Bird Cams Around the World

Barb, sorry to hear about Jake these things are so hard on us. Sure glad to see you and to know your going to be here a bit. The house thing, well I really feel for you there. Every time we think it is all ready something else pops up and then its back to the drawing board.

Thanks everyone, I started going through it all today and got distracted. Let me know if you have any special memories or thoughts from this year. I did confirm with Sergio that she is the smaller one (slightly). All I can remember is her sitting on the crane all day and a small crash landing day two. Of course, they were both overfed and adorable too. This could possibly the last hatch for this pair so it will be a great lasting memory of them to have her around. Amanda is totally smitten as we all would be.

YOU KNOW OBXBARB, I HAD THOUGHT PREVIOUSLY ABOUT GOING TO WCV SITE AND INVITING AMANDA TO VIEW THE 2014 SEASON HERE AS A GUEST. I WASN'T SURE ABOUT POSTING OF THIS SITE ELSEWHERE. IT DOESN'T TAKE TOO LONG AS THERE ARE ONLY 41 PAGES NOW. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW FROM WHENCE SHE CAME (OZZIE AND HARRIET AND PREVIOUS NESTS) AND THE STRUGGLES THIS NEST MUST OVERCOME AND THE LOVING CARE AND CONCERN FROM THE BIOLOGISTS, FLEDGE WATCH GROUP AND OF COURSE US! ONCE THE PICS AND VIDS START SHOWING THE LEGS AND FEET OF THE 2 SISTERS, YOU CAN TELL WHO YELLOW-BAND IS AS SHE HAS THE BLUISH ONES. AMANDA WILL BE AWARE OF THIS. WHO CAN FORGET SEEING "THE CAGE" FOR THE 1ST TIME? THEN SIS IS BANDED AND SHE IS NOT D/T A WEAK TALON AND SHE'S OFF TO THE VET THAT DAY INSTEAD AND WE THINK SHE IS MIA! SHE NEEDS TO SEE MOM'S FIERCENESS FROM THE NEWSPAPER ARTICLE THE DAY SHE STARED DOWN THE BIOLOGISTS THROUGH THAT OPENING IN THE ROOF WHEN THEY TOOK THEM TO BE BANDED AND BE AWARE MOM KNOCKED THE HARDHAT OFF THE BIOLOGIST'S HEAD THE DAY THEY ACTUALLY DID BAND HER! ALL OF THIS CAN BE ACCESSED FROM THE SITE. I THINK SHE WAS THE FIRST TO FLEDGE WITH A SHORT TRIP AND THEN OFF TO THE MOVING CRANE, ETC. EVEN WHEN SHE WENT DOWN ON DAY 3, THE VID CAN BE ACCESSED OF HER ON THE GROUND WITH HER INJURIES AND THE HEAVE OF HER CHEST WITH THE RAPID RESPIRATIONS AS SHE DECIDES WHERE TO GO NEXT. I THINK YELLOW-BAND'S NAME IS WITHIN AMANDA'S HEART ALREADY AND SHE WILL LET IT COME FORTH! THIS IS WHO YELLOW-BAND WILL BE KNOWN AS AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO LOVE AND SUPPORT HER AS SHE CARRIES OUT HER IMPORTANT MISSION FOR THE "PEREGRINE FALCON"!!!

Nice to see you again, Barb! Glad you're back!

I hope you got to see the videos of our girl training with Amanda & having a bath. She really is very special!

The only thing I can think of relating to her past is the fact that she appeared to enjoy watching construction & sat on the crane watching, and the only name I have thought of relating to that was Builder Bob--make it Bobbie since she's a girl. That was very nice of Amanda to think of asking our opinions. I was thinking that this is the rehab that you volunteer for so you have probably seen Pefa a good bit--lucky you!

Mary Anne - thank you. I loved the pictures. And yeah what is up with the tiarras?! LOL Everyone seemed to be having a great time. I am amazed at how the critters are calm with that mob of people. Our girl is beautiful. I can tell she is cared for........

OBTAINED THIS INFO FROM TODAYS CRITTER CAM CHAT AND PAST AND WHO KNOWS WHERE: THE "DIVAS" WORE THE TIARAS. THE EP LAMP IS AUCTIONED EVERY YEAR, HOWEVER YOU OR WHOEVER YOU GIVE IT TO ARE ALLOWED TO KEEP IT FOR 1 YEAR ONLY. FREQUENTLY, IT FINDS IT'S WAY TO MR. CLARK'S ( PRESIDENT AND CO-FOUNDER OF WCV) OFFICE. ONE OF THE DIVAS CAME UP WITH THE IDEA TO POOL THE MONEY AND GIVE AMANDA THE "NAMING RIGHTS" 1 WEEK PRIOR TO THE AUCTION. THE POOLED MONEY CAME FROM THEM, CRITTER NATION FOLKS THAT IF SOMEONE @ WCV HAD ACCESS OF EMAIL ADDRESS AND SOME OF THOSE PRESENT NIGHT OF AUCTION DECIDING TO ADD TO THE POT. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YET WHO THE DIVAS ARE, BUT BELIEVE THEY PARTICIPATE IN CHAT AND WONDER IF THEY ARE MORE LOCAL SUPPORTERS OF WCV. SOMEONE QUIPPED: THE PIC OF THE LITTLE GIRL WEARING A TIARA MUST BE A "DIVA IN TRAINING"

I am going to see Amanda next weekend at the rehab training so I'll have to find out. They have a pretty tight group on the chat. I have been wandering down memory lane too with these cuties, I was so glad when the eggs hatched.

THanks for that info, swinwk!!

Barb, So glad you will be visiting with Amanda and hopefully our girl too!!

BIDDING VID AVAILABLE UNDER POST TO PAGE ON FB!

I was with Amanda Sunday. She really appreciated all the feedback and still hasn't decided. She wants it to be appropriate to her background. I'm with Bryan these two days trying to drag stories out of him :)
