Title: Downed bird in northeast Rochester
Post by: Guru on 13-Aug-09, 12:37:30 AM
Hi Guys.  First post here and it is one of worry.  On my way into the office Wednesday morning I fear I observed a downed falcon north of the corner of Hudson Ave and Clifford Ave near the old Holy Redeemer Church.  I could not stop and when I had returned later, all evidence was gone.  Are all our friends accounted for?  I hope I was mistaken.  A very lite colored breast and dark back.

I had a similar experience last week, but I checked it out and it was a juvenile gull.
In the quick pass-by, I thought falcon myself, but they can appear alike when traveling at speed and only with a glance.

So glad to see that all our Rochester falcons (A&B, M+Ju) were spotted this weekend.  At least the downed bird was not one of our resident peregrines.
