Mom's Spirit Watching over her Eaglets (2:46)

Posted Image :clk:

Image of her statue at the Eagle Tribute Plaza in Norfolk Botanical Garden by Carol Senechal

This poem was also featured in the 2012 'Garden of Eagles' calendar - on the Farewell page.

OUR LADY OF THE GARDEN
April 26, 2011

The Great Spirit whispered to her,
Your time here is done my child
I will take you to your spirit home
You have been freed of the bonds to Mother Earth
And you will be lifted up on the wings of the Creator
You have honored this world with your many children
You shall live on in them as long as the rivers flow
Your spirit, your courage, your wisdom, your legacy
Has been given to them so they may soar on the winds
And awaken the spirits in the mortals below
Your destiny was written with your first breath of life
Your journey is now over; it is time to come home.


- Evelyn Pignataro


Lots of memories, videos and :clk: 's being re-posted over there today.

WCV Update on NX

April 26 update
NX was caught-up this morning and brought into the hospital so that the DGIF eagle biologist and staff could fit her with her GPS transmitter. First, NX’s feet were wrapped with vet wrap — to keep everyone safe during the process!

The fitting went well, and NX was returned to A1 with her Bald Eagle “roommate”.

WONDERFUL historical tribute today on Anacapa, just terrific Cheryl. :><:

FANTASTIC NEWS ABOUT GARY'S JOB Deb! What a relief too I would think.

Flickering lights Karen? Sounds spooky!

Love the bikini cookies!  :lol:

did anyone see the news about the fossil found in Kentucky, they dont know what it is!

And Ojai has a new raptor (no doubt Linda posted this in the other Chat forum) Love the " Ojai is a high-class facility." statement

Koala now on endangered list

The national icon is dwindling because of the combined pressures of development in its habitat, drought, climate change and from the disease chlamydia.

Hi everybody. Likely everyone has gone to bed now. Sorry I didn't get on here until now. Thank you so much for the comments about the Anacapa presentation. When I was working on it for the Meet the Adult Pairs thread Robert said it would be a good one for the fundraiser, too. That's actually how the MTAP thread got started. I featured many of the main nests during our 2007 NAC. Then I think it was Cumbrian who asked me to make them into a permanent thread.

I'll have a few more new pairs to work on once the NAC is over. :)^

OK, has anybody else seen this post by Peter over in the NAC thread?


"I'll be away on Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa for the next 2 weeks, so this will be the last update until I return. As of this morning we have raised $11,077. Thanks again for your hard work and to those that have contributed so far."

Karen, you are freaking me out with your spooky flickering lights.

Always a good day when the noisy problem ones don't show up.
