Rly? I asked you to stop making me learn stuff...

Can't help it the check bounced.
I only knew that because my buddy has a place in Bethany Beach with a canal in the backyard, and he found two hatchlings in his driveway. They were about the size of a quarter and the seagulls are aggressive & ruthless around there. So he brought them in the house until they were a year or so old. He and I did a lot of web crawling trying to find out as much as possible about water temperature diet, sun vs shade, anything to help because even under ideal conditions the grow real slowly. Have to be judicious about asking for information from vets or government people because it's illegal to keep them. That would be a no good deed goes unpunished. ;)

How long did it take them to get a year old?

Didn't carry it off, just ate in right there?

I think he carried her there from closer to the house. Usually they take them further.

(that's a hawk's wing feather impression in the foreground snow.)

I assumed the picture was backed up from the gore to include the wing print. Apparently the wing came down on the snow then back up to either fold, flap, or shield so the imprint didn't get sullied.

Or it occurred on takeoff after dinner.

Good point.
