Oh my! He SOOOO looks like Kaver with Mariah's cere!

Thank you Sage!

Yup, he's  for sure.

I especially liked the ones of Beauty taking off from Mercury! 

Wasn't it landing on Merc, unless she flew backwards! Hmm

Re-watch the video clip...it was takeoff...amazing!

I did and I still say she is landing, unless Beauty has learned to fly backwards!

By Rochester Falcon Watcher Joyce (wnyfalconfan)
This past weekend, Steve took me for a brief falconwatch to the Brighton site (BS) and downtown. It must have been "gimper's" luck because I got to see all three peregrines.
Here are slideshows of each of our falcons seen on Saturday, Jan 12th, plus a bonus album of the Eastern...

Yes, even Hawaii and Florida.  5 feet in one state!   

These vultures, up to 250 a night, have taken over this southeast portion of Leesburg – stripping bark off trees, eating rubber off roofs, cars, hot tub, pool and boat covers and destroying grills. Lawn furniture tends to be a favorite treat as well. And their excrement is acidic – enough to eat the paint off cars.

The birds were readily identified by the bands on their legs. The male, named Gelato, was hatched June 29, 2011. The female, named simply Crane No. 9-10, hatched May 16, 2010.

  Photographers captured an adult eagle with white spots near Bellingham, Washington, on January 6.

"It was chaotic, with eagles flying and calling everywhere, then in came this eagle. It didn't take me long to figure out what we saw was something very special," Walter told National Geographic News by email.

Lily's delivery of 2 cubs, 20 minutes apart.  

Thank goodness the Lily Den Cam was up and running when Lily rolled onto her back just before 1:00 AM and pushed in full view.  Lying on her back differed from her previous births and from what we expected.  The first cub was soon delivered and a second followed 20 minutes later.  The cubs’ little motors were soon humming along in unison—or rather ‘squeaking’ along in unison.   Their voices are getting stronger and stronger as the hours go by and we are now hearing the more familiar hum.  Lily has been hunkered down over them, warming them with her breath.  The temperature has dropped from above freezing (with rain) at the time of the birth to only 9 degrees

Looking mean - quick 10 second hop & go 9am this morning in the rain, Bobbin was chasing a flock of pigeons. — Bobbin 12.01.13
