Awww! Carole!, what a precious photo! <3 So glad Maya is recovering from her health scare. :><:

Ozzie, hope your eyes are soon back to normal. :X: Nice to be freed from glasses tho. :)^

Michele, sorry to hear about your Doggie, Jedi. A "lawn mower accident"? :8O: I hope he's on the way to full recovery. :X: When I was a kid my dad had one of those. His wedding ring is what stopped the blades. My Plastic Surgeon Uncle did the reconstruction with skin grafts from other places. This was in the late 50s, and afterward he had hair growing where his fingerprints should have been.  :wacko:

I love all things Astronomical too. Another thing we have in common. :)^ Heres a great one I had in Photobucket: the Eagle Nebula.  :<<o>>:

Dear Bette, here is a wall of blue flowers to wish you a wonderful weekend, and to help cover the days I'll be off line while we move to our new house. It takes weeks here in the UK to get reconnected, but I'll be checking in from the library when I can, and holding you in my thoughts and sending love. :Hugs:

Ian and three friends went fishing on Lake Ontario really early in the morning last Saturday. They were catching salmon! I didn't know that there were salmon in Lake Ontario. This isn't the greatest photo since it's a bit blurry but I wanted to share it anyway. I liked the way Toronto's skyline is in the background, with the CN Tower over on the right. It has taken me this long to get the photo from him. They put all the fish back in the lake. I think that's called catch and release but I don't know anything about fishing. It takes 20 minutes after one is hooked to pull it in to the boat.

This is the female puppy (Wynn's littermate) who was returned to the breeder for 'eating her poo'. She's so sweet. That woman should be ashamed of herself. All I did was type in 'how to stop a dog from eating poo' and there were several pages of information on Google. This picture was taken about three months ago when we met Wynn for the first time. Jenny brought them both back from California at the same time. Jenny is holding her.

Here's Wynn on the same day three months ago - just so you can see the resemblance.

Whooper Update: July 30, 2011 Reporter: Caleb Fairfax
Subject: TRAINING UPDATE Location: White River Marsh, WI

The past week was training as usual. The chicks are really picking up following and flying behind the ultralight. During our most recent day of training, July 26th, we had a brief scare with 6-11. Toward the end of training it looked as if 6-11 had managed to hurt its leg in the fencing that separates the mowed grass training strip from the tall marsh grass. He refused to put any weight on the leg at all and stood perfectly still with his right leg held up for several minutes. There was a lot of muffled swearing between the pilot and myself, probably in some attempt to hide our distress at the situation.

All turned out well as within a few minutes 6-11 was walking around and playing in the wet pen as if nothing had happened. Probably the crane equivalent of hitting a funny bone but scary for us all the same.

Training was on hold Wednesday and Thursday due to heavy rain and fog. Although we haven't been able to train as we would like, the rain is a welcome ally in our ongoing struggle to maintain water in the wet pen.

Aside from the usual updates from us here at the White River Marsh, I have been compiling video since I began with OM in late May. What I have put together, I hope, will allow our dedicated and casual followers a chance to see what life is like from inside our helmets and get an up close and personal look at the cranes. I also hope this video selection would provide the chance to see their beautiful development from clumsy little tufts of down feathers to the flying adolescent cranes they have become.

We begin with a video showing a typical feeding session while the chick is still in the incubator. This is actually footage of #16-11; though not one of our birds, it provides a good chance to see a whooper in the very beginning of its life. This little guy/gal is no more than 36 hours old when the video was taken. Still in an incubator and still receiving round the clock care to ensure he/she has the best chance at survival. In this video I sit behind the incubator with only my puppet inside attempting to get little 1-116 to take its first bites of food and first sips of water. As you can see at the end of the clip, the little whooper has next to no coordination. Too cute! Anyways, all our birds here in OM started out exactly like this little ball of fluff in an incubator receiving special attention so they can grow strong and one day migrate south like their ancestors.

Thanks Cheryl! :Hugs: We hope so too! Those pups are so cute. :wub: How could anyone not love that little one and not want to work out what the problem was and "Dog Whisper" it? :blink:

PS Sunny, Re: your comment on "it not working"... I think if you remove the color number from your code as in your last post shows and instead do: [/COLOR] without the number in the closing code, but only in the beginning, it might work. :ok: :Hugs: This program won't even let me type in the exact example without over-riding it. :hair:
