Don and I were in Syracuse Saturday and looked for the Syracuse Peregrines.  We found Fancy right away on top of a building downtown, but she flew off when we blinked!  We drove around and found her again on a building at the corner of Washington and Warren.  She kept looking around and preening, and then Groucho flew into sight.  He was stirring up the local pigeons.  He flew behind the buildings and then soared so high we lost sight of him.  We watched Fancy for a while, hoping Groucho would return, but we didn't see him.

On our way out of town on Route 690 a peregrine flew over the car!  When I looked backed I saw what I think was Groucho heading for the buildings in the downtown area, maybe to rejoin Fancy.

Hi Joyce and Carol...between work and all the snow we've had this winter, we have not been to Rochester!  A couple of weeks ago we drove around for about 4 1/2 hours in white-out conditions just trying to get to Montezuma to check the mudlock eagles.  We never made it to Montezuma and were thankful we were not one of the many cars we saw upside down off the road!

BTW, the mudlock eagles are sitting on eggs!!!!  YEAH!

Hi MAK!!!  Thanks, and I will tell Don you said hello!  I've followed your escapades on this list, but didn't have a chance to post back. 

It has been a LONG winter on the hill here in Ithaca!  We look forward to spring and lots of falcon activity!
