Great story but wonder where their nest site is located at Iroquois.  We've been over several times this year to the Cayuga site watching the Eagle family there so I know it's not them. I know they did have a couple other pairs nesting there.

(Was just thinking, where the heck is Jim P?) Did he move?

Oh, he's around.  Not to worry.  Was in contact with him today.  

What happened to "Peregrinations", Jim P.'s website?  I've tried to access it several times but nothing comes up.  Just wondering...

Use the link at the bottom of any Rfalconcam page.

Thanks-I never saw that down there and that link finally works! I did searches and even went to Jim's info page on the Forum and that link didn't work!

This is the time, like last year with Jemison, that I get nervous with them getting overconfident.  Hope the soft hits have taught her a lesson that she remembers.

Incubating at KP?  Is it verified that there are eggs?!  That would be awesome!

They've verified with workers at KP that there are 2 eggs being incubated. Are they viable is the big question, especially this late in the season.

Thanks, Ann, for the beautiful pics of Harlie!  She is gorgeous!

He is on vacation in Hawaii.

Nice!  We had a fantastic vacation on 3 of the Hawaiian islands a few years ago!  Beautiful!

Oh these are fabulous! 

They sure are!  Harlie is beautiful!   

What a sad strange year.

I guess what saddens and disappoints me the most, besides no babies for B & A this year, is Archer being with Unity.  It is what it is.   

Fly free, little one

And bless your heart, Marion, for staying with this little one so she could be surrounded by loving care to the end

I'm also glad that she was surrounded by caring people at the end.  A very tough decision but definitely the right one.  Fly free, Lady Gaga. 

Of course Quest is a great parent-she learned from the best! 

Eee! I watched Harlequin fly past my window and land at the very top of "her" building. She looks like a pro! No landing problem at all! Now she's just flown to the top of the Harlequin building.

So amazing and I'm so delighted she seems to be a fast learner!

She looks beautiful.

    

Harlie on cam now!!! She's so BIG!!

You are what you eat?

 

!!! Banding Success - Two healthy female hatchlings & the Resident adult identified via leg band!
July 08, 2011 - Niagara Falls
Mark Nash Reports:
A huge success today with two healthy hatchlings banded, a new nest tray installed with lots of nest substrate, hatchlings moved from the window ledge to the new nest (old nest cavity), and both parents attending the chicks!!

A big thank you to ALL involved today, as Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Ontario Power Generation, Canadian Peregrine Foundation, Niagara Parks Commission Police staff, and with John Millar and support rock climbers assembled at 9am this morning at the old Ontario Power Generation station down in the Niagara Gorge, we were all poised for a full day of activities and jobs to complete.

Like a well choreographed play and a solid game plan, 11 people organized and set into motion the days activities. Rock climbers setting up lines and ropes, banding table and banding equipment was being set up, safety instructions delivered and reviewed, over all game plan reviewed, nest tray fabrication underway and 210 pounds of pea-gravel being mixed and poured into the buckets, the days events were all completed with a overwhelming sense of accomplishment.

With the rock climbers down over the wall into the gorge, the two very healthy and very feisty hatchlings were extracted from the window ledge on the side of the OPG station wall, raised in the carrier to the upper roof elevation and were weighed, sexed and banded successfully by Anne Yagi and support staff of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.

Both hatchlings were identified as females, and they were named Lady Millar and Lady Phinney, and were examined and deemed healthy and cleared to be returned back to their parents and the new nest cavity.

While the hatchlings were being banded, the rock climbers re-positioned themselves to the old nest cavity to await the nest tray and pea-gravel substrate that would be lowered back down to them.

Measurements of the nest cavity were relayed back to the Mark Nash of the CPF via two way radio communications so that a nest tray could be prefabricated and assembled, then lowered via rope back to the climber down the wall face where they were holding their position awaiting to install it.

MNR support staff were preparing the buckets of pea-gravel and OPG staff were providing the necessary distractions to keep the resident adult peregrines away from banding team and the climbers.

By the end of day, and without incident, and thanks to the incredible efforts by all on both sides of the border, a new nest tray and nest substrate had been installed, the two hatchlings had been sexed, banded, examined, named, and returned to the new nest cavity, the banded resident adult has been identify. By Saturday morning, both resident adults were attending and feeding both of their offspring in the new nest.

A huge thank you to the Rochester group - (now nick-named the RFW,, - (the Regional Falcon watchers) who travelled from Rochester New York to Niagara Falls, Buffalo New York to provide the valuable observations from the Niagara Falls New York side of the falls,,,, that were able to visually confirm that both parents were in attendance and were already involved in feeding the hatchlings in the new nest cavity.

Another huge thank you to the Buffalo New York Department of Conservation - (NYDEC) staff, and to both Jackie and Connie of the DEC for providing all of the critical information and logistics on the birds activities, and to John for all of his photographic work that both confirmed the nesting activities of the peregrines and pinpointed the original nest site.

A great collaboration and incredible support by all those involved that has made this day such an incredible success!!

An outstanding group of people!!!!

     Thanks for report, Carly!!
