Young falcons in the 19th ward
«

Over the past week or more we have been observing what we believed to be falcons flying around our neighborhood in the 19th ward.
The other day I observed 7 in a dead tree across the road and there has been a ton of vocalizations.
Just now I was able to scope one of them and it is DEFINATELY a young peregin. Actually two of them, one with food!
I will provide an address to anyone who is interested, but would prefer it not to be published.
Please contact me at
marti.macadam@gmail.com
if you are interested in this wonderful family!

It's just a few miles southwest of downtown Rochester.

It really does! Great memories of 2003, 2004 and 2005!
Very exciting if this new peregrine family has five offspring!

Had a VERY good look. These are not peregrins, but rather merlins. There were 4 young doing the talon tag thing and one sat on a high dead branch for quite a while. The other day there were 7 which I believed included both adults.
This makes alot more sense, as there are no tall buildings nearby, but lots of tall pine trees, which merlins like.
I have also seen merlins before in the area. See post from me in 2009.
Still very cool and still falcons, just smaller.

We have seen merlins a few years ago as well. How exciting! Nothing like watching juvies learning their skills. Can't wait to check it out.

Doesn't matter if they are Merlins, Kestrels, or Peregrines, they're all FALCONS!

Merlins were very common when I lived in the 19th Ward (which runs along the west bank of the river from downtown to Genesee Valley Park, and extends quite far west from the river). There is a whole colony in GVP---made quite a racket when I was hiking there earlier this spring---and there used to be another colony in Mt. Hope Cemetery. when their paths crossed, the territorial displays were impressive!
