Carol P. – Falcon Watch Update – August 8, 2008
Just a quick update on the Falcon Watch. We’ve been seeing a juvie daily, spending time in the gorge. We’ve positively ID’d Susan B and Seneca over the past week. It’s been over a week since we’ve positively ID’d the others.
Today both Mariah and Kaver were on the Kodak Tower, Kaver on the northside and Mariah on the southside sitting on top of the nest box. I did not see any juvies (as of noon). There was alot rain today in Rochester, NY.

Do you know if the tracking will be put online so we can follow the flight patterns?

Carol P. thanks for your posting. It’s good to hear any news about the family. Per your suggestion a while back I’ve also been checking the Yahoo! Kfalconcam Discussion Group for sightings and photos.
I’m also curious about Quest’s wanderings.

Thank you VERY much for the posting, Carol! And thanks, Barbara, for giving the exact name of the Yahoo Group. I’ve been searching for it to no avail but have now found it, thanks to you 🙂

Thanks Carol for being there to give us updates on the juvies and M/K. I was just kidding about you being on the bridge too long-we really appreciate all that you do to keep us informed. I wonder about Quest too. They don’t seem to be giving us any information. I wonder what happened to the tracking that they were going to do. I hope that nothing has happened to her.

My wife and I did see a juvie tis evening perched on the very top of MidTown Tower while we watched the Bike Races downtown. I am a road hazzard driving downtown. I am always looking up!! I am also curious about Quest’s travels.
Thanks as always!

Thanks Carol for the update. It’s felt very lonely the last few days…very ’empty nest ‘. It’s been a great ride this year, five healthy thriving young falcons added to the world population. All last words are gratefully recieved. Next year seems so far away and so uncertain, but I’m sure everyone is looking forward to it .. Thank you, again.

I just watched a falcon that perched on a spruce limb near my front porch in the Highland Park neighborhood. The beautiful bird stayed put – only about ten feet from me – for several minutes as a nearby crow squawked like mad and some gray squirrels darted around in the trees and across the lawn. Then the falcon swooped down to harry a young squirrel – missed it, though – and then flew away when a passing bicyclist became a distraction. This is the first time I’ve seen a falcon at my place. Fantastic!
