Update on BB (former resident of UB-Yankee's former mate)-Has been found in Ft. Erie, Ontario, Canada with a mate! Saw on FB with pics!

Wow, was wondering where she ended up! Surprised she didn't go back to UB!! Maybe she did and got the boot!  Good news, glad she is safe and has a mate! Thanks

This is the best scenario for her!  :phew:

This is such good news! 

What wonderful news, she's alive and she looks fantastic!!  She's such a strong falcon, exactly the way you want them to be..she's a survivor!

Hi guys! It took me a couple days to get back on here. It kept telling me there was no such username as ~Sage~.

So Buffalo has EGG #1 from Dixie and Yankee at UB! We may have other eggs in the Buffalo area, but with no cams, who knows?

Dix & Yankee at it again! (https://scontent-1.2914.fna.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/t1.0-9/1969230_783806561630278_537953395_n.jpg)

Here is our newest nest box located in Dunkirk, already claimed by a female. A male has also been seen there so we are hoping for a successful nesting! Nest can be seen from Dunkirk Harbor where it's best to have a scope or long lens, and also closer spots which give more of a side view.

The Dunkirk female can be seen perched to the right of the box. Turkey Vultures also seem to love that stack. Anxious to see how that will play out.

Dixie and Yankee had their second egg at around 8:43am 3/30/14.

UB has THREE EGGS TODAY!

 :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

CORRECTION: Someone UNKNOWN to us at Peregrine Place and UNKNOWN to our local Peregrine watchers posted an erroneously under "by others" yesterday. There are just TWO EGGS at the STATLER, not three, yesterday, as he, TK said.
Also of importance: Mr Lewadowski is kindly letting the DEC check the Central Terminal box tomorrow! Thank You!

I think I saw somewhere that they have 2 eggs there so far.  :wave:

Busy time for mom and dad now!  :yes:

Buffalo Update (per DEC):

Three Buffalo sites had 4 eggs each this year...UB (Mackay Tower), Central Terminal (Rochester's Diamante is the dad), and Statler (downtown).

Mackay Tower at UB (online) has 4 cute eyases. http://www.buffalo.edu/falconcam.html (http://www.buffalo.edu/falconcam.html) (Pic attached from this afternoon)

Hatch at Statler. (Photo attached from Peregrine Place) Can't tell if it one or two eyases?

Don't know the status of hatches at Central Terminal.

There has also been a sighting of a banded female frequenting the South Grand Island Bridge.

I thought that Statler City had 5 eggs this year? Looks like in pic with 2 eyases.

Looks like it to me too. I was told last Sunday there were 4 everywhere and no one had 5. Maybe DEC wasn't updated.

Joyce, I don't know where you got four. FBPP posted pix, Statler with a total of five.

UB banding was today...3 females and 1 male!  Congrats to Yankee, Dixie and their followers! :2thumbsup:

That's awesome!!  :thumbsup:

Not UB but Statler news:

NYS Department of Environmental Conservation safely release one of the Statler City Peregrine Falcons back on our roof after she was found in front of the convention center sidewalk this week..

(Joyce) I just became aware that Ella from UB was injured. As noted, her wing web was pierced. Bone not broken. Unfortunately she will not fly again. She might have had a chance if the veterinarian had gotten her a couple of days sooner.
It was not mentioned where she was found and no other details are known. It does not sound like she would be euthanised. Also it is not know what USFWS and DEC will do with her. She might make good educational bird because she is so young.

 :( How awful! Could have been fixed if caught sooner. Poor Ella.

Poor Ella.... :(

How sad for her. 😟

I hate to hear this but on the bright side she could educate many!  :yes:

Cross reference NOTE - Now that BILLIE (2013) from Central Terminal is in Rochester, Connie (DEC) advised to refer to her as BILLIE with an IE. Even though original person named after was Billy, this would be less confusing for female peregrine.

Yankee and Dixie were both at the nest last night. Yankee did not come any farther into view, and left after a few minutes.

Dixie did a little more work on the carpet:

I was just about to post about this, Carly.  Bad news indeed.

I just read about this on FB! This is sooo sad! Her poor mate is probably wondering where she is!

 Poor girl!!   :(  Some are worse than others!!

Poor BB..so sad that she has to go through this again.  :(

I feel bad for BB.  She is just being a peregrine.  :'(

 :no: say it ain't so!  :'(

Such sad news.  :(

I agree, this should not have happened! 1 fierce momma gets put away for protecting what is hers! I'd take a hit in the head by her instead of a bullet to the head from the real killers that are on the loose out there! It just isn't fair. I feel so bad for BB........again!!!

it is not right, they are on her roof, invading her space.

So she dive-bombed! (DC does it to Beauty)  ;)

Any word on BB yet?
