That's what kids are for!

OK, here's my thought from 2006, as I watched Rhea Mae flying around the gorge, grabbing leaves and talon tagging with her sister and brother.

   "Born of Matriarch, Named for Matriarch's, Matriarch to be."

Little known facts about Rhea Mae.  I considered naming her Mae Rhea instead of Rhea Mae, but it sounded too much like Mariah.   

Mark Nash calls her Ray May.   

Back in 2007, I received an email.  Bad news about Rhea Mae.  She was in really bad shape at the Toronto Zoo's rehab center.  A really bad case of bumble foot.  I and the other Watchers were ready to drive up to Toronto ASAP.  Not that we could have done anything.  By the end of the day, I found out it had been a case of mistaken identity.  Thankfully it wasn't Rhea Mae, but another juvenile Peregrine, who very sadly passed away.   

Rhea was the first Peregrine I had seen close up.  I was mesmerized.  She was sooooo gorgeous!  I had my picture taken with her that day.  She passed away of old age shortly after that.  I cherish that picture.

Amazing and wonderful Carol. Thank you. Poor Rhea, I'm sure you'll treasure that moment.

Speaking of the Count.  Someone needs to post some pics of Count Kaver.

The Great Pumpkin  is the ONLY one I don't talk about
