Our area in Co. Wicklow is also a release zone for Red Kites, but have we seen any? Guess. We see Buzzards fairly frequently, but no luck yet with the Kites. For obvious reasons, their nesting sites are closely guarded secrets, but that does not preclude a fly-over for us! (Then again... maybe if I hauled my butt away from the computer...)
Your on way less than me!!  Bragging or complaining, Donna-Girl?? Haha! Bragging: NO Complaining: NO Just sayin!  Gotcha - haha! |

Fly free, little sweetheart  These damn windows Such heartbreaking news! I know it's probably too late and very expensive but it should be mandatory to bird-proof the windows. Maybe some day when all the birds become extinct from window strikes and Wind turbines. How is this bird-proofing possible? NOT criticising this idea, just wondering how it could be done. It would be wonderful if there were a simple solution. We have found (and this is only anecdotal) that the silhouettes we have of raptors on two "suspect" windows has worked very well, esp during the fledging season this year. But would big buildings do this? And re "when the birds become extinct"... An old Irish birder of my acquaintance used to say "Ah, that's what we need to do... keep 'em rare, then they might care." |

Bless your boy, Annie - and all of them. My own name - Roberta - is from my godfather Bob who served at the Normandy Invasion on D-Day. Such a young, young man. And never once has he spoken about what happened that day. I salute him especially this 4th of July. A link with a time I never knew.

Now, there's a thing! I did not think American flags could be manufactured outside the USA... no idea where I got that idea... but coming from a family that always flies its flags, I sure am going to be looking henceforth!
(Nothing against the hard-working Chinese here...)
