Flammulated = "of a reddish colour".

Who knew??

 

FINALLY I caught them both at home!



And a look at Rhea Mae's band...I always worry this time of year...

Is there something wrong with the band?

OK. So Mr. is NOT Mr. T, right?? I am confused...

Flammulated Owl!! Gee, never heard of this one  either!



From American Bird Conservancy

Whoa! Flammulated?? Now, THERE'S a word! I am loving it. Meaning??

One advantage Beauty will have is she's probably being kept away from too much natural light so her hormones won't be amped up by natural daylight like the outside falcons will. 

This may give her the advantage of being more cautious and less likely to take adverse risks. She'll also just have left rehab so the memory of humans will be fresh on her mind and she may not want to revisit that so fast.   

I don't want to see any of them fatally hurt.  Each and every falcon is special and a gift in my mind.

Very perceptive thoughts, Carly.

I just cup them in my hands and blow gently. Not with my mouth right on their beaks but with the hand enclosing the bird and the breath. Then (if you need to know this...), they go into the bra in the cleavage for warmth... then more puffing til they are better. Really!

Awesome Bobbie!! Leave it to Cleaver!!!

And she's HOT today!!

Yay to see you out and about, MAK!!!

You know, I have done this on quite a few occasions with small birds... they probably hit a window, and when you pick them up, you wonder what you could possibly do. So I did mouth-to-beak once - and it worked! Been doing it ever since (tho not so frequently, I am happy to report!).

Delighted to have you with us!!

Thought I might be able to vote again but ooops! They caught me! A nice little lead, but we sure could extend it! G'luck to Billy Bob, that handsome lad!

Thanks for all those candles from me, Friends!

 

I never seem to find an unlit candle. But you know me - Tom Sawyer... gets everyone else to do the job.
