Title: Falcon Watch North - KP - Adult Peregrine on the Hunt - 8/11/09 (7-8pm) Post by: Carol P. on 11-Aug-09, 09:27:36 PM From Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
Tonite, Lynda and I kept Watch on the west side of Kodak Park, with the sun behind us. It was a gorgeous evening. We kept a close eye on all the birds flying through the area. Pigeons, Gulls, Geese, Startlings, etc, etc. At 7:30 pm, Lynda told me that she saw a bird flying on the far side (east) of Kodak Park. The bird was flying over the gorge, circling higher and higher. It was definitely a Peregrine Falcon (good eye Lynda!) and it was definitely on a hunt. I’m fairly certain that it was an adult, but because the bird was so far from us, I never saw a split wing tip. For about 10 minutes we watched as the Peregrine circled above the river gorge. The Falcon then headed north, following the gorge. We waited for awhile to see if the Falcon would return. No such luck. Lynda was going to head downtown and I headed north down Lake Ave, towards the lake. I had hoped to find the Falcon, but again, no such luck. We’ll definitely be keeping an eye on this area. I hope to see Mariah and the unbanded juvenile again soon. :yes: Title: Re: Falcon Watch North - KP - Adult Peregrine on the Hunt - 8/11/09 (7-8pm) Post by: Joyce on 11-Aug-09, 09:50:38 PM Hooray! :clap: A peregrine sighting at KP gorge area. It's been 2 weeks since Mariah was first sighted. Good job Lynda!
