Happy Birthday, Ei!

Still there!

It's amazing to think of Osprey flying over the Sahara.

This is really special. All this season, #3 has been positioning below the wing, where it is tiring to fly, leading to birds following him and dropping out. On the last flight, which was days ago, only two flew all the way, the remaining six arriving in crates. This time, they are riding the tip vortices from the trike and each other. They have suddenly turned into a real migrating flock of birds!

Catch them now - they will be on the ground in Illinois in an hour.

Great pictures, Lou!

With most of the Rochester juveniles migrating to Canada, it's good that some are going in the opposite direction. Good to hear Luna is doing well on her own!

Paul

Wow! What a treat!

Thanks, Patti and Jeane. The geese were a great ending.

Great bird!

“It doesn’t matter what they label their ‘green’ buildings,� Klem said. “A building’s never green if it’s killing birds.�

Good point. Also true of wind generators.

Have a great birthday!

Everyone have a great breakfast tomorrow! Catherine will be in a play, so I won't arrive in Rochester until 3 or 4 PM.
