Or maybe he brought her some leftovers from the prey he had been eating?

Or maybe she took a little scrap he left behind over on the north side or maybe she didn't have any at all or maybe...

That poor mama-God bless the men who treated her wounds and gave her a chance at living and to continue nursing her calf. 

Hate seeing the word Malta-it's never good news, but this time at least they got one of the bas&$%ds!

The bird was trapped in a slot canyon that, at its base, was only two feet wide.

(They will release him but can he hunt)

Good question...

 

Great detective work, MAK!!!

Thank you Miss Bobbie! 

Thanks Carly, Pat, Kris and Ei-I appreciates it!

Good work being done for these most wonderful creatures! 

Sure is..they saved another one the same day and I think I read 11 total have been saved from poisoning recently.

Yes Kris, I read that too! 

   Thanks for the update Alison!

Good job, MAK!  I thought Joyce said there was a 6 in the number..must have read it upside down.

I think I recall Joyce saying she saw 66 and an A. 

And now I don't feel so bad when I recall that a week ago yesterday, when I saw them almost side by side on the north window ledge, I couldn't see a marked size difference.  Apparently 99/BA is fairly large. correct?

He's smaller than Billie from pics I've gotten of the two of them in close proximity. 

I have 2 more pics that show the B more clearly than the original pic I posted.

Good work MAK.   

Thanks Carly-looks like we'll be naming another falcon here at Seneca Towers! 

I have a pic of the left leg band of Mr. Yellow Tape
He does not have a name as I tracked his identity down-he hails from an undisclosed site near Rochester as the DEC only banded them and didn't give names. I believe he was mistaken for a female.
This is what I found on a list I had saved of known Rochester birds that are still alive

Yellow female   99/BA B/G   yellow   May-13   Rochester, NY

Doesn't look like there's any gravel in that box.
