They?re getting so big and look at those feathers coming in!

  another season is about to start!  Poignant to see Beauty on the Kodak tower — memories of tge past!

Sad news — wish they didn’t face so many perils.

  yea!!!!!

How sad to lose Donna so early.  It never gets easier.  Fly free little girl😢

Brings tears to my eyes to see another banding!  Wonderful names.  I know they will carry on the traditions of their predecessors and be beautiful, curious, and adventuresome!  Good luck and safe flying!

These are great!

Miss you too!  Met up with LowCountry Raptors in our area and donated a lot of hoods my father made.  It was a nice feeling.  Also went to a hawk conservancy in England this summer and got to fly a harris hawk to the glove — great fun!  Not sure how to best keep up with everyone but will try!

Thank you!

I’ve been away too long.  So sorry about Seth and even more so about Donna.  Shaky wrote a beautiful tribute.  I miss the days of the Kodak board and the yahoo falcon cam group — seems we were all closer then.  But shaky and carol p and so many others have done a magnificent job of keeping us up to date on our wonderful Rochester falcons.  I look at my wonderful pictures of Mariah and her offspring that hang in my hallway every day and am grateful for these memories.

Yes, been here since at least 2000.  Still follow when I can.  Doing fine, Carol — love your reports and happy to see the falcon tradition continues!

I miss the days of being there!

40 mph????  What planet are these people from?

Way to go, Beauty and Dot.ca -- love seeing the fluffballs get bigger every day!

Woo hoo!  Way to go Beauty!  Let the watch begin!

LLAP!!
