), it probably is Sabrina.

As someone stated below, there are all different variations in how the letters/#'s are placed on a band.

Sabrina/Valiant was banded on June 1, 2006, along with Rhea Mae and Aura.  Rhea Mae and Sabrina received the last of the red/black bands that Mike Allen, DEC had.  Aura was banded with a green/black band.

Hopefully we'll hear back soon from Sage.

Remember that Dana said she saw a Red-bellied Woodpecker!   

Yay!  Glad they are back and that nest building is underway.  Thanks Suzanne and Don!   

This is such wonderful news for S2 chances of gaining her freedom.  Thanks for posting Alison.   

Monday, 10:15am.  THINK I saw a bump that could be Unity on north side tallest still.  (before the rains hit)

Well, that's where she was when Joyce and I checked later in the day.  Good job Ruth and thanks of reporting.   

Still working on getting the details.  I don't think anyone knows exactly what happened to her. 

When Callidora, as a very young fledgling, found the gorge.   

Callidora Discovers the Genesee River Gorge - 7/28/10

Good rehabbers always need money...... can we send them some????

You're right nycbird.  Rehabbers can always use donations.  But I've found in many cases they want to remain anonymous so they don't get overrun with phone calls by well meaning, caring folks.  I'll have Kate check to see if the rehabber minds us knowing who they are and whether we can somehow get donations to them.

Mariah's rehabber did not want their information published, so we honored that request.

Everyone does not need to know rehabbers info..... maybe a P.O. Box for Kate ???  Or someone who does know could collect and take it to rehabber.  If Callie comes home to Wild Wings, we might have to pay her bus fare, too.  Pooling our pennies could go a long way with all Callie's fans.

I'll ask Kate the best way to get donations to the rehabber.

Both our babies injured!   I hope she can be fixed up and released just like Jemison!  

Hey MAK!  Callidora beat all the odds!  She made it to her 2nd year!  She's obviously a very strong falcon that has learned to successfully hunt and survive on her own.  Let's hope that the injury to her wing is not too severe.  They heal very quickly.  

Sending healing thoughts and prayers to our dear Callidora.
