p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Falcon Nesting in a Tree ...


... I’ve received many remarkable nature photographs over the years but this photo of a nesting Falcon is perhaps the most remarkable Nature shot that I’ve ever seen. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Many people under 40yrs. may never have seen a Falcon ... and wouldn't recognize one unless it was pointed out to them ... but to see one in the wild ....

Nature is truly breath-taking ...

About a gazillion. It has only been posted all over the internet since July of last year.

And you couldn't even post in on April 1.

The word "exactly" appears in a request you seem to not have read or were in too much of a hurry to embarrass me iin public ...

... So your answer is a "gazillion" ... as a reply to "exactly how many how many would that be ... ?"

... World English Dictionary

gazillion (ɡəˈzɪljən)
1.
( often pl ) an extremely large but unspecified number, quantity, or amount: gazillions of people turned up

... So, if gazillions of people turned up ... as in the example above ... was that the whole worlds population that turned up ... ?

... Words have meaning ... choose them correctly ...

… as an aside … what is the numerical difference between a gazillion and gazillions …

Is one singular and one plural … ?
Not a good response for an educated person …

Now that is funny...both the picture and Imagemaster's obligatory PMS response.

PS - I was not one of the 'gazillions' of people who have seen this picture. I'd have felt left out, if it were not for the kind consideration of the OP.

I hadn't seen the shot before, but I guessed correctly what it might be purely from Jefferson being the poster

I owned the station wagon version of that Falcon. It needed a tree, too. Nice pic, J.

on the Falcon in the tree ... and if it was picking up some drive-thru dinner at KFC, it might look like this
Original, BBQ, Extra Crispy ... or Freshly Killed! ;-)
