As I get my blog-feet under me, one of the things I plan to do is to resume publishing Birds in the News on Mondays, at noon, EST. Until that happy moment, perhaps you will enjoy seeing a peregrine falcon family in downtown Brisbane, Australia?
This well-designed site, Frodocam, has thousands of still pictures, galleries of video for you to watch using either Quicktime or Media Player, and lots of information about peregrine falcons so you can learn more about these, the fastest animal on earth.
Whooo Hoooo - BITN is back!! Can't wait...you Always have such good birdie news and interesting articles about them. Maybe you could put up a piece about your birds and the "pecking" order you have established and what has changed while on "vacation". :o)
Thanks for all the pictures. I don't think I've ever changed my desktop image this often. I really love this one, having a bit of a crush on the raptors.
It will be great to have you back in the air with BITN! I would look forward to each week's new installment over the period I have been reading your blog, and now I can enjoy that feeling of anticipation again.
