June Summer's has been in contact with the rehabber that is currently caring for Beauty and the DEC today.  
Beauty is in stable condition and the Vet here in Rochester is conferring with the DEC's Falcon expert in Albany.  So, she is getting very good care.
At this time, we do not have any...

This is awesome news that Beauty is still with us after the weekend and in stable condition.  Come on Beauty.  You are a strong Falcon.  Heal quickly.   

Absolutely Carol. All I do is pray!

Beautiful bird, never saw one. My time....no time..I cheat!!  Thanks Aafke

Brian reports: Female pefa was under SE wing TS building. She took off, can't find her. I'm warming up at library. She will go 2 box soon. Keep watching. 3:38pm

Checked the cams, didn't see any activity. Oh boy, she's getting closer. 

Absolutely true Carly.  The birds are driven to reproduce and will seek out the best site and the best mate with the best of everything.  They'll fight to get it and fight to keep it as the biological drive to have young is undeniable.  The best equals success, so to speak.  It sure doesn't make me feel any better when they get into it, knowing that they essentially can't deny themselves as they are so driven to reproduce.   

The best mate!! That excludes Archer, (even though I love him) 

Do other raptors fight to the death like peregrines?  This has been bothering me for quite some time now. Most of the back yard birds I'm familiar with usually settle their battles before any serious injury occurs. How will the peregrine population ever increase if one simply replaces another through serious injury or death? Perhaps this is happening because of so many nests in cities?? Sometimes it almost seems as if peregrines are determined to keep their population low. It's extremely frustrating to watch. I sure hope someone can post some good information on this subject for me to read.

Good questions Dot and hope we get some good answers. The Canadian falcons seem to get along, know their boundaries. Unity went way off her boundary. Maybe some are more aggressive? I can't imagine the pigeon supply dropping at Kodak Park, so what made her come to Beauty's territory?

Thanks Kris G

I was a part of a proud and ever vigilant USAF crew (commonly known as "scope dopes") that monitored radar screens watching for the Soviet missile onslaught that never came.  At Thule, we were truly warriors in the "cold" war.  And we played a lot of pinochle!   

Wow, thank God no missiles and yay for the USAF. Thank you and Bless you all who served. Gee, I haven't played Pinochle since I was a kid. Big in the day!.

 Thanks for the info and "Crow" theory Paul.  LOL  What exactly did you do there?

HUNTSVILLE, AL (WRCB) -- The nine whooping cranes led by ultralight aircraft have been released from a holding pen at Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge after Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership biologists attached marking bands and transmitters to help track their movements.

A couple weeks ago I saw a Canada Goose with a yellow neck collar in Flemington, NJ.  I submitted the sighting to the bird banding lab, and today I got this great note about the bird I saw:

GC6 was indeed a goose that we banded in Greenland, part of a project to mark Greenland White-fronted and Canada Geese in west Greenland in the summers of 2008 and 2009, and your observations are of great interest because as you will see, this individual was reported from Connecticut last winter, but to date we have had no reports of its whereabouts this winter, nor have we had any news from the breeding areas in subsequent years, so we are delighted with your resighting!
The goose was first captured and banded on a lake simply known as Lake C to the catching team (very few lakes in this area have Greenlandic names) which is at 67°06’26.6"N 50°28’38.4"N in an area known as Isunngua, immediately north of the airport at Kangerlussuaq in west Greenland. This has been a study area for our investigations on and off over many years. On that occasion, it was banded with a yellow collar, a yellow tarsus band bearing the same engraved comnbination and a metal Copenhagen Zoological Museum leg band. It was an adult male captured on 15 July 2007, part of a catch of 10 adults and 23 juveniles.
Very cool!  So keep your eyes out for geese with colored bands around their necks, and if you see one, try to see the letters or numbers on the band and report them to the banding lab!  There's sure to be a cool story behind that bird!

I had initially thought that Unity was the falcon you had taken pictures of
earlier, but the band color was said to be red and even after Maximizing the pic
I thought it was more on the purplish side than red, that just, maybe it was
Unity. Was the male seen flying around with the female the other day banded?
Maybe our Mr. T if unbanded? Could Archer be back if banded? The possibilities
just seem to get more interesting. . . If Beauty did heal well would she be set
free outside of Rochester like Mariah? It almost seems like it would be better
if she had another chance elsewhere, as much as we'd all miss her at her
favorite roosts. . . So much to ponder. . .

I think no matter where they released her, she would come home just like Mariah did. I almost wish she wasn't releasable. I can't bear another battle!    Sorry!
