Miss seeing you all, and I really miss all the action that used to take place between KT and the gorge   Can you send Orion down the river just a little bit?  Sue (Bess)

Was just talking about that on Chat, how MK's kids liked the river to splash in and fly through the mist from the falls. 

Looks like DC has done well again. Beauty left to retrieve the package.



wasn't a very big meal but enough to quiet Orion for a while. 

And the hits keep coming! Awesome, thanks Carly!!!!

Anything going on out there?

Rochester, N.Y. —

The Rochester Falconcam announced the banding of a young Peregrine Falcon by biologists from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).

The young falcon, eyas, is 22 days old and is located in a nest box on top of the Time-Square Building in downtown Rochester. The young falcon’s mother, Beauty, is from Pittsburg and the father, Dot.ca, is from Canada.
Rochester Falconcam and DEC bands a Peregrine Falcon

This morning, DEC biologist removed the young bird for a short time while certain measurements were made, and the leg measurement indicated this eyas is a male. His health inspection showed a clear mouth, eyes and throat. Numbered metal bands were placed on both legs so the bird can be recognized and tracked in the future.

The numbered metal bands placed around the young falcons legs will allow the DEC and other organizations to track it in the future.

Peregrine Falcons are a New York State Endangered species. DEC is working with the Peregrine Fund to restore the Peregrine Falcon population.
