I am so pleased that I did get to chat with you twice before the cams and chat closed (jogulrich). My thoughts and prayers are still with you, Allen, PPO and Pappa. I look forward to having the privledge of watching PPO raise owlets in the future. Thanks again for your care and consideration for PPO and Pappa and sharing the experiences with all of us. julrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14032742049569825119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286055343012911904.post-68420173411554958642012-10-14T19:10:17.676-07:002012-10-14T19:10:17.676-07:00Dearest Tracy and Allan,

Your beautiful writing's have kept all of us (my dear friends)in touch. I know that this has not been easy as of late.<br />I firmly believe our feathered ones pick up on our emotions. I only wish they could transmit through the computer because I love them so.<br />With love, sadness and best of health to all,<br />Sarah/mrshb<br />mrshbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559893913786114866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286055343012911904.post-41163149818635956922012-10-14T06:34:14.450-07:002012-10-14T06:34:14.450-07:00First, thank you Tracy and Allan for all that you ...First, thank you Tracy and Allan for all that you have done to help PPO and Papa safely raise their families on your balcony and for providing the world a window to watch all the action. What a disappointment this season must be to you all. Having watched (mostly lurking) since nearly the beginning of PPO's saga, I've laughed, cried, and held my breath with you all watching the hatching, playing, often touching moments in the owlets' lives. I will miss watching another clutch this season, but believe that all things happen for a good reason, whether we understand that reason or not. Perhaps Papa and PPO need a break from rearing a family, some more time to recover from all the energy expended over the last few years. Hopefully, they will be back next season, stronger than ever and ready to bring us more wonderful moments to share with each other. Until then, you are all in my thoughts. (ElfOwl49, ShortEaredOwl)P.

The same situation was in 2011 in the osprey nest at Loch of the Lowes, Scotland. This year, The Lady of the Loch, successfully raised a beautiful and healthy son - Blue 44. I hope that next year, PPO and Pappa, will once again enjoy their children. It makes no sense to argue with nature. Probably, the break in the brood is needed. I am glad that PPO and Pappa are healthy and we could see them. Big thanks and hugs to you and Allan, for all that you do for these birds. PPO fans in Poland love you. We were very happy to meet you again. Take care.

And as long as the cam remains on and focused on her, all our thoughts remain on the eggs that are not viable. I think it is adding extra pressure where there doesn't need to be any from us humans anyway.

Festival of Owls, Karla asked the experts if she should remove Rusty and Iris' eggs and it was decided that yes it should be done. It proved to be the right decision. However, we are not making any decision for a while in the hope that she will fly off the nest soon, and not return to sit on the eggs for a few hours. If she does that, I think she will be saying that she has also given up. This has not happened before in 5 yrs so we are all learning here too<br />Pot Plant Owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16678639843678206460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286055343012911904.post-32764385584179624932012-10-13T22:43:52.653-07:002012-10-13T22:43:52.653-07:00I believe that critters of all kind grieve just as...I believe that critters of all kind grieve just as we do. So they probably go through stages of grief, as we do. It's possible that she's in denial stage. Anyway, I wish her the best and am so sorry about the eggs.

I want to thank you for all ...Dear Tracy and Allan,<br />I want to thank you for all you have done and will do for PPO and Pappa. I also want to thank you for sharing PPO and Pappa with us all. It is a wonderful opportunity to learn and love a part of nature that most of us would never get to experience. The hard part of all of this is that sometimes we must also experience the part of life that we don't want to, mainly that of loss and grief. I too don't want this to be true, but if it is, we must face it and then carry on. As I say this, the tears stream down my face. It is with a heavy heart that I try to face the probability that PPO's eggs will not hatch. I still am thankful for getting to see PPO and Pappa. I still have hope that I will get to watch her and Pappa raise a clutch of owlets in the future. Tracy this was my first season with you all and I have not gotten to chat with you yet, but I have met some wonderful people from all over the world and again, for that I thank you all. I wish you all peace and love as you move through these difficult days and hope for happy times in the future.

When else would we get such an up close and personal view into the Owl world, also, to have the opportunity to chat with the MOST incredible people from literally all over the world! I believe the eggs not hatching may be a blessing in disguise. Nature has it's own plan and reason for the way things unfold. Having "met" Tracy, Allen, PPO, Pappa and all I have chatted with have truly enriched my life and I am eternally grateful for any length of time I am able to do so! Please have an absolutely amazing weekend! :) SueAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08836488671934739775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286055343012911904.post-55639001897318193962012-10-13T14:56:35.608-07:002012-10-13T14:56:35.608-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08836488671934739775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286055343012911904.post-29809257281246843092012-10-13T14:45:04.683-07:002012-10-13T14:45:04.683-07:00Well said, Sue S.
