Mark, I feel your sentiments. I enjoy watching the owl who has made the tree
out front of our house it's home this year. It sit on a branch just watching
me leave in the morning for work and again it is there waiting for my
return. Almost flawlessly, it is always there. it's just a barn owl, but all
the same, it is beautiful to see it lift off from it's perch and take flight
into the night.

Birds have always fascinated me.

It's almost Friday, so maybe this off-topic item will fly.  I talked to my
father tonight, and he told me the Operation Migration folks left his farm
at daybreak this morning, headed for Climax Georgia.  These are the guys who
fly weight shift trikes and play Mother Goose for Whooping Cranes every year
in an effort to reestablish their migratory patterns between Wisconsin and
Florida.  This is their second year dropping in there, and those who've seen
a picture of his grass strip will know why...it's surrounded with 125 acres
of lakes with plenty of waterfowl population. See
http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/flights/070308132ms.jpg on that.  They set
up their huge pen at the far end of the grass strip in the middle of the
picture, which is where I park my plane when I visit.  For more on this
year's flight, see http://www.operationmigration.org/Field_Journal.html .
"Pike County" is my father's place.

For some reason I've been really interested in hawks and eagles since
visiting the Hawk Conservancy in Andover England.  I see hawks everywhere
now.  I went to a meeting in Cambridge Maryland earlier this week, and as I
was sitting in the conference room a hawk flew circles outside for about
four hours.  I don't think I got much else out of the meeting...
