I live just outside of Indianapolis, IN. I am a stay-at-home Mom to Kade, born 5/26/04 and am expecting #2 12/07/07. My husband and I have been married for 10 years (10/26/96). I am a 1993 graduate of Purdue University, with a degree in Wildlife Science. I enjoy gardening, hiking, biking, wakeboarding, doing simple crafts, garage sale-ing, teaching others about the beauty and wonder of nature, and volunteering at a local Nature Center. I love recycling items into "new" treasures. I love saving money and I love trying to make money by selling various items on ebay!

HI, this is an American Kestrel - they are small falcons. I'm not an expert, but this looks to be an adult. Did he fly away? If he's injured and still hanging around, I could try to get you in touch with a wildlife rehabilitator in your area - I used to volunteer as one myself. ... View related article.
I have had a bromeliad plant for about 10 years and have found that when a "baby" plant pops up, the bigger "mother" plant often fades and gradually dies. I remove the mother plant when it becomes pretty brown. If I remember correctly, I gently broke them apart with my hands. The roots are pretty shallow, so it's not real tough. Good Luck! ...
