Oh man, as we hear him telling us all that he is flying in do we not miss that sound SO very much?!?! And his precious lil' "PEEP!" then turns and looks right at us.
~OMGoodness tugs at the heartstrings, does he not?

People have been wanting to see my last video capture of our beloved, adorable character Antali, so here it is!
~And now this clip is even more precious since we've not seen him on nest since.
~Here we see his underside is wet wonderful!
~He vocalizes, but not as much as he has before.
~Then we see him simply relax standing on one foot, looking all around, does a little bugwatchin', (luv that too!), eventually off he went.

It's not only odd to not see Homeboy on the nest, it's also odd to not hear him out there...

We sure got spoiled w/this wild child deciding that HE would be The Nest King and hence, became the official Homebirdy!
~Gosh I miss him so, and I know you do as well.

I miss them ALL!
~Somebirdy is still out there bec twice on Wed, we saw an osprey w/a fish land on Iris' tree via The Owl Pole Cam.

Let's hope someone goes out there soon and searches for this beloved family to check to see if they can ID who might still be in their area.

I have TONS of videos and pix of this season yet to post.
~As time permits, will def get them uploaded for all of us to enjoy, always.

This is the hard part the saying goodbye to them all.
~The nesting season is coming to its end for this year and what an amazing season it's been!
~ But yes, it breaks our hearts when they must take their leave of our gaze, our lives...

We love you ALL Iris, Finnegan, Sumeh and Antali.
~May your flights be safe, may your journey be blessed w/protection, may you catch all the fish you need and may you fare well out there.
~Perhaps we will still catch a glimpse of some of you before we see you no more this year....
~We miss you now, we will miss you when you've finally all departed but you will each live forever in our hearts.

God willing, we will see both Iris and Finnegan next April and we pray all four of you live on, in safety and health for many more years to come.
~Thank you so very much for existing bec you've added more joy than you can possibly ever know into our human lives. Godspeed.

P.S. In case you've not yet seen this video it's BEAUTIFUL! TYSM KPAXTV!!
