Athena, raring to go!
BB feeding Athena after her ordeal! A very welcome sight! As seen on the UB Falconcam!
And right now on the cam! Athena is losing most of her white fluffy feathers and looking bigger than mom, BB. Athena to far left.
Wow...Athena really is a big girl! And who can blame her for being miffed...a ride in a litter jug, and a sock over her head! Best wishes to her and I hope the transmitter provides lots of data.
