Diane Sawyer’s ABC Nightly News exposed the hoax on Wed. night.
Procreate looks good!
I hope you can focus this winter on finishing your almanac. In any event, have fun with it, and at least share what you come up with in an e-book version.

…and yet, there is a small child out there somewhere who will watch this video of him-or-herself being clutched and airlifted and remember it vividly and tell the story with great pride (and no small thrill of terror) celebrating this life-changing event from early childhood. My bet is they will grow up to be a raptor specialist. Or ornithology taxidermist.

The eagle video is a hoax. The creators who have admitted it were a college group specializing in CGI. All the science I don’t understand but they are very good and I’m sure will get an A on the project. The pros dissected the video frame by frame and were able to detect inconsistent shadow directions. So it’s safe to let your kids outdoors unless it’s on a school playground.

Good point, COD, I’ll have to look w my usual skeptical eye. If something is too incredible to believe, one should not rush to do so.

Do you think that eagle video is real? The shadows don’t look right to me in the slow motion part of the video.
