News about her. She is now in her territory at the nord of Canada(From Chile to Baffin) after a big trip of more than 14, 300 km(8 910 m) in 6 weeks. What a great traveller!!!

She certainly is!!!   

Did someone say cute?



Why yes I am, thankyouverymuch

                                    

     She reminds me of Beauty.  

Mei Huan and Mei Lun turn one today!  Here's a video of the birthday festivities!

2014-07-15 Mei Lun & Mei Huan's 1st Birthday: Cakes & Keepers

So maybe we need to move the Oshawa posts to an offspring page...maybe Rochester Grand-eyases...

Anyway...Oshawa is East of Toronto proper near Whitby & Pickering, which were 2 of Quest's haunts during her Grand Tour. I think Linn was seen in Whitby too before settling in Scarborough.

Anyway...Pictures by Tracy Simpson of Alfreda...

   

 

...and Simcoe

 

And I need to dig...I have the spelling as Alfreda, not Alfrieda...Joyce, do you know which is correct?

Going back to banding pics from 2012 on Peregrine Place, it looks like Alfreda..named after Alfred Fellheimer, one of the architects of Central Terminal building.

We bow again to Madame X and Surge    Another new nest site - another Hamilton offspring 

ou know - it's interesting that they didn't offspring here this year and yet one after the other lately we're finding their previous offspring nesting. 

Here is the latest one - another new nest site!

!! New Beachville nest in southern Ontario has a locally produced male named Joe from Hamilton Ontario as one of the residents on site!

Sunday July 13th - 2014
A big thank you to Lucie and Richard Kirchknoph who ventured down to Beachville Ontario this weekend to investigate a report of nesting peregrines.
Their efforts paid off as they were able to identify the resident adult male via his leg band number and identify that the resident adult female is also banded with a solid Black leg band, telling us that they are both Canadian produced peregrines. Reports of the peregrines having produced offspring this year have been coming in this past week and we have some some good news to report thanks to Lucie and Richard.

Hi Guys
Good investigation guys!!
The Pefa that you reported having a solid black band number turns up in our banding data base as:

A peregrine named “Joe� that was produced at the Hamilton Sheraton Hotel in 2010
He was a very small underweight male – weighing in at only 492 grams at banding, banded at 23 days old, on May 31st – 2010  His mother is Madame X as she has been called and his father is named Surge.

Surge was produced at the Etobicoke nest site (Bloor & Islington) in 2002
Madame X was produced at a nest site in Wilkes-Barre in the USA in 1999 and was nick-named – “Runaround Sue� due to her promiscuous background / history that was reported to us way back in 2000.

             

Fantastic pics, Bonnie!  It was good to see you again!  Thanks for posting!

Thanks for the video, NCA! 

Isn't the baby the cutest  .  They're banding him/her on Saturday morning!

And the caption is... "My parents are cousins. I hope they don't name me Cletus or Brandine."

             

Never expected to actually see Quest at home!

           

The ranking is suspicious at best. But since I visit Rochester once a year maybe it should be 7th.

I visit Rochester more often than NYC...

       

It is sad but if it can be trained as an educational ambassador, it's in a wonderful place!

I was heartbroken when I read that on fb. All 3 had a rough start with gnats Bob said. One had to be rescued 3 times. Just a bad year for Decorah. 

June 22nd, they rescued one that was in a stream with a broken wing. It has had surgery and is recuperating at SOAR.

Sad news today:

7-8-14 ~ We are Heartbroken to Announce the Electrocution of our Male Juvenile Decorah Eaglet (EWOT / believed to be D18)
Bob Anderson has released this statement:
"This morning the one young 2014 male eagle was seen soaring high over the bluff near Decorah compost site. We were all impressed by his flying skill. We believe that the young eagle was on his way back to the compost site when he attempted to land on the power pole about 1/2 mile from the compost site. This was a high transmission power pole and the eaglet suffered burns on its wing (wrist) and singed feathers on his feet. The electricity either entered through its feet and out the wing or vice versa, and his wing was nearly severed.We are all very saddened as his flying prowess led us to believe that we would have a long lived male eagle to compliment the data from our famous D1".

You may recall the Decorah eagles D12 and D14 were both electrocuted in 2012, and while many of the power poles around the nest and hatchery were retrofitted, not all poles in Decorah were, and this pole was quite a distance from the nest tree.

Fly free, D18.
