Hello All, Don and I spent yesterday watching the Mudlock Bald Eagles, mainly to see if they had chosen a new nest tree...yes, they had! The wind was incredible yesterday, but they carried in huge branches to their new nest site. At one point, the head wind was so strong that the Eagle rested in several trees several along the way before reaching the chose nest tree. It has a way to go, by Bald Eagle standards, but it looks as though they plan to re-nest! Don took some pics and I can provide details of where it is if anyone is interested. Suzanne in Ithaca  |

Yesterday Don and I checked the Bald Eagle nests around Montezuma. The Mudlock nest, tree and all, evidently went down in the strong winds of last week. We sat for a while hoping to see the pair, but no sign.
We've watched the Bald Eagles at the Lock for a number of years, and are now hoping they will either re-build or take over the lock Osprey nest. The Osprey nest was taken over by a pair of Bald Eagles a number of years ago. Poor Osprey pair were rather upset, but who is going to argue with a Bald Eagle!

Hi All,
This weekend Don and I checked the Montezuma area Bald Eagle nests. Most pairs were on or near their nests. We observed the Great Gully pair mating...yeah, Spring is in the air!! BTW, the Great Gully nest is just north of Aurura, NY in the trees behind the Great Gully Farm.

Sunday morning Don and I went downtown to check for Pigott, George, and hopefully the juvies. When we arrived both Pigott and George were sleeping on separate balconies at Harrison House, but no sign of the juvies there. Last year while walking around the Downtown Art and Craft Fair, two juvies chased a pigeon overhead! I guess I was hoping for the same excitement this year as I looked for unique gifts. While purchasing a bird print we heard kakking overhead! It was an adult chasing after a mid-day pigeon snack. We checked all the usual and not usual spots, but no juvie sightings. It's always a bitter sweet feeling when I realize that the little fluffy juvies have grown up and are now on their own. Maybe they just made a day-trip to the lake Suzanne in Ithaca |

I haven't posted any Pigott updates in a bit. Both this past weekend and the weekend before Don and I were downtown Syracuse looking for the family. We found Pigott and George hanging out at the Harrison Tower, the first weekend. This past weekend Pigoot was sleeping at Harrison, while George was on the Hill's Building watching Chayton who was on City Hall.
We were entertained by Chayton both weekends, but did not see Cholena either weekend. A week ago Chayton went into a stoop after a pigeon who was only a few feet away from us...yikes!!! It was the closest I had been to a falcon in the wild!! It happened so fast and was so close that Don could not get a pic...lol! Chayton also chased a gull by the OnCenter parking lot. Don promises to download his pics once he gets back into town, and when he does I'll post them on the FB page.
BTW, for those not in town, the State Tower is now engulfed in scaffolding. I trust Pigott will figure something out, though.

Hello All,
Don and I will not be able to make it this year. We will be visiting family in New England and returning Saturday, July 9th. On Sunday, July 10th, we will be floating around downtown Syracuse checking on Pigott and her family. Anyone interested in joining us Sunday on their way home from Fledge Watch Weekend, let me know. I'm sure Pigott would enjoy a familiar falcon face!
