What wonderful news. The pictures of Linn are beautiful. I’m so glad Rhea Mae is alive and well. I’m hoping the same for Wind.

Hi Pirkko! Are you using a Kodak camera? I have good success with my DX6490 that I got after seeing the pictures Jim posted of the Juvies in 2004! (Of course, Jim has since switched cameras and his pictures are as spectacular as ever, but where there is a will, there is a way and practice makes perfect:-) Maybe we shall see some of your cats on a cat forum I ran across recently – I think its URL was posted at the Harrisburg Falcon Forum.)
I just hope Linn stays away from the airport.

Thanks for the photos, Linn sure had made it quite a ways. She’s making a new territiry hers. Glad to see all is good.

Tom and Rod, those are fabulous pictures of Linn! I can really appreciate your talent, because I’m myself still trying to master the art and technique (never mind talent) of taking presentable pictures of my sleeping cats. Could it be that I am using the wrong camera?

I predict Linn the Duck Hawk will soon make proud the person after whom she was named by snatching up one of those ducks for dinner. The very thought of it makes me feel uneasy, because I don’t want any duck casualties, but it’s going to happen …

Any news of Ananta? I hope she is doing well, too.

Hi, Alison!

So, Linn must be able to catch her own food now! And, have they all left the Rochester area or where have they gotten to? Most interesting and wonderful pics and I hope I will be hearing about the others, also. Keep up the Good Pics and Knowledge — I hope to get up there next year for some of this great event

Fantastic pictures and great updates. I check back from time to time to hear any news of the 4 young ‘uns (this is the first year I’ve followed a Falcon Watch) and am always fascinated to hear what’s been happening. Thanks.

I am from Columbus, Ohio-the birthplace of Wind of the Sheraton Hotel was hatched and fledged from the Rhodes State Office Tower downtown in 1998. She has had a very difficult time-no mate of her own (but babies with Windwhistler at King Street until THIS year when she got her own mate-Tiago; and now this!

Great pictures. Linn certainly looks imposing up on that tree branch. On Friday, Aug 18 a GenesseeBirds list member reported “a banded peregrine falcon with a very readable leg band” at the nearby Batavia Wastewater Plant. Linn again?

Great that Rhea Mae is doing well! Thanks to Mark Nash and his jolly band of volunteers for that report.
