Title: The Annual Rochester Falcon Watcher New Years Day Toast to a Successful 2012 Post by: Carol P. on 21-Dec-11, 08:18:51 PM Another year has flown by! Literally! It has been an odd year for us here in Rochester. But even though there were no young falcons to watch grow up to fledgling or grace our sky, we have a lot to be thankful for.
The Watchers were able to spend some time helping out our friends in Buffalo and Canada on their fledge watches and were involved in two rescues in Buffalo at Central Terminal. We were able to travel over the border into Canada and witness the banding of Rhea Mae's, Linn's and Quest's young ones. We even visited Stormin's new nest site where he took over caring for the young that hatched there. For those that don't know, Stormin is Rhea Mae's son. On Sunday, January 1st 2012 at noon, all of the Rochester Falcon Watchers and Rochester Falcon Fanatics are invited to gather near the intersection of Exchange and Broad, below the falcon nest box high on top of the Times Square building for our annual toast to a successful 2012 Rochester Falcon season. To all our falcons fans around the world, please feel free to join us in this toast. Here's to a successful year for our Rochester Falcons Archer, Beauty and Unity. May there be fluffy eyases to watch grow up. Let there again be young Peregrine Falcons gracing the sky above Rochester, NY. Wishing all of you and your families peace and joy this holiday season!
