I looked at the site a few minutes ago. The mom is soaked, her head under her wing, and the nest is loaded with snow. Poor things. Haven't seen the babies yet.

I enjoyed them until they starting eating my babies!

One month, they ate 25 of them.

 

Yikes! Well this one is up in Ithaca, so I don't think we have anything to worry about in particular. I hope!

You can hear them chirping occasionally. I have it running in the background.

You need to come to this one.

EVERYONE needs to come to this one. wink.png

I have the paperwork, but can't figure out how to post it from my e-mail.

If anyone wants it, give me your e-mail address.

 

Yes, yes, let's all go! I have had this on my calendar for months now, thanks to Christine. Let's all go and wear one of Donna's t-shirts so we can meet up.

I'll definitely get to me of them. We had tossed around the idea of going to this past one in CT but the drive was long and the weather was crappy. Plus, I have been feeling horrible for at least a week now.

It would be fun for all of us to get together. I'm glad so many friendships grew out of this. That was one of the reasons I thought this part of the state needed its own thread.

Al, yesss.gif it would be great to finally meet you, and everyone else, too!

 

Karen, sounds great. I sent a PM, and it says I have 1 new message, but I am getting confused, it looks like the old one.

I am at work, and that isn't helping matters.  Gimme a minute to smack my computer.....
