We are sorry to report that Beauty, the resident female nesting on the Times Square Bldg in Downtown Rochester, was found on the ground near the Xerox Tower. She was taken to a local rehabber, where she is being checked over and will receive the care she needs.
The DEC has been notified as well as June Summers of the Genesee Valley Audubon. Since Beauty is an endangered species in New York State, she is under the protection of the DEC.
At this time, we do not know the extent of her injuries.
As soon as we hear anything, we will post it here.
We here at Rochester Falconcam hope that Beauty heals quickly and soon graces the sky above Rochester once again.
Sending healing prayers for our girl. So far, 2012 has not been a good one for Raptors.
I’m praying her injuries are not serious. Keep fighting Beauty!
My thoughts are with my girl. Hope she will soon grace the sky over Rochester.
So much sad news lately and now this.
Sending healing thoughts and prayers to our Beauty.
Please bless Beauty with non serious injuries…Postive thoughts
for all the Rochester folks.
Get well soon, Beauty!!

Poor Beauty. It is almost too much to bear in the last few weeks. I hope that she is on the road to recovery. Bless you, our Beauty.
OMG NO ! to much to bear, please be ok my sweet one
Cound the “Noisemaking” at Washington Square Park have disoriented her? Pathetic that entire story there.
I can’t take this….I am stunned with sadness beyond words.
I did not have computer access yesterday and am just seeing this now. I am heart-broken as everyone else is and am praying for her. I know you will keep us all posted!
@Guru-We don’t have much information, but what we do have indicates it was most likely a territorial battle, not the crow scaring operation.
Nature, I think we can handle that.
Be well, Beauty, and come back to us soon~

Oh, dear. Could it be that strange peregrine pair reported recently, or even Unity?
So much sad news for our falcons in starting off the new year.
Many positive thoughts to a full and speedy recovery for Beauty!!
