I love Carol P. talking to the eyas..."I named your Momma!"

Hahahaha!   That was a private conversation between me and Legacy.  

I also showed him the picture of his momma on my T-Shirt as a fledgling.  

That was sweet, Carol!!!  I heard you tell him that you also know his grandma!!!  He has to know the full extent of his legacy

[Dale I'm LMAO at that one and you typed it with such a straight face]

What's with the dude on the left?  

pretty much what I said in the previous post. That's just a stage he's going through.
I guess the head retracts into the body for a while during this part of development, so as to create more pressure to inflate the big feet. It will pass.

Maybe this is what happens before we see poop on Beauty

There is a video of the chicks being collected (and an adult swooping)

I think we have a girl and a boy.  They sure are cute!  Poor Beauty.  I have never seen so much poop on one bird

and just one correction on Linda's post.  We never had to rescue Rhea Mae.  She successfully fledged and went on to be a good mom.   

That's true!  The odd thing is the entry on that site says Dec 31, 1969!

From the Sheraton site--- great name, Ladies!!!!!


Linda Woods Reports:

This past Friday, the three little ones were banded and given names.Rhea Mae and Tiago have three males this year.Detailed information on the occasion will be posted here along with many photos of the newly names chicks and VIP’s in attendance.  The names of the three boys are as follows,

Star- Scribe:  named by The Sheraton Centre Hotel

Lorenzo:  named  by Jan Chudy

Legacy:  named by our good friends and dedicated Falcon Watchers from Rochester, New York. These ladies followed and rescued Rhea Mae when she was just a fledgling.

Today a check on the three boys, I arrived just in time for lunch.

Next, Anne, we have to get you here!!!!!

Please forgive any irreverence anyone may feel...

It's something I've always noticed about peregrines, but particularly about Beauty.  Ever since I first saw her picture-particularly at a distance-well, I've had a childhood flashback (is there a shudder smiley?)

 

OMG!  If you find the shudder smiley, let me know!!!  

 Here ya go jeanne and Ei!!

Thanks, Donna!!!!!  Love it!
