WILMINGTON ~ JUNE 2011 PART I

Here are some pictures of "the girls" we lost. :sad:

These are of Green Girl the day before she took her first flight, two days before she went to Tri-State and four days before she got shipped to the hack site.

She wanted to fly so badly!!!

These are of No Band. This is the afternoon before she ended up at Chelsea's Bar on Market Street. She reminds me of how I feel some days after work so I can understand why she ended up at the bar!

These are from earlier that afternoon. Sure looks like she was having fun to me!

It makes me very angry looking at these pictures and at the same time very sad. I sure hope "the girls" are safe.

OMG, THESE PICS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES (WELL, A LITTLE MORE THAN THAT, BUT WE WON'T TELL ANYONE). THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING THEM WITH ME, WHAT BEAUTIFUL GIRLS THEY ARE!

On a happier note, here are a couple picture of "the boys" chasing mom away!

You just have to smile when you see them coming in for a landing like this! :)

Oh Kim, those pictures of the girls made me more than a little misty. I'm sure it was tough for you to put them on here and label them for us. I pray they will be safe in their new home. And the ones of the boys with Red Girl are fantastic. Thanks for sharing all of these.

Thank you for the pictures of the girls. They are really beautiful and the shots are fantastic. I still can't believe that they were taken like they were. They were cheated, in my opinion, out of the life they should have had. Well I just can't think about it. I'm happy that the boys are able to do what little juvies do.

Thanks, Kim, especially for posting the ones of the girls as I can imagine how hard it was for you. All are gorgeous. Prayers are powerful, in my opinion, and we can all pray for the success of our girls . . . and our boys.

Kim, how beautiful they are. I am in tears again and so sad. Thanks So much for posting them, for all of us to have and to hold. Thanks for all the sentiments spoken here also, by everyone. I just can't put my mind around what happened. We were robbed!!! I'll go Wed. night, but keep my mouth shut and ears open.

Just beautiful pics, Kim!!!! They looked like they were having a blast...Someone mentioned "cheated"...not only were the girls cheated from learning from their parents and playing with their brothers, but all of us were cheated in getting to watch them flourish. I just pray that they and the others are safe and that they thrive in their new home..

WELL, KIM IS A TROOPER AND IS BACK DOWN THERE CHECKING ON THE BOYS :-)

BOY WERE CHASING EACH OTHER A COUPLE OF TIMES. RG LANDED ON THE NESTBOX AND BOYS WERE SCREAMING. THEY CHASED EACH OTHER AGAIN. THE BOYS WERE ON THE NEMOURS BUT NOW AT LEAST ONE ON BRANDYWINE, PROBABLY BOTH ARE THERE. YES, BOTH ON ROOF OF BW BLDG. RG TOOK OFF AFTER SOMETHING. HASN'T RETURNED, KIM HOPES SHE'S SOMEWHERE DEFEATHERING BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T COME BACK YET. SHE HASN'T SEEN CJ YET AND CAN'T REMEMBER IF SHE SAW HIM YESTERDAY EITHER.

EDIT, SHE'S PRETTY SURE SHE JUST SAW CJ AND ONE OF THE BOYS FLEW OVER TO WHERE CJ WAS.

Thanks to Kim & Reenie from me, too! This is the fun part of fledging for the kids, playing with each other & their parents!

Thanks for posting for Kim Reenie. Kim you ARE a trooper and if anyone needs to know what goes on, you ARE the one in the know. Love to hear about the interaction between them.

Thanks to Kim for posting those wonderful pictures of No Band and Green Girl and those cute pictures of the boys coming in for landings. And a big thanks for continuing to watch over the boys and relay your reports to Reenie for posting on the forum.

There's such a wonderful team of local folks, Harrisburg visitors, and falcon cam viewers supporting the Wilmington falcons!
