Thanks, Shaky!!!  What a sweet story!  Baby Harlie has dual citizenship!!!!!!!  And how precious that the folks have banded themselves too!!!  I like these folks!!!!!

I just had a thought of why Quest might not have been so aggressive. Maybe she thought they were coming for her to take the transmitter off.  2funny

When Quest was seen on Cape Cod, I remember reading that folks were shocked that she was calm during the many photos people took of her.  This might just be her personality.  It's not that she is enthralled with humans but she is familiar with them.

Kat, don't feel silly at all!!!! This is how we all are! If she is like her mama, fledging will be interesting!  I was checking the Toronto weather forecast lots last night cause I saw a line of thunderstorms moving in and I was worried!!

Shaky's comment is important-- best to organize a fledge watch with CPF!  And we are here for all of you for that first fledge week especially!

Poor little guy took a wrong turn and is alone in NZ.  Experts say it is too expensive and dangerous to rescue him so he has to find his own way back

Wow! Couldn't tell if it was Quest or Kendal (I think Quest, though), but I just witnessed a fantastic aerial battle between falcon and seagull. The seagull persisted for quite some time and there were many loops and dives: acrobatics galore! Like watching a scene from Top Gun (well...sort of!). Finally they flew off in opposite directions, but I thought that seagull was going to wind up on the ground. Amazing.

Could it be that Harlequin is demanding "bigger dinner"? Wink

Top Gun indeed!  You haven't been a member here long enough to know about the pix Shaky used to create for us...and I'm sure you heard a few people mention that Kendal looks like Kaver, Quest's father.

And so, I present to you (and all the other newbies here) the classic Shaky pic, Top Gun...



OH, EI!!!!!!!!  I love love love the picture of Kaver!!!  So handsome!!!!  The best dad!!!

MAK, these pictures are just fabulous.  I have to admit, I got teary-- I enlarged the picture of Quest and it was so awesome to see her close like that.  Kendal is handsome!!!  Our gals have picked terciels handsome like their dad, Kaver! heart heart heart

So glad Cinnamon is ok!  These CPF are awesome!!!  And how wonderful that people in the neighborhoods are alert to the falcons and watch out for them!

Love the video!  Thanks MAK!  Harlie is so cute!!!  Thanks so much, Kat!  We worry too!!!!  So glad you are there to watch!!!!
1029  Rochester Falcons / Rochester Falcon Offspring / Re: Quest and Kendal - Toronto/Don Mills on: 21-Jun-11, 10:45:57 PM
Kat, welcome!!!!  So nice to read your post!!!  I share your nervousness about the ledge!! These birds are just life changing!!!!

Thanks, Shaky!!!!
1031  Rochester Falcons / Rochester Falcon Offspring / Re: Quest and Kendal - Toronto/Don Mills on: 21-Jun-11, 04:16:27 PM
I am so grateful also to Harlequin and the magnificent folks at CPF.  We have waited so long for Quest to find her home.  What an opportunity it has been to know where she has been and to see her home, her mate and her little one.  Little Harlie, you are part of a strong legacy- be safe in your travels! heart heart heart
1032  Rochester Falcons / Rochester Falcon Offspring / Re: Quest and Kendal - Toronto/Don Mills on: 21-Jun-11, 02:58:52 PM
I just texted Kathy O-- Harlie is a girl!
1033  Rochester Falcons / Rochester Falcon Offspring / Re: Quest and Kendal - Toronto/Don Mills on: 21-Jun-11, 02:40:40 PM
Quest keeps looking up towards the roof. I bet she is watching to see if anyone is coming back to get Harlie again! LOL

They are probably getting ready to take the swing stage down. Going to be a while.

I think she realizes this is how the "intruders" got her baby!  She keeps looking!
1034  Rochester Falcons / Rochester Falcon Offspring / Re: Quest and Kendal - Toronto/Don Mills on: 21-Jun-11, 02:27:48 PM
I'm glad they put Harlie back in the nestbox.  Our falcon flakes need to let us know info!
1035  Rochester Falcons / Rochester Falcon Offspring / Re: Quest and Kendal - Toronto/Don Mills on: 21-Jun-11, 02:20:05 PM
Harlie is back in the nestbox
