Title: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: Carol P. on 06-Aug-09, 09:36:42 PM You're not going to believe this. But tonite at 7:30 pm, a Falcon flew up and around and around the Research Lab Bldg at KP, finally landing on the SW corner. I quickly got out my scope and was surprised to see that it was a juvenile Peregrine and she (yes, I believe it was a she) was unbanded. She also had a very full crop.
She was a beautiful, light color. Like Aura and Sacajawea. She sat on the corner for about an hour (7:30-8:30 pm), then took off heading south east over the gorge. Earlier, during the hour, an adult Peregrine Falcon flew over, heading north east over the gorge. Mariah??? The juvie watched the adult pass over with great interest and no vocalization. I have to wonder if she's begging for food from Mariah??? That's just a suspicion. It's documented that roaming juveniles will beg from other adults. I'm having fun keeping an eye on KP and the Merrill St folks are happy to look through the scope. :happy: Carol P Title: Re: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: Bonnie on 06-Aug-09, 09:55:06 PM Now, I'm getting really excited. Of course, you guys have reported other falcons in the other area before.
Yup, the scope is a really big attraction and a great way to get folks interested in the falcons. (or eagles) It's also a great way to make new friends. :surprise: Title: Re: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: Bird Crazy on 06-Aug-09, 10:14:26 PM I can believe that Mariah would "mother" that Juvie, she has always been a GREAT Mother.

Here's a video of the juvie flying around the Research Lab Bldg. The annoying beeping in the background is coming from my car. That'll teach me to leave my door open with the keys in the ignition. LOL :laugh: Enjoy! Title: Re: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: Lord G on 06-Aug-09, 10:26:27 PM Good catch Carol, and nice video too.

Donna Title: Re: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: Lisa F. on 07-Aug-09, 01:23:15 AM Carol, I can't stop laughing at the car beeping. That juvie seems to be having a lot of fun flying around. Can we assume it's a juvie born in May-ish and who recently fledged? I don't actually know when falcons turn from brown to their adult coloring.
Wow, and unbanded. Is this another circle of life moment? A new unbanded female comes to Rochester? Lisa F. in CA P.S.: Now I know why all the posters have gone smiley crazy. To those of you who haven't posted, once you get to the posting screen it fairly screams at you to start adding smileys. It's very, very tempting to try a new one.... Title: Re: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: Donna in MS on 07-Aug-09, 01:27:13 AM :clap: The video is great! Thanks for posting it and the news of the unbanded juvie.

your juvie video is wonderful! S/he has sure many fun during flight. Thank you for sharing. Greetings Annette Title: Re: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: Shaky on 07-Aug-09, 07:36:08 AM Lisa and Donna, congratulations on your first posts!
Title: Re: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: Shaky on 07-Aug-09, 07:39:42 AM Carol is that really your car beeping, or is it your mockingbird friend?
Title: Re: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: Paul Hamilton on 07-Aug-09, 08:52:21 AM Nice video! You did a fine job of tracking.
I wonder whether she was hatched in the Rochester area? In any case, you have sown me something I never expected to see this year - a juvenile peregrine in Rochester. Paul Title: Re: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: Bonnie on 07-Aug-09, 09:23:57 AM Now that bird looks like 'our' kids on Water St. and in Jersey City!! The juvie looks like it is trying to land, but can't find quite the right spot. They 'found' another new pair in Jersey, just north of JC.
Title: Re: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: DianaR on 07-Aug-09, 11:14:29 AM So... there's the question - where are the nearest falcon nesting spots from which the juveniles are not banded?
DianaR Title: Re: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: huddiecat on 07-Aug-09, 11:16:35 AM Carol,
I wonder if this means the falcons have really started to "move". If so, let's hope a dashing and handsome male wanders through the area soon!

DianaR That's tough to answer because the closest spots may not be known to us, which is why the eyases were not banded. Title: Re: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: DianaR on 07-Aug-09, 12:45:31 PM Yes, I know.I thought there might be a place or two where they are not banded due to difficulty of access even though folks know where they are.
Title: Re: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: Albion on 07-Aug-09, 01:37:52 PM It might be nice to see if Mariah takes on this Juvie. She has been through so much and that may make her feel whole again...(now that is what I think ) ;) I will watch video tonight! Great eye!
Title: Re: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: jeanne on 07-Aug-09, 07:42:03 PM Carol, you have to teach your car to kak!
;) Title: Re: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: Carol P. on 08-Aug-09, 10:24:43 PM :paperbag: The unknown juvie was on the research lab bldg at Kodak Park again this afternoon, but not for long. S/he was being bugged by a bee and soon took off. Also, saw 4 Red-tail Hawks. No Mariah. :star:

No Mariah. :star: The entire route from Niagara Falls to and including the NYS Thruway was heavy with RTH. May have seen a Kestral just over the border in Canada! Title: Re: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: ~Sage~ on 10-Aug-10, 04:24:22 PM There are FOUR UNBANDED Buffalo Statler juvies out and about! :thumbsup:
Title: Re: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: chicki on 10-Aug-10, 07:58:16 PM Uh, I may sound a bit naive but...could Mariah still be around this year, mated, and this juvie be hers?
Title: Re: Unbanded Juvenile Peregrine at Kodak Park on the Research Lab Bldg - 8/6/09 Post by: Bird Crazy on 10-Aug-10, 08:08:53 PM guys the date on that post says August of last year unless that is wrong.

Yes BC, it was from last August.
