See attached Picasa Album for watch photos and report of the Brighton Pefa...

plus Beauty and her friend on the Tower of Kodak Office.

For those who are not familiar with the terms the watchers use at Kodak Tower, here is file that Lou made in 2005 to help identify...

Nice watch and photos Joyce. Wow the PC falcon is a cutie but aren't they all? He's unbanded right?

Great pictures, Joyce! 

I see they still have the netting up around the playpen to block the old nest site on Kodak.  Sigh!

And my take on the interactions between Beauty & her friend...he's behaving more like a juvie than an adult.  And she's behaving more like a mother than a mate.  He's happy enough to grab a free meal and a few lessons in urban peregrine life.  She won't chase him away just yet, just in case.

I have said this before (sorry) but a few years ago, we did have reports of falcons off of South Ave and around MCC.  I have to wonder if we have a nesting pair -- or if this is our nesting pair that just becomes more visible in winter

I remember that Jeanne.  Carol also posed the same question, and I am wondering about that possibility too.  Or, stretching it a bit...do we have an unbanded pair that has come south from a northern city like Montreal?  Hmmmm...any pairs up in Canada that fit our despcription?

Not sure about Canada falcons but we might want to check with Terry from Wild Wings.  Her husband had seen falcons near where he works (off South Ave).  Not sure if he has recently

No recent reports from Terry, but where her husband works on South Ave, is in the middle of Archer and Beauty's territory.  Not very far from the Times Square Bldg.  I usually drive by that building when I look for the downtown Pefas.  I think the year Terry's husband saw one of them eating at the loading dock, he was pretty sure it was a juvenile.  That was a few years back.
