Title: Two questions Post by: dale on 15-Apr-11, 04:13:50 AM 1. I tried to post the following thought (#2) in "Rochester Falcon Offspring" but did not find the usual "Start New Topic" button on the top right. Is that section closed for some reason? It was posted in quite recently.
2. It might be fun to have, in addition to the family tree (or perhaps somehow incorporated into it?), a place to record, not sightings in contexts that produced more falcons, but simply mentions of the most recent/last sighting of a bird after its first summer; for example, Linn was last sighted (as far as I remember) in 2009 in Scarborough, with a mate; Quest, Zephyr, and Ihteram have also been seen and identified - just what I remember offhand. There may already be this sort of compilation (or it may have been discussed at length) - sorry for my ignorance, if so. Title: Re: Two questions Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 15-Apr-11, 04:54:43 AM Question 1-good question!
Question 2-the family tree was generated from a genealogy website and the last known "residence" of each bird is listed there. I'll see over the weekend if it can generate a report that includes that info. Title: Re: Two questions Post by: Shaky on 15-Apr-11, 06:39:00 AM 1.

Members can reply to topics but can't start them. Title: Re: Two questions Post by: dale on 15-Apr-11, 10:12:14 AM Thanks, Ei and Shaky!
Which other Mariah/Kaver offspring have been positively identified in various places, besides those 4 I mentioned? Anyone remember who I'm forgetting?

Freedom Seneca Ranger (Mariah and Cabot-Scirocco) was seen in Toronto for many years; may still be there.

Title: Re: Two questions Post by: dale on 15-Apr-11, 10:47:57 AM Right. I remembered Linn, Quest, Ihteram, and Zephyr - I assumed the ones already listed as deceased or as having offspring of their own - the others, the ones who were spotted but not dead and not reproducing, are the ones not indicated in any way!

I'll see over the weekend if it can generate a report that includes that info. Current "contact info", which is where last known "residence" is stored, is not available in chart form. So I decided to whip up a quick map, but my 'puter has been giving me fits today (I should blame who's really responsible-Microsoft updates loading some anti-malware program that plugged up everything-2 system restores later I'm back where I started...minus my log-in cookie for flickr, which now doesn't want to give me a log-in screen :tickedoff: :frustrated: ) Anyway...where are they now will have to wait for another day. Title: Re: Two questions Post by: dale on 18-Apr-11, 01:50:21 AM Ei,
I certainly didn't mean to make more work for you! I bet as a group we can fairly easily come up with a bunch of that data; for example, the last time I have a record of Linn being seen was by Mark Nash in 5/09, in Scarborough. ...and you had a thread last June called "Updated Banding Table" http://rfalconcam.com/forum/index.php?topic=2592.msg18730#msg18730 (http://rfalconcam.com/forum/index.php?topic=2592.msg18730#msg18730) with a bunch of info... e.g., "Ihteram was positively ID'd in...I'm thinking 2008...in Macomb county Michigan." Was the last time Zephyr was seen when he was hanging with Mariah? what else? I'm tired or I'd play with the "search" function a bit more tonight... Title: Re: Two questions Post by: Bonnie on 25-Apr-11, 09:55:31 AM I can't believe it has been two years since we heard about Linn. I thought someone posted something winter 2010. And the Jersey City Linn was also spotted somewhere.
Title: Re: Two questions Post by: dale on 25-Apr-11, 12:53:09 PM I can't believe it has been two years since we heard about Linn. I know - seems like it was more recently. I'm going from my records - I was emailing Linn Pierson's friends whenever we had news of falcon-Linn. and the last email I seem to have sent was based on a report by Mark Nash re: an adult pair seen at the Scarborough Bell bldg. hack box in 5/09. |
