Update on Osprey Project I work for.. One of our GPS chicks 'Blue YD' aged 2 has made his first migration from W Africa and is currently in Scotland not far from us.. Our first surviving tagged chick! (we lost 2) . our elderly Osprey 'Lady' has laid 3 eggs near our office alas one was taken by a crow when the male was distracted. We are not too hopeful about the remaining eggs hatching as the Parents have shown unusual behaviour this year in leaving the eggs unincubated for long periods..due to her advanced age it is possible that her fertility is much reduced. Due to egg thieves we keep a 24 hour watch over the nest by one staff and one volunteer. We also have Night vision cameras. This is my view from the hide on my dawn watch the other week over the Loch (lake) and the male coming in to the nest. Here is live feed from the Nest Cam Loch of the Lowes webcam

Grand Teton national park is south of Yellowstone and well worth seeing along with the town of Jackson Hole, Wy. Cody, Wyoming has great museums (Buffalo Bill Center, Firearms Museum, art museums, etc.), restaurants, and a real traditional atmosphere.That's great mate.
I was thinking about a trip to the Wild West sometime in the upcoming years. In particular Wyoming. Anything that you can recommend in particular in that area aside from Yellowstone?
It's just amazing that such a big state is so sparsely populated and that it is all mostly nature. I mean in the case of Wyoming.

Thanks! I will watch that when I get a chance. I forgot to post in this thread the picture of my new bird that you asked me about. Her she is again...Beautiful mate. This is the authentic Wild West.
I can highly recommend this documentary, my friend. It's KSA. Filmed in 1990.

Here is an article about a 16 year old Saudi Arabian who caught an rare falcon in mountainous and wild areas of Hijaz and then sold it for $30.000 to a rich businessman. Not bad.

Great pics! Love the two pics of the happy boy with his falcon. Interesting that neither of them are using a traditional Arab mangla, wrist glove, instead of the European style gloves they have.
