[Hope to hear from you soon!]

Hope to hear from you soon! 

I can't handle anymore deaths, first Indy, the male hawk in NY that was poisoned, momma Hawk at the Institute with something wrapped around her leg....eyases died in Nijmegen....and what others. Bad year so far.  .

He is beyond late!

Has Beauty been in the NB since last night?

He was in late yesterday evening-7 something to 8:30-ish.  He'll be there when he gets there. 

Your right Ei, sorry, I missed that. Yeah, he's probably just out and about.

He is beyond late!

Has Beauty been in the NB since last night?

I believe so Margaret. I checked the cams, she was in since late yesterday afternoon.

He is beyond late!

Archer is 2 hours late.

The first "Name That Prey" of the season!

First thought was goldfinch, but it's too gold to my eyes

Maybe an Oriole?

[Good luck with your new job and have a great day!]

Good luck with your new job and have a great day!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL4tI7lprRA&feature=player_embedded#at=37 Found this video on one of the forums. Not bad for 1 foot. I just haven't seen him lately but I'm not watching 24/7, so he must relieve her sometimes.

Something is wrong at the Indy nest. 1 baby died on May 3 and the other does not look well. He's hanging in there but has some sort of red rash all over him. Something bacterial maybe. OMG this is so sad.

And the poor duck!  Oh well, such is life, well in this case...NOT! It is a great pic.

[I DO NOT like battles!]

I DO NOT like battles! Hopefully that boy got away with just a "What the heck just happened?"

The battle between Archer and the 3rd Falcon was very high up.  Impossible to see bands.  I do believe it was an adult and that it was very close in size to Archer, a Tiercel.

auntiewood (grannywood): KP falcon rpt- both falcons headed out after a 3rd adult falcon.  Still waiting for return.

Any idea about the third adult falcon?  Bands seen?  Could it be the Char Bay falcon?

Margaret - Joyce and I got some pics of Unity in the same spot she went to today, but it was pouring rain and the lighting was horrible.  Even so, Joyce's pics that day showed the bands and we thought it was Unity back then, but we couldn't be 100% sure.

Today MAK & Joyce got pics of Unity on a bright, sunny, Mothers Day, afternoon.  So now we know for sure.  Welcome Unity from Toledo, OH!   

Good job Joyce & MAK!   

wnyfalconfan (Joyce): Joyce and MAK just finished quick view of pictures. Both of us confirmed Lady Pefa is 71/H "Unity" from Toledo. Pics coming.

At last, Lady Pefa has a name! It's a good name too.  Is the first clear verification of her band?  I seem to recall that watchers -- I think it was Carol -- mentioned that it was probably Unity a few months back. 
Good names; Archer is the "beau" of Beauty and Unity.  Another romance novel on the way?

It's going to feel weird now calling her Unity when we're so used to LP!! I'm sure we'll slip up and say LP.  Thanks to all who gave it their best to ID that girl from that distance. It's FAR!!! Lots of hours logged!
