Thanks, Donna - sending to Mirta, as I await further info re her prob. We cannot do without her!!

Not really OT - had to put it somewhere.

Mirta in Argentina posted this on FB - I said I would post it here for her. Anyone help her?? Thanks!

Mirta says: "great! I can't enter rfalcomforum anymore, only can read the messges in my yahoo account, don't know why. I've wrote twice asking advice but I didn't recieve any answer. It is difficult for me now read all the messages that way, without knowing the author or in line all the messages with same subject."

Have not watched this documentary yet, but it looks interesting.

"Inspired by musician and eco-philosopher David Rothenberg’s book of the same title, this documentary explores the intriguing, charming, complex and often conflicting theories on why birds sing like they do and why humans are so attracted to the sound.

The film features contributions from musicians including Laurie Anderson, Jarvis Cocker and Beth Orton; enlightening and often startling analysis from some of the world’s most eminent birdsong scientists; a literary guide to birdsong in poetry; a bizarre birdsong-themed art ‘happening’; the creation of a new musical composition from the Afro-Celt Sound System, entirely made up of manipulated birdsongs; and a strange musical duet at New York’s Bronx Aviary, featuring humans and birds.

Filmed in the forests, aviaries, studios and laboratories of England, Germany and the USA, this is a colorful, entertaining, informative and occasionally weird journey through the songs of nature that have enchanted and perplexed humans for thousands of years."

That was a pretty amazing piece Miss Bobbie!! Alll them birds and the Falcon had such a hard time bagging one! WOW!! Thanks!!

"Safety in numbers" turns out to be true.

Has this amazing BBC series hit the States yet? Here's a clip of a Peregrine hunting Starlings in Rome... there are further related clips at the end of this one. (No doubt if it does arrive Stateside, they will have re-dubbed it, in case "we" cannot understand the accent...)

Earthflight - Peregrine Falcon Hunts Starlings in Rome (Narrated by David Tennant)

Kilkenny will be interested to hear that it is in the UK...

And furthermore... Riverdance has a LOT to answer for!

(There's a haiku in there somewhere...)

First = Walrus. (tho what species of self-respecting walrus would let someone do this is beyond me...)

"I'm not sure what the animal is in the first video, but the second one is a sea lion."

I knew that!

 

Hat cat.

This looks like a lovely production.

Of course I don't mind Donna!  Thanks for posting the pic for Bobbie. 

You'll have to let us know what your sister's reaction was Bobbie.   

I will! And thanks again.

Thanks, D-G!!

Hey, Carol! Could you post just one of your pix of the deer eating from the bird-feeders? My sister will totally go crazy when she sees this, and I would love to send her one. Esp since she is on holiday now in FLA and this will totally rattle her cage. (I am evil...)

Slainte!
