Hey Jeanne, we just had some 1/4" hail here in Ithaca...the ground looked like a light snowfall!  Hope it is not too bad in Rochester!

So, who is Yarak?  I figured it was actually Karay spelled backwards, but then who is Karay?
Suzanne

Thanks Aafke...and I checked so many times today and no falcon!

Suzanne

Hey Bonnie...love your video and music...thank you 
Suzanne

I couldn't view the video either.  Bonnie, let us know when you put the pics on the Kodak site 
Suzanne

Dawn, thanks for posting that, it was great 

Ginha, not only are your pics wonderful, I love your captions!!   
Suzanne

Glad to hear everyone made it home safely!  It was great to see everyone, and what a welcome the falcons provided the group!   The trip to the Planatarium was somewhat of a challenge, but the falcons made up for by performing a food exchange, a stoop on a duck, and some nice flying around above us. 

BTW, we also had an uneventful trip back to Ithaca last night.  We were welcomed home by all the critters...the cat, crows, fish, rabbits, and the remaining crew, all of whom demanded to be fed

Dawn, great pics of the gathering!!

The big raindrop looked like an egg...maybe.

Uhoh...looks like someone is sliding down the concrete clock 

Nice pics and story Sage!

Suzanne

How awesome!  I am so happy the chicks have fledged.  Thank you posting the link to the story

Don and I will be there!
Suzanne

Thanks Donna!  Glad to hear one of your crows was daring enough to grab a kibble

I should mention that we tried for quite a while to duplicate the experiment in the video!  I tried peanuts, but the squirrels or chipmunks grabbed it all.  One squirrel even climbed into the box to get the peanuts.   After trying all sorts of crow-treats, finally tried hot dogs and chicken...yes, I bought chicken, cooked it and cut it up for placement on the machine.  I was under pressure to get the darn thing to work...so much for being scientific about it!

   

Thanks for posting the frames of A and B visiting the nestbox.  I had missed it, was bummed, now I am quite happy
