Re: Raptor rap: A place for the flock to squawk, talk, and speculate about Raptors and related subjects
Thanks bobdmac.... I found it finally as you were typing it probably! IT'S LOUD there! What is that sound? A train going by? Also the one in the foreground that keeps looking at the camera lens looks like he/she wants to fledge any second now... Keeps going to the Heart Attack Ledge version of THEIR nest!!! Wow... Ya, know?... They are kind of cute... In a very cartoonish sort of way... Bville, I think I read something you said about the eagle on Sesame Street? I like that... Very similar.
OK gang... so I bookmarked this one.... Hubby may not be happy that I may be getting sucked into another one... but oh well... Good thing that man loves me as much as he does.. : )

Ya, know?... They are kind of cute... In a very cartoonish sort of way... Bville, I think I read something you said about the eagle on Sesame Street? Sam the Eagle from the Muppet Show Here's a sample of Sam's pontificating rhetoric: · Ladies and Gentlemen, it is I - Sam the
American Eagle. I would just like to say a few words about "nudity"
in the world today. And I for one am just appalled by it. Why, did you know
that underneath their clothing the entire population of the world is walking
around completely naked? Is that disgusting? And it's not just people, although
goodness knows that's bad enough. Animals too, even cute little doggies and
puffy* cats, can't be trusted. Underneath their fur - absolutely naked! And it's
not just the quadrupeds either. Birds too - yes, beneath our fine feathers,
birds wear nothing! Nothing at all. Abs... oh m... could someone, hand me a
robe? ... Mmmhmm. -- 'Source: Second Muppet Show Cast Album',
Discourse on Nudity
*Note: Sam didn't exactly say "puffy."

I can absolutely imagine the little falcon saying that, Bville. Too funny indeed.

There's just something about the similar darkness of the inner brow, wispy white hair, and "attitudinous" curl of the lip (beak).

At 1:18 central time, one of the falcons is out on one of the bars in front of the nest box, flapping its wings.

Re: Raptor rap: A place for the flock to squawk, talk, and speculate about Raptors and related subjects
O.K. bobdmac... now you've created a monster... ME with the screen captures and Flickr.com! Here's one from today at falcon/grenergy.com: (one out on the bar, two in the nest)  Well this photo has disappeared since I posted it earlier... And unfortunately I have since deleted this one from my flickr sight... shouldn't have done that, I know. O.K. lesson learned.

Re: Raptor rap: A place for the flock to squawk, talk, and speculate about Raptors and related subjects
And this one, also from falcon/grenergy.com (Just the two in the nest: "Hey, did you see where he went?"... "No, did you?"  Same thing with this one as the last one. Sorry!
