Good series, Annette. Thanks!!

The final results of the voting are in.

The name with the most votes is Orion.

Orion is the constellation of "The Hunter" who watches over Rochester's winter skies and is one of the most recognizable constellations.

The name was submitted by Kristen Weick.

Yay for Orion!!! Good one, Kristen!

Just asking... did I miss the Gender Neutral name(s) choice?

And she's back with her little guy - yay! I was getting nervous! Now if someone would just supply some lunch...

And Our Boy has started to "cry" just now... Hope those parents get back soon!

Wonder what the parents' cue will be to return to the NB. Thought they might have come back by now.

That is such a bemused little face!!

Phew! Nearly missed this! Cannot wait to see whether we have a little lad or lass. And someone pls remind me how we vote for the names...

Oh, and poor Beauty, crying like mad!

Yaaaaaaaaay! Can't wait!

Slainte and good luck to the banders - and the eyas!!!

I love Walter's bird photos - but here's something a bit different. We are surrounded by wonderful things.

Hope someone can ID your mystery birds... I sure can't!!  ???

I know what it is-I just can't bring the name to mind right now...

Ok Ei, I'll just wait for you to remember. Meanwhile, does anyone else have any guesses? 

I was heading for some sort of Flycatcher... The bill is obviously diagnostic but...

Hope someone can ID your mystery birds... I sure can't!!  ???
