Magnificent!

Good point, Patti!  Dan S always carries peanuts and the chickadees love them!

Beauty and/or Unity need to take some training from Quest

I think she is still there

I have two birthdays on Saturday afternoon and three on Sunday (not sure what time) but can probably do a meet up!  Wild Wings might be a possibility but I can drive myself!

Borrow a camera?????

One time they borrowed one of our camera's to confirm eggs in the nest, but it was the same week some of the watchers were granted a visit to KP anyway...and Lou posted the album for that.

Now we can see a falcon sitting in the scrape, and before we couldn't see one when it was farther back.

Carol mentioned a 3rd clutch?  I never thought of that. Boy this is all new to me.  If there is a hatch, these babies will be picking off colored leaves from the trees.

I thought it was funny that folks from Kodak wouldn't have a camera.  These falcons are just amazing this year!

I'm glad they followed up with you by email Carol, as I didn't get a chance to post this before I was off to Buffalo the next day.  The workers also offered to take pictures for us if they can borrow a camera.

Fly free, little one

And bless your heart, Marion, for staying with this little one so she could be surrounded by loving care to the end

Uhhhh... Kat? See? Just takes one sip and you are addicted! (But you are working, right? Just like the rest of us??)

Ha ha. Well...the work is moving across my desk a little bit slower than usual, but I am part of the official fledge watch, which is currently part of my job description. At least...I think it is.

So happy for you, Kat!!!  And if your boss has a scope in her office, chances are she is watching too!!!  SO grateful for and to all of you for watching this precious family!!!

Poor little one!!!! 

Wow!  Wonderful reports!!!!  Quest and Kendal are amazing!  Whew!!! 

I wonder if the 2 eggs MAK posted in her June 17th FalconWatch report are the one's she is sitting on now?

After MAK alerted us of eggs at the scrape, I checked my pics and found 2 eggs in a photo on Sunday June 12th, 5 days before.  Old or new eggs?


Here are some pics of today's watch at 3:16 pm:
     

On my way home I check to see if Beauty is on Xerox.  Sometimes it is so dark, that I have to use my camera to tell.  This was taken at 9:27pm:

Well, we all saw the two eggs sitting up front back in June, but they either were disposed of or pushed back further where they are now being incubated.  These two eggs were not cracked, so they were at least a 2nd clutch.  Now the question is, are they the eggs being incubated?  Or is there a 3rd clutch of eggs?

Guess we'll never know and all we can do is wait and see.

All the Rochester Watchers are keeping an eye on them and will let you know if anything changes.

Personally, I  think all of you ROC Watchers know more than you let  on to us "couch perchers".    ( I say that with reverence!)
You are all so knowledgeable about our falcons, so I think this clutch is going to hatch, and that the Falcon Flakes will revel in the new birth in the snow!   

lol Margaret!    We (the Rochester Falcon Watchers) have absolutely no idea what's going on at KP.  It's all new to us and we're as baffled as everyone else.  Wish we were able to give some answers, but we truly don't have any.

All we can do is report what we see.   

I think the rochester falcons are so used to seeing the watchers in all kinds of weather and through all 4 seasons that they have conspired to give the watchers something exciting to see -- in addition to the snow flakes.  Falcon flakes (watchers) vs. snow flakes!

I don't have snagit but I recorder this from my iphone!! A and B at nest. 7:21am. It's a little raw but you get the idea! Main cam flashed a few times plus there was a commercial going on at the other cams.

Donna -- very cool!!!  Thank you!!

NO word on Harlequin!!! There has to be a better way to communicate. She could be in Nantucket right now!! 

I know, Donna, I was thinking the same thing.  I know there are volunteers watching but no posts or anything
