Me too...don't you love all this high-tech stuff!?  Nail polish vs glue, actually neither was used here for the harness, and this year none of the birds were outfitted with a transmitter.

Yeah...that is great news!!  Did you get the band info on them or color bands?  Oh, and were they named?  So many questions!  We are thinking of going up to Buffalo soon and will definitely check them out!!

Thanks for the updates

There is a wild rabbit in my neighborhood who comes close to me when I go out and feed the critters.  S/he has been around my yard for the past three years; I can recognize him/her by a little mark on the face.  Also, this is the only rabbit who does not hop at a high speed for the next county!  He is fondly known as Buns the Bunny

Feed me too 

Looks like an adult just came in to feed rained dampened girls 

Hopefully it does not fall off until we know where she has settled!  The transmitters used here often fall off sometime during the third year, but it depends on the harness used.

That is so discouraging!  Are there lots of fledge watchers around to help if needed, I hope?

Elimac...Thank you for posting updates on the little one!  I love the pics of her! 

Oh, yea, mom looks real mad!!  Great pics of her, though.

Gosh, I guess I just assumed China would extend their stay...hope they do!  One of the times I went to see Tai Shen we watchers all agreed that he was born here, so he should be allowed to stay.  After the earthquake in China so devastated the preserve, I figured he would definitely go. 

Thanks for all the updates!

Yeah!!!  Glad to hear she okay and returned!!  Thank you for the quick update.

Argh...that would be terrible if they decided to move the nest box as a result of what happened!!  It certainly seems as though BB felt threatened somehow. Peregrines have been endangered for so long that I am not certain there is much viable research on the issue.  All the efforts have been to help the species to survive.

Oh, wait they really like fruitcicles too!!  Seriously, though I was sooo bummed that the National Zoo Pandas will have no baby again this year    I hope Atlanta has success!!

Thanks for the update!  While in Syracuse this past weekend we were all talking about the status of blue.   Do they know why his feather development is delayed, or is that relatively common?

Thanks for the updates on the Buffalo Peregrines!  Amazing how protective the adults can be when they perceive their young may be at risk.  I hope everyone settles down there. 

Too bad about the young Statler fledgling...hope s/he will be okay!  That area is so difficult for them!!  And the building is boarded up!?  Yikes, the little ones need those ledges to fly to when they land on the ground!  And I agree...I thought the DEC has jurisdiction when it comes to the NYS endangered peregrines?  How frustrating for you folks and the falcons!

Keep us posted!
