He Lives! He's Back! What a Way to Ring in the New Year!

So that's what he's been trying to tell you @DianneN he was excited that his mate was "pregnant" and looking forward to becoming a father yet again. Thank you so much, may this new year be one of healing so that your hubby will be back to his usual self ... within logical limits of course ... and with lots of happiness and prosperity.

@rebelann

That may be the case. He certainly has populated his little kingdom down here. Lol! I'm so happy he is ok. I wish you the best that 2017 can bring!

@cacay1 You too Erly, and of course the same to you @DianneN.

Yes, indeed! What joy I feel that he's alive and well. Happy New Year to you and your family!

Something good to start of the year. I'm soooo relieved.

@DianneN I was just telling my Husband about the Osprey because we both like them and Hawks and Eagles and Owls too. Keep us posted about how Orville gets on this year. Hope its a good one for him too.

@lovinangelsinstead21 That is so sweet! I love those birds, too, but Orville is my special boy. He flew by my window earlier today to show off a fish he caught. I always tell him what a good boy he is and clap my hands. Lol!

I just saw him two minutes ago, too. Seeing him healed and back certainly made my new year brighter and happier. Thanks so much! Happy New Year to you, also!

@DianneN Mr. Orville is a survivor .

Thank you! He was gone for days. I was so relieved and surprised when he returned.

@much2say Thank goodness for that!

@DianneN So red tailed hawks are aka chicken hawks so not surprising they are after squirrels —and cats! You probably aren't old enough to remember Foghorn Leghorn (of Boy-I-say-Boy fame) and his quest to teach a young chicken hawk how to be a chicken.

@blitzfrick I'm not familiar with that. I will try to find it. Usually the hawks don't bother with large cats, but if they are hungry, they kill them with a peck to the head, and then rip off chunks to eat in a tree. I would die on the spot if they did that to our cat. I always carry a big stick with me when we are out in the yard.

Lol! Orville is huge for a sea hawk or raptor. We don't mention Seattle Seahawks in our house. Ha ha! They mate for life. I have even met Mrs. Orville several times and watch him teach his son's to fish. So amazing! We have a few red tailed hawks at our other house. One swooped down after circling the cat. Scared the heck out of me. They are big birds, too. I watched a young hawk try to catch a squirrel, but he kept missing, thank goodness!

@HAPPSINGH You too! Happy New Years!

Thank you!

@DianneN Oh it was ! The electricity was back 31st morning so we were able to make the salads . And i know you too had a blast on New Year's eve .

Thank you! Me too!!!!!!! Hope your new year will be wonderful!

Thank you so much. We are ecstatic over this!!!!

Aww, thank you, and thanks for the Florida Wildlife info. His return made me so happy!

We are thrilled! Thank you!

i want to ask the same question.

Funny guy! It is one of my appetizers, but perhaps they'd allow a pet shrimp here. Will have to check the condo association notes.

Same to you, Gary! I am ecstatic!!!!!!
