Thank you for posting this.  When we lived in that area, we spent many a day at the Ornithology Lab and Sapsucker Woods, always leaving time to look at the wonderful paintings of Louis Agassiz Fuertes.  This had a good deal of detailed info that I didn't know before, so it was a true pleasure to read.

Dale, they are so beautiful! I had a wonderful time this morning going through your art. My favorites (hard to choose) were the owls in "other critters" and the birds by the water in your oils. Thank you so much for posting your website for us to enjoy.

These were way above and beyond fabulous!! Thanks so much for posting them.

What wonderful news!!! Thanks for letting us know that all is OK after the fiasco with the window washers. I sure hope they were heavily fined and then fired.

DRAMA!!  And so far, an unbelievable outcome.  All three fledglings are alive and in good health.  Two are back at 101 Hudson and the third will be going back very soon.

You can find YouTube videos of lots of the Tuesday action if you search for Jersey City Falcon.  Also, there is a wordpress blog at:

I was fortunate to be able to be a part of a rescue and return.  The third falcon, BM/13, has a minor injury, but had been fed during the five days she was missing.

                         

             

  Hope you have a wonderful day!!!

PPOs eggs failed again this year, but she and Poppa will have a chance to raise babies! A nearby rescue had 2 orphaned spotted eagle owl chicks that have now been fostered into PPOs nest! So far, so good!

[wonderful birthday!]

Annette, here's wishing you a wonderful birthday!

Shaky, thank you for a very beautiful farewell to Donna. The silence really is deafening.

Dot in PA

Donna, nooooo I am devastated to hear this awful news. She was so involved with our falcons and I could never believe all the time she put in watching the cams and posting. Although we have never met in person, she always helped me post my holiday falcon cards. I am trying to work through her passing by thinking of her uniting with Ed and the falcons who did not make it, especially Kaver. Sincere wishes to her family.

Condolences, Linda.

Have a wonderful birthday, Nicole!

Happy Birthday, Shaky! Hope your day was perfect. for all the many things you do to keep us informed about the falcons.

Don't know if this will help, but the raptors in my yard (mostly red-tail hawks and kestrels) immediately pluck only the longest feathers from the prey and fly off with the rest of it.  Your pile looks like it was completely de-feathered right there where it was killed. If I had to guess, I'd suspect a 4-legged predator like a cat.

Carla, hope your birthday was terrific!

I too am sorry to hear this news, as Ginha was one of the posters on this list that I always looked forward to reading.
