Sassyk...Great pictures of Ma soaring. Great job...keep them coming.

Thanks so much for your compliment I hope to get out to the nest again Friday, and hopefully will get some pics and videos of Solo flying.

YOU GO GIRL!!!! Just don't stop using that camera. Can't wait to see what you post next. I hope luck is with you and catch a few of gorgeous Solo.

Delphenium101, I can not claim the thought of the chef and pots. I do not remember where I heard or read it and I did not give a quote, the phraseology is mine. Thanks fo ryour comment.

OH Mel! Do post it Please! In the end I didn't get a chance to do it. I think that's a great way to let more people 'attend' FF.

Mel/fellow Texan...I would love to se the test..I am mighty curious!

Wonderful photos and reports everyone!! It is a treat to "meet" folk I'd not met before! Glad y'all had such a great day and our family co-operated for a photo shoot

Love to see your quiz Mel!

Thank you urbaneagle and Mel for such wonderful pix. Glad to have met you Larry and Dawn and Mel and Laurie. Mel, I am also very happy you and Laurie found the Muse Winery and their resident eagles nest. It is a beautiful setting there and would be a lovely private outdoor venue for lunch at Fledgefest 2011.. with indoor accommodation if the weather does not cooperate. Just a suggestion; it is only a hop, skip and a jump away from the Sidney nest ; the food is locally supplied, very reasonable and delicious; the wines are award winning. Also, I am with you, Larry/urbaneagle.....a weekend fest would be best for the majority and no doubt better attended for that reason. Ferry costs are higher on weekends for those travelling from the mainland, but perhaps it all works out in the wash if the luncheon costs less and there are no extra charges per person to rent a hall.

The quiz was not asked for but David permitted me to hand it out at the luncheon. It was merely a collection of some trivia about things Canadian with a dash of eagle sprinkled in. HWF is not responsible for any inaccuracies nor correct items, it is all on me. Those who tried it will see a few changes because the guy from Texas mixed up Prime Minister and Premier. The deleted question was about the Latin terminology of eagles and I decided, after talking with David while people were working on the test, that it was best deleted. Remember, it is only for fun.
