[@TinkerTailor4303]

Wow ... I had lost track of time and didn't realize it had been five years! So happy for Iris and Finnegan -- I'm praying for a healthy, safe youngster.

My mom and I have been watching intently this season, and are so happy for the new first chick. After learning about Iris’ challenges these past few years, seeing the hatchling brought tears of joy to our eyes. Thanks so much for streaming and all the info ❤️

Congratulations to Iris and Finnegan!! I was thrilled to see Iris feeding their hatchling. All the best to them. Thank you Cornell for sharing and for the live streaming.

Exciting times, thank goodness Iris has a new mate. The world is watching this special Osprey Iris. If Finnegan carries on supporting Iris then he will also be every ones favourite...

@jjfaris Hello JJ, I used to see you on the African videos. Do you know what happened to Arlene Beech? Just all of a sudden no more videos from her and all the incredible ones I saved were deleted. Was curious and worried about her. If you have any info, would appreciate if you could reply. Thanks, Take care, Deb 💙

@@debdew7125 🖐️ Deb. I too miss Arlene Beech. Yes her channel was removed but now it is back up and while it was down, someone re-organized all of her videos playlist dating back to 2013 I believe. I have searched the Internet, including the UK lookingfor her but to no avail. I am trying to remain hopeful, but the channel has been quiet since the 3rd wk of April. I did not realize how much I watched and looked forward to her channel until it all stopped. Very nice to hear from you..

@@jjfaris JJ, Thanks for your reply. I hope and pray she's ok. I always look forward to her videos and was surprised when they just stopped. I'm behind in watching videos right now, but I do follow Quiet Eagle and Lady Hawk. Maybe I'll see you there. Thanks again, Take care, Deb 💙

@@debdew7125 I too, have followed Ladyhawk for quite a few years, but I do not post comments. No particular reason.

@@jjfaris Quiet Eagle does Africa videos. Sometimes not as good as Arlene, but at least I can still follow some of Africa.

So happy for Iris!

It's interesting, even ironic, that a bird-of-prey's face is often so intimidating, yet they are so gentle and caring with their chicks. It's reminiscent of the old expression, never judge a book by its cover! 🦅

this is exciting news! hoping all continues to go well 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@СнеговикНерастаявший]

У Ирис счастливое лицо)) так радостно за неё. Пусть малыш растёт здоровым, а папа приносит ему много вкусных рыб !

Such an attentive mother.

How exciting! Hoping for the best ❤❤

[@barnowlwatcher]

I’m so happy for iris. Nothing was ever the same after Stanley disappeared. And Louis was not a faithful mate! Let’s hope Finnegan is the real deal and we have a successful season. Fingers and talons crossed. ❤
