Just finished breakfast and headed for a chick pile in the camera corner. They are so so fluffy!

It's sunny and 6 this morning -with a high of 18

From a forgotten file comes a photo that can only be a "One Timer"... http://www.pbase.com/photosbydennis/image/143644595/original

The photo of Princess was taken April 23rd. when we needed to do some camera cleaning and final checks before everything went live. Just happened to be in the right place at the right time and looking through the right opening.

That's an amazing photo Dennis! That expression must be the last thing many a pigeon sees!

You, TPC & company are very brave to go back for banding.

So cute a while ago with Princess trying to "wiggle" herself to cover those big babies.  haha  Not going to happen.

Recently I was at an event and got to be up close with an "educational" peregrine.   This bird was not as large as I was expecting.   I cannot figure out how they can catch a pigeon and fly with it.   The peregrine did not look much bigger than a pigeon!!

I find it funny how the parents just kinda perch over top the chicks now!  Definitely no covering them any more!!

More for comfort than to keep them warm or dry.

Dennis, that is an amazing photo!  It looks like she's looking right at you, as if to say "What are you doing there????"

That's exactly what she was saying though not nearly as politely  ;) as I recall  ;D
