Falcon Cam 2012

[The Hen]

Lo, I thought you understood that I was only posting about your concerns regarding the editting button only lasting for a week that you don't seem able to accept.

I am sorry you didn't understand that. That was the only thing I was commenting on.

However, if you don't like it here anymore, feel free to let go and post where you have the freedom you desire.

Fly little Lo, Fly, fly, fly.

[loCAtek]

I've said I accepted them; third of fourth time in fact, however;



ATCHOOOoooooooo<sniff>

[The Hen]

Lo, if you have any issues about Plan B and the way it is administered, please start a thread to discuss it. Perhaps if you start it, you might constructively join in.

I am so pleased that you have no issues with the editing restrictions that are now in place.

[loCAtek]

ThX, this thread is about Falcons BTW, feel free to join in at any time, you're welcome to

[The Hen]

So will you be starting a thread about the Plan B rules in a different forum? You did raise it in THIS thread about birds.

I will happily join in that one.

[loCAtek]

Why, I've asked the question many times. Please reply, any time, any forum.

[The Hen]

But this is a bird thread Lo.



Start an appropriate thread and then all will be aware of it. Many people may not open bird threads to discuss Plan B rules.

I hope you understand that.

[loCAtek]

I hope you understand: you're evading answering the question, in whatever thread it's presented in-

I do.

[loCAtek]

If you had understood this was a bird thread, you'd only be discussing birds, but you have not. I see that.

[BoSoxGal]

If loCA started a forum of her own, she'd no longer have an excuse to come here and . . .



wait for it . . .





wait for it . . .






Y'all know it's the truth . . .

[loCAtek]

ROTFLMAO

So, simple: what are the board rules?

This thread, the other thread- Why does it matter?

Why change the goal posts, and just not answer the question, 'eh?

What are the board rules?

[Joe Guy]

That's enough!

I've decided that alhough I believe the ignore feature is completely unnecessary, that in order for me to be fair & equal, I'm going to put everyone here on ignore and then respond to everyone except LoCAtek.

In dire circumstances, it is sometimes necessary to use unnecessary means to achieve that which is very likely unnecessary.

And now, all the way from Portugal, bienvenido por favor;

Zuzu e Margarida, may have had thier eyasess later, but they have the larger family of SIX!

Here's a similar set up in the UK

The Newton building at Nottingham Trent University has been the home for the last ten years to a breeding pair of peregrine falcons, who nest on a ledge outside near the top. The nest site has been successfully used to raise 16 chicks over the past five years. Watch live footage with us over the next few months as they lay eggs and rear their chicks.

Woo-Hoo!

A Fledgling's Cry, by Alison Jeppson Hyde
"Riffing on the line in the Henry Beston poem that Evet sent, ''They are other nations.' "

I fledge allegiance
to the clouds
in my excited state of euphoria
and from the nestbox
which in them stands
all Nature
under God
the whole world visible
now liberty!
and free-flight
for all time.
