Time to Party!

Can you believe it? Our little Pip is two weeks old already! It doesn't seem possible that fourteen whole days have passed so quickly! And my, how our little darlin' has grown!

This screen capture was taken at 5:30 this morning ... Just as Violet returned to the nest from a short flight!

Livestream Chat Room members were thrilled to have a hawk expert join us to talk about Violet, Bobby & Pip. John Blakeman, master falconer and raptor biologist from Ohio, was generous enough to spend time with those of us online at that late hour @11 PM EST. He was very honest and open in his responses to questions - particularly about Violet's leg and how that situation is currently being dealt with (NOT). His knowledge of hawks and obvious concern for them was quite evident in his comments. He said he would probable drop back by to chat with us some more today (he wasn't specific about a time).

Pip was restless off and on for pretty nearly the entire night. Like a lot of babies, I think Pip has his days/nights mixed up as his head went down and he was out-for-the-count at first light!

I was very fortunate to be able to capture another "Pip Poop Shoot" and I truly believe this is the absolute funniest one so far! If Pip were human, we would have to call him a double-jointed acrobat for this position! Just take a look and laugh!

Hope you all have a great day watching our little family!
