 Has anyone seen Mariah lately? What is she up to? I miss her! :crying:

Me Too!   :(

I miss her too.  She hasn't been seen/positively ID'd since the end of October.  I have no doubt that she's ok.   :happy:

I'm really surprised she hasn't come to see you Carol. She must be busy looking for some male companionship. Hopefully a faithful one who knows his stuff.

Like Kaver!  :heart: :heart: :heart:

Me, too, since Carol seems to have a "hot-line" to Mariah  ;)

Well, it isn't too long until Easter Sunday.  I think there will be a lot of Watchers out that day keeping an eye on things.  Let's hope it's a quiet one for a change.  :yes: 

 :bow: Amen....Easter scares me now.

OMG lets hope the ladies in our life stay far apart on Easter  :scaredblue:

I saw 2 falcon's tonight playing some tag over Seneca Manor apartments.  Have you checked that far down Carol?  Nothing but seagulls at the mall...I'm beginning to think Mariah has some sort of engineering curse.  First Kodak.  Then Midtown.  Now they're going to level the mall.  Not for nothing, but she needs a hardhat!

I hope the female Jim saw Archer & Beauty chasing was not Mariah.

Lots of action downtown today.  Lots of e-chupping, and activity between the TS Bldg, Top of the Plaza and the smokestack inbetween.  At one point this afternoon around 12:15 they were VERY active.

All was quiet between 3:45 and 4:00 pm.  Beauty at the nest box and Archer on old Changing Scenes Restaurant.

I can't help but think about Mariah. It was a year ago that she was injured. I pray that where ever she is, she's doing well. Bless you Mariah, you gave us many years of joy. Bless my boy Kaver too. I will miss him  forever.    :crying:

Thank you Carol & Brian for saving the "Queen"...we'll never forget! :bow:

If you all see Brian today....give him a  :clap: and a hug. Same to you Carol.

 :falcon2:   Long live the queen!!!

Me Too...............................

Will always be grateful that Carol & Brian were there to save Mariah. I miss her & Kaver everyday.  In my travels, I try to keep a close look out "just in case"...Happy Easter to all. :flowers:

Thanks everyone.  It was a peaceful Easter Sunday morning.   :falcon2:

I'm so glad. Yay!  :clap: :thumbsup:

Beautifully said Donna. I miss them and am grateful to both M/K for being with us.  And to Carol and Brian for saving her.  I hope someday we see her again.  I would love to know she is in a good place thriving.  I know she is but would love to really know.  Our precious Mariah and Kaver!!! :heart: :heart: :heart:

Re: Mariah?

Thank you so much for the chronology of events Shaky. The 'old guy' has been
away on sick leave and it almost breaks my heart to learn that Kaver and Mariah
are no longer around. But that is life I suppose.
The same thing unfolds in our human life, albiet over a longer period of time.
Thank you ever so much for all your input over the past several years Shakymon.
You have been a great asset to this chat site, if not the greatest asset.

While I was hunting for the Imprints on Sabrina/Valiant in Ogdensburg I ran into a picture I had wanted to share Sunday but ran out of time to find...



This is the picture of Mariah I most want to remember when I think about her injury and rescue!

Our precious gal :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

So resilient after so much has happened.  I know she is somewhere,healthy and free.  Just wish we knew where

Mariah could go up to the Lennox building Quest doesn't seem to want it and maybe we could talk them into a cam  ;D

Has anyone had the chance to look where Mariah was last seen?  I find it hard to believe she wouldn't have returned to Rochester at all????
Vandrefalk

There wasn't much more to report.  Dan and I were too far away.  I wasn't able to get any pictures.  Neither of us saw a split wing tip.  Female based on size.  We believe adult.

Many of the Watchers continue to check out the areas where Mariah had been seen, but nothing yet.  We'll keep watching.

Thanks Carol...even from a distance I suspect you would have had a gut feeling if it was Mariah. 

I know you're all still watching for Mariah...just hard to keep saying "looked for her but didn't see her" I'm sure.

I'm so relieved that it isn't Mariah.  I want her to be in a safe place.

Todays D & C gave reference that Mariah could be deceased . (DON'T FLAME ME I AM ONLY REPORTING WHAT I READ)
Unless this is confirmed somebody should set them straight as this is how rumors are started.
Medly Center is proof "Gangs hiding under cars with uzi's robbing people"
Mariah is too important to let this happen.

I was p'd off when I read the last paragraph where June Summers spoke of her as if she were dead! She's our queen and deserves better!!! :tickedoff:

@Dot in PA: The third intruding falcon has not been seen since Thursday afternoon.  It's likely this bird was passing through and thought it might try to seize Archer and Beauty's territory, but finding it well defended, moved on.

Before everyone gets all juiced up over June Summers's  comments in the interview with the D&C (read it HERE (http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20100411/NEWS01/4110360/1003/Downtown-Rochester-falcons-add-egg-to-nest)), let's all take a deep breath.  

I wouldn't read too much into her comments.  She's just offering one possible explanation for Mariah's absence.  It would have been nice to hear others, but I don't think she was intending to offer a final verdict.  Indeed, without proof (finding her leg bands, for example), no one can say what has happened to her (which is exactly what June said to lead off her quote).

Keep in mind that the newspaper may have only used part of her statement.  Often a whole quote gets shortened by an editor because of space considerations on the page.

So let's not get too worked up over a short article in the paper.

I'm not all worked up . I just think people should be more respectful  of the facts when they speak.  For all we know Mariah could be with Kaver  somewhere.(I wish) :heart:

I always read the news with a grain of salt...I don't know-I don't see any dirt in with the nestbox gravel as reported...and I doubt June only gave 2 short sentences about Mariah.  In any case, unless her band is reported I choose to believe she is either nesting somewhere we haven't found or she's enjoying her retirement

I just thought it was a terrible way to end the article. Bad editing I guess.

Should have accentuated the positive in my opinion...bad editing for sure...

Hey Dot - I saw that post and headed downtown right after work.  When I found that everything was peaceful and quiet, I tweeted a report saying so.  I saw no evidence of a third falcon or any battle.  Thankfully.   :happy:

Usually when you see an abrupt ending to a newspaper article it's been cut short by a section editor.  Journalism 101: Put the most important information at the top of the article so you don't lose too much if the editors have to cut your story short.

Myself and 4 others saw the battle Carole, which is why I posted in the Tweet column.  For what it's worth, there was another one on Friday afternoon over by the old factory across from Kodak Park.  I don't think it was Mariah, because this female appears to be only slightly larger than Archer when I saw them near the TSB.  I think there is a third in the area, and was still active as of Friday.

I would NEVER post in the Tweet zone unless I knew it was important.  I work right under the nest box, so I see alot, and know the difference on when to be concerned, and when not to be.

At no time did I try to imply the 3rd pefa was Mariah, nor would I.  She's just as near and dear to my heart as she is to everyone.  I think she has settled into new areas in the West Irondequoit area, and that covers great terrain all the way down to Lake Ontario.  I choose to believe she's happy, hunting, and has found a new mate or is still trying. 

If we've learned one thing about her, it's her resilience and her courage and strength, and I would rather see the glass half full, rather than empty.

Thanks for following up on that post Carole.  I know the watchers do an incredible job.  I pass many of you on my daily route.

I think Mariah is a smart gal and she wouldn't get into another battle downtown.  My guess too is that she is somewhere nearby.  I hope she is doing well.  And I hope she has a mate.  I miss her

Well, you should definitely stop and say hi next time.  :wave: Please continue to post what you see.  It's really important to have Watchers that are close to the Times Square bldg reporting on the forum.

I will continue Carole.  That event occurred shortly after the 1st egg was laid, and Beauty was in the fray as well.

You've got lots of converts on the ground.  Every time someone asks me if I'm looking at the clouds, I tell them to look up, or check out Mercury's foot, and I get a new fan each and every time.  I now keep my field glasses in my desk, so they can take turns viewing, as well as have them check out the latest "live" pics on my iphone of the nest box.

Ain't technology grand?  If more people took the time to learn, they would be amazed as well!  Thanks Carole.

I am stunned continually at the number of people who are aware of falcons.  It is so cool!  Thank you birdlover for keeping an eye out!!

 :clap: BL

Yeah, what she said!    :gum:

I gave up on the Press years ago - they have an agenda, they write it and the sheep believe it (much easier than checking out the facts).  Take a snipet and make a story - today's press: aka the Drive-by Media!

Wham13, our local tv station, had a short clip about Beauty and Archer today.  Nice interview with Jim P.  But, they showed times square building and had it captioned as Kodak.  Oy!

See, everyone is still used to saying "The Kodak Falcons"....Now it's the "Times Square" falcons

I personally think they should always be called the "Kodak Falcons".  It's where it all started, and it's where it should always be.  That's the ultimate tribute to Mariah and Kaver!

I still call them the Kodak Falcons.....change is hard.

or Rochester Falcons...which ever comes out of my mouth first.  :confused0083:

And that was after I specifically told the interviewer that A & B were not the Kodak falcons, then went on to explain what had transpired since the box was removed from Kodak.  Also we sent a press release to the media following the first egg with similar info.  But as Janet pointed out, rarely does the press get the story straight.

They have a promo for 13Wham featuring the "new lovebirds" for tonight!  Hopefully, they get it straight!  Sheesh!

 :clap: Nice..thank Jim

We have to be careful with saying "Times Square" falcons.  When I was on the Cleveland Board recently, I noticed they follow "Times Square" falcons in New York City.  I guess we better stick to Rochester Falcons (TS Bldg) for now.

Mariah before she was rescued by Carol & Brian

Funny-I was cleaning up my work computer & found this stashed in a temp folder I hadn't cleaned out...

I hope where ever Mariah is she is HAPPY (just wish I knew where)

I miss them both  :(

Me too :crying:

me three big time

Oh, those pix are precious!

I was just scrolling through all these pages in this thread. I confess, I have not been following the falcons this year (looking for employment takes most of my time). I knew Kaver didn't show up last year and that Mariah was forced to move. I had often wondered what became of Mariah and I guess everyone else is wondering too. For 1 majestic raptor to evoke so much emotion in people is truly amazing. Sometimes I wonder about us humans, but then I check this forum and realize there are still people who care.

I agree - wherever Mariah is I hope she is happy!

Welcome to the forum, KMinNorCal. Thank you for such a nice first post.

By the way, the streaming video rocks!! :clap:

I believe she is.   :heart:
