DC? If so, he is talking to himself.

No, Beauty was there!!   

Only later did that occur to me, DG!

Thanks for the spoiler alert, Donna!  Don't know if I would have had the courage to watch it without it.  Yikes!

Honest! I only watched because of that "offering" DC brought to the NB the other day. Just shows that it would be possible to bring back a duck. Who knew. I too was pleased at the escape, which I did not expect!

Thanks for the description, Ei.

We just had a rather strange bowing session.  Dot was doing some deep bows and coming up almost like he was feeding Beauty something.  I know he wasn't, but that's what it looked like. 

Almost like "Here, have some pebbles, dear.  It'll help."

Seriously, will one of the experts please explain to me what was going on here? I really want to know. Did anyone else see that bowing session?

Okay, why is no one talking to me? Can you not see my posts or am I just being ignored?

I swear I posted before I left for work this morning. I didn't see it but they seem to be beaking. Usually parent & eyas, but I've seen it in adults too.

Description of "beaking"? So interesting.

Did not know where to put this, so here it is. I am posting it because it could explain that rather large offering one of "ours" brought to the NB some days ago.

Whoa Bobbie, that freaked me out! Glad it got away!! My heart is pounding!!

For others: SPOILER ALERT!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Maybe there aren't any falcon behavior experts here.

I wish I had seen the bowing session. I might have been able to zoom the camera.

Curious indeed! We are always learning! Someone may come up with something...

Do you think she is "getting ready"? Now's that time when I love to see the stats re egg-laying dates. Ei?? I think you are the Keeper of the Keys...

Beauty is still there at noon.

And at 1.30pm.

Oops! Meant to post pic too.

The reason given to my co-worker when he asked one of the employees there was that Tim Horton's is closing all of their cafes in Rochester that don't have drive-through windows.

The Lord forbid we should WALK.

MORE BAD NEWS!  The Tim Horton's on Broad Street at the Library is closing.  Their last day is today.   

I HATE CHANGE!!!
