The Return of Archer to Rochester, NY – 3/21/10
From Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
Most of you have probably seen the wonderful news that Archer returned to Rochester this morning. Many of the Watchers gathered to see Archer and Beauty renew their bonds with each other at the Times Square nest box. It was a wonderful day.
Below is a link to some pictures I took during my Watch. Enjoy!

Today they’ve been flying in and out, making quite a racket. Right now they’re sitting on Mercury, one on the head the other at the base.
When they fly to the next box they always seem to zoom right by my windows. Once in a while it looks as if they’re headed straight at me, then veer up at the last second, giving me a great show. Other times I see them carrying in a meal. Hard to believe they can fly while holding a pigeon.

I got a good chuckle this morning. Picasa tries to translate the comments made about the pictures into German, which my computer operates in.
I am not expecting any sightings of Mariah in Rochester. Her reign is over, she had a long one, but peregrine life moves on. She remains forever in my affections.

I say never say never about Mariah. We’ve heard so many recent reports of older, vanquished Peregrines showing up at other locations. Hey! You never know! 😉
