Oh yeah! Right. Like somebody's going to really spill it to someone with a monicker like Dorothy Parker. As a reviewer, she once described the play "The House Beautiful" as "The Play Lousy". Also, "You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her drink." The list is enormous.

A breeding pair of Baldies lives less than a mile straight north of me, and another about the same distance - mebbe a little more - down to the southwest. Both pairs have old, old, generations-old nests (technically "aeries" ) about the size of a Volkswagon. Great to see the adults hunting the fields, and in late summer, early fall the fledglings are really fun to watch; they kinda-sorta-don't-quite-yet have the grace-and-majesty thing all figured out. In February, early March, the adults do their mating sparring - just incredible to watch. All sortsa hawks and owls, and some osprey, too. The hawks and ospreys ain't real fond of the eagles; eagles sorta regard hawks and ospreys the way we regard fast-food delivery folks. The owls don't much give a hoot - they're mostly on the night shift.

We have few left. They are more in Alaska. I think they are beautiful birds.

Oh - and since ya bring up spilled guts, nothin' like a fresh, steamy gut pile to draw eagles - juveniles, mostly, but adults too, sometimes. When adult eagles show up, even the racoons back off. Fishers don't, though ... them critters is just plain mean, and not much cares to mess with 'em ... more than once, anyhow.

Thank you for that (I mean it with sincerety) and yes I have read that. I guess if we lived in the perfect world it might be true.

Look at it this way, if you really saw what you think you saw, the moderators also already saw it, so it's really not any kind of a secret, and you should feel no constraints on divulging your observation.

In other words .... spill the beans, please.

A juvenile Baldy (prolly its 2nd winter - they don't develop the white head and bright yellow beak 'till around 4 to 5 years of age) enjoying a red fox (gonna guess the fox was roadkill):

That's the whole point. We don't live in a perfect world. If we put it out there, it's available for others to read. That's how message board software works.

Is your beef that the label for the PM button says "private?" Perhaps you're right. It may give some folk a false sense of security if they aren't that well informed about the nature of the internet and software.

Yep, god help us if anyone should actually give accurate information about a serious accusation against a site whose creator and hench Jespah many of us have known for years, and whose probity and integrity we have witnessed constantly over those years, through thick and thin, irresolvable disagreement, and mutual huffiness.

Oh no....it is far more fun to make feckless accusations and attempt to instil paranoia amongst the masses.

But none of it suggests she could not keep a secret.

Arrrgh- I figure that at this point in my life, I HAVE no secrets that I would be concerned about people finding out. And no, I am not going to send my credit card number to anyone by PM!

In addition, I would never say anything about anybody, unless it was good. Now if it is REALLY good............................. Laughing
