That is sad news.  Frank is a good friend to the Rochester Falcons.  After Callidora and Jemison hatched, he invited everyone to his shop for a beautiful cake he had made for that special day.  I'll miss him.   

How nice of him. Sounds like a cool guy!

Who's up there?

I'm melting!

maybe not!

Looks like Harmon has fledged - not in the nest any longer.

They said he branched this morning. Good luck little guy!

That is very sad, poor baby! Darn electric poles!

2nd feeding of the morning

Oh my word!! That's one big baby to foster! Amazing, thanks!

Ain't it just! Do "we" have cuckoos in the NE United States? I know nothing about them. OH! Must find that BTO link re their tracked cuckoos... fascinating.

I'm sure there are somewhere Bobbie but I'm a little "Cuckoo" in that dept! 

"Hi dad, look at me?"

leftover prey on base of main cam

Beauty's tactics worked! She cached some food on the base of the main cam last night and went to get it early to feed jr/jr-ette.

prey gone

an early feeding, she's not taking any chances like yesterday when baby was 1st fed after 11am. Smart momma.

Baby poohed her tail also!

enough to fill the crop

 

Tranny boy! Good luck little guy!

I just realised that the Loch of Lowes chick - a boy! - was ringed and satellite tagged yesterday! (One of the dates says 2 June, but it is actually 2 July.) Good info here re ringing (banding) and tagging.

It's a boy!! Thanks Bobbie!

beat me to it Donna was gonna say its Baby pooh 

They just squirt! Who cares what's in the way, (or whom)!  Jemi and Cali gave her Summer streaks on her head! 

Nancy, she's been POOHED on from, (you know who)! More than once. Her foot is fine.
