Wow!  Unbelieveably lucky guy!   

Black Hawk down and then up and then down and then up...................  

Watched the medical corp of the 401st train on bringing wounded to the helicopter and then the Black Hawk taking off.  So very cool!!!  

At 1:30 they're going to train, exploding a humvee and then doing a rescue.  Going back soon.

This is all taking place at the Greece Town Hall near the library.

A green helicopter heading towards the Greece Town Hall at 8:55 am.

Are there no Cockatiel smilies?  Lucky and Justice are feeling left out.  In fact, I need to get their pictures over on the Watchers Pets section.   

This from WHAM News:

If you see or hear some army equipment in the Town of Greece on Saturday, don't worry, it's only for a drill.

The 401st Civil Affairs Battalion will be conducting a training mission in the Town of Greece.

Town Supervisor John Auberger says the Webster based Army Reserve unit chose Greece because of its infrastructure and amenities.

WHAM News asked Auberger what people will be seeing as part of this mission.

He says, "helicopters will bring in the troops on Saturday morning on the 12th, and they will go through their training exercises utilizing everything within the Town of Greece."

Auberger says soldiers will be on site at places like Greece Athena High School, Kodak Park, and Park Ridge Hospital.

This is all in an effort to help the 401st Civil Affairs Battalion which specializes in rebuilding efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Just wanted to warn those that are thinking of coming down to Kodak Park today for a Mariah Watch.  Not sure how this will affect us.

We will absolutely never forget.    

Remember to order two.  One for the front and one for the back.   

Maybe, when the trees start losing their leaves.   

Possibly she's found a nice spot in the nearby gorge.

What?  You haven't sniffed her out yet?   

Some Peregrines don't migrate Bonnie.  So, it will be interesting to see if Archer & Beauty migrate or not.

Hey Jen,

Congrats on your first post and I'm so happy to hear that you are ok.  Be safe. 

There is a Kodaker that works in the building across the street that is keeping an eye on the taller research bldg (#83).  No recent reports.

I don't think she was actually hanging out there.  I think she's been hunting in that area and roosting somewhere else.  Possibly she's found a nice spot in the nearby gorge.

Do any Kodaker's know anyone who works in that big building in the area where she last seemed to be hanging out? How about enrolling the local resident who welcomed some of you to look at her a few weeks ago? He sounded interested.

Of course I meant that A&B were on the NORTH side of the old Changing Scenes Restaurant, not the south side.   

[Donna - We really don't have any idea where A&B are spending the night. I'd guess it could either be on the Times Square Bldg or somewhere nearby. Carol P.]

Anyone know where Archer & Beauty sleep  at night? Some where on the TS building? Just wondering  ???

Oh, brother..............  :

I do not believe that Linn laid any eggs this year.  We (Kathy O, Lisa McK, Linda W and I) actually stopped to look for her on our way home after RM&T's banding day.  Linn was nowhere to be found.  Haven't heard about any Linn sightings all Summer.
