Oh, you're just asking for it.

Viking Kittens

We confirmed again that the male has a black band, and interestingly on his right foot. Thats bass ackwards,so that narrows considerably the possibilities and has us leaning one direction.

What color band is on his left leg?

Up until 2004, Mike Allen was putting black USFWS bands on falcons' right legs and black/red bands on the left legs. In 2004 he switched to the familiar silver USFWS bands.

So if the male has a black band on the right leg and a black/red band on the left, it could be a pre-2004 falcon from NY.

Crows and falcons already coexist in city

The writer of Saturday's letter suggesting the use of falcons to rid Rochester of its crows seems to be unaware of two points. First, the crows gather in Rochester as darkness falls and leave early in the morning, whereas falcons hunt during daylight hours. Second, we already have falcon presence in Rochester. At least one peregrine falcon, Beauty, is seen downtown on a daily basis, often pausing on or around the Mercury statue a couple of blocks from where the crows gather. Her appearances are reported on Facebook (Rfalconcam) and at rfalconcam.com.

About the crows downtown; I was wondering if owl decoys in select trees would be
enough to deter those crows? Had thought about putting one in our garden to
keep rabbits from eating some choice veggies. We've had bunnies scampering
around in quite a few neighbors' yards (city). We've seen them very recently
because of the more moderate weather. They've been running across the street
back & forth. We've tried kinds of kinder/gentler methods to keep them away.
I didn't want the other birds, robins, cardinals, jays, finches, etc. to stay
away if I had an owl statue. Are peregrines bothered by owls? Christiane

Wow! That's much bigger than your typical snowflake. It's even bigger than your typical falcon flake!

Wait!  May not be Sabrina/valiant

Details, please.

Some have seen my post on FB... but I had to share here. The Irish REALLY want jobs, you know!

You wouldn't believe the number of people here that go out in their jammie pants. Like you can't tell!!!

Let's draft them into the Bathrobe Brigade.

From Christiane on Kfalconcam:

So sorry to hear about Valiant--does anyone know if he had fathered any young at
the Ogdensburg site; didn't know if anyone was following that location. What a
loss this week. Fly high Valiant and Callidora. Christiane

Your 2,500th post? Congratulations!

OK - who knows what THIS is?!
