KathyO asked me to join her and CarolP  on a ride out to Wild Wings. I jumped at the oppurtunity for every time I've gone to Mendon Ponds Park Wild Wings was closed.  Here's a link to a few pics I took there: http://www.kodakgallery.com/gallery/sharing/shareRedirectSwitchBoard.jsp?token=434440771213%3A1769633849&sourceId=533754321803&cm_mmc=eMail-_-Share-_-Photos-_-Sharee

Is Tory the only bird you got to see, MAK?  They brought her out for us to see when we were there last year. Nice memorial (?) brick!

No Chris, we saw all their occupants. They don't normally let people take pictures but Terry gave us permission. I limited myself to just the falcon pics. The bricks are in memory of Joyce's mom from Donna, Janet and I. Grin

Can anyone get one of those bricks? We got one for Dad from the zoo a few years back and are always on the look-out for gifts for The Man Who Has Everything!

Sure Bobbie, you can get one for dad, just go online or when your up, go and purchase (donation) one. You can get a single, double or triple play! It's the gift that keeps on giving all year round!

Thanks, Donna - I will go to the park and buy one. Dad would love it. And... did I thank you for that link to the (longish) birds in the garden video? Dad will really enjoy it, so thanks so much!

You can also purchase a sponsorship through their Adopt-a-Bird program for any wildlife there.  We bought one as a Christmas gift this year.  The recipient gets notification of the gift, a picture of the sponsored bird with its biography, an adoption certificate and a years subscription to their quarterly news.  A great gift also!

We took pics last year of all the birds (and Bobcat) we saw but not all were on display the day we were there. Didn't know we couldn't take pics and no one told us different. Nice about the brick for Joyce's mom.

All great ideas, everyone. Thank you! Dad can't get out with me any more on our birding hikes, but he loves to know what's up.

Speaking of Wild Wings... they depend completely on donations so if any of you can participate in their events it would be a good thing! They do a fine job there!
The only way I could get these handouts on here is by taking a picture with my camera,download them to Kodak Gallery and get a link.  stupid

Here is the link to upcoming events sponsored by Wild Wings:
