My sister has been bugging me to come to this blog and now I wish I'd done as she told me to a year ago!! (I guess big sisters always know best. ha!) And "Butchie" is the perfect name for immature birds (especially the big birds of prey) as they seem to have that "butch" haircut and puffed up "butchie" attitude.. Love them. Thanks Robin for everything on this blog. You make EVERYTHING interesting!!

I'...The best soap opra I've ever witnessed! I'm right with you Robin and Sharon Fin, as I had a nest of Goshawks in my back woods this spring/summer. I have not seen the nest but was told about it by a friend who went into my woods to check on selective cutting. (He was almost attacked and since I'm on crutches I didn't want to take any chances... I know Goshawks will "attack" anyone who comes near their nest; animal or human. They ae fierce!) But, I have heard them for a month and know they babies calls and the parents calls. And this past month since they have "fledged"... it didn'[t mean they actually fledged. Come to find out, they stick around until September while the parents teach them flying maneuvers and how to hunt prey. (I've seen them learning to "mantle" over prey their parents caught for them... very cute!) I call them in once in a while and they come right up to my house and talk to me from 30-60 feet up the pines (I'm pretty deep in the woods)I am not a good photographer but have gotten a few pic of them. Almost fell over backwards looking up into a tree! ha! Wish Robin could come and get some good flying pics of them as I've been told they were Goshawks but then some birders say they are shaped like Goshawks and the same size, but not the same coloring. (I'm only about 1/2 hour away from you!!! hint, hint! ha, ha!)<br /><br />Keep up the good work.
