I thought she was doing the “scrape” and wondered if there might be more eggs this year (^+^).

The Eagle Watchers book and Peter’s comment that “I’ll have to hunt down a copy now”. Click on the name of the book in the blog above & you can buy it on Amazon. It’s also at Carnegie Library here –> http://tinyurl.com/28v8sal

I must get back over to the Aviary, have not been there for awhile. Want to get DR. Katzner’s book. You need to write a book also Kate. With all these bits and pieces you give us it would be exciting to have you sign books for us. Of course once they make the day 48 hrs. I guess you would be able to!!!!!!!!!!!!

How are Yellow Girl and White Girl doing? I see a lot of Hot Spots with Dori and Louie in/around the nest – shouldn’t they be giving their kids flying lessons, etc? Do you know why Dori keeps laying in the nest and rubbing around? Thanks for all your updates and information regarding these wonderful birds – I am so glad that someone told me about this site.

He must have such amazing stories to tell – well, he does. He told us a few during the chats!!

I’ve sat and watched the pair at the aviary for hours. Whenever I’m there I’m not able to pass by their exhibit without stopping. What a treat to see them in the wild. I didn’t know they were mentioned in this book so maybe I’ll have to hunt down a copy now.

And on a side note…at first reading, once I got to the bit about it being an upland buzzard, but before reading on I was thinking this was going to be about one of these guys flying around western PA! Talk about out of this world!
