Poor lil sweet baby. 

 

I was in Myrtle Beach last week at an RV Rally and at one of the dinners where there were maybe 500 people I sit at a table with 8 other strangers and start up a convo with the gentleman and his wife sitting across from me as Im waiting for our table to be called for our meal and guess what?? I ask the husband where their from and he says Ill. but he also lived in Rochester NY for years. So I say Rochester? Really? Well I was a huge fan of the Falcons there Kaver and Mariah who nested on Kodaks building !! You had to know them right? Oh yeah he did. He Said he went by the name WildBill on Kodaks board. He knew all about our little family  We were reminiscing for quite a while  It was so nice to meet someone who knew the falcons like I did  I seem to remember his face for some reason Maybe a picture here?. He said he worked at the Brewery.
Wow is it a small world ! Very nice couple.  Can you imagine out of hundreds of people lol

 

I hate even seeing or hearing the word Malta because it's always about the moron hunters there shooting whatever they feel like. Most of the time I won't even read the stuff-the world has gone mad! 

Very sad, but hey maybe those people who put the box up will just put up another box next season! Just to stick it to the condo board!

I like how you think Patricia! 

Shame on the people on that condo board and shame on the person from the DEC who made that decision!  Are they idiots?  It won't harm the "baby birds" because they have "flown the coop?"  What about next year's "baby birds?"  And the year after that, and after that, etc.?

There probably won't be babies without the nest box. Stupid is as stupid does!

Malta is totally out of control.

A new update on the little juvie. It's dated September 16, but did not show up on the site until today.

September 16, 2014

During the week of September 8, Peregrine Falcon #14-1319 finished the course of antibiotics for her eye injury. Blood work was drawn on September 11; the veterinary staff found that the falcon’s white blood cell count was low. Additional blood work was scheduled for Monday, September 15 to determine if any treatment was needed.

Results from the follow-up blood work revealed a higher white blood cell count, and the Peregrine Falcon’s eye was fully healed. The veterinarians gave clearance for education training to resume.

Director of outreach Amanda Nicholson began working with the falcon again on Monday afternoon. Amanda sat in her office with the falcon on the glove. This time, the falcon was more calm – while the bird will need to build trust and learn a lot in the coming weeks, the Peregrine Falcon surprised Amanda by readily eating food off of the glove!

During the next few weeks, the Peregrine Falcon will live inside and will spend her days with Amanda and outreach coordinator Raina. The bird will be on the glove during the day, and will live in a crate in the outreach room at night. As the Peregrine Falcon advances in training, the bird will be introduced to an outdoor enclosure. Amanda and Raina hope to train the falcon to make short flights to the glove for food, which will make it easier to retrieve the bird from the outdoor enclosure.

I know she is in a really good place, and she will be well cared for, but it still must be very difficult for her.

I agree!

This should say Morning Watch 9-19-14. Must have been a Word Press glitch. 

Saw this a couple times before and it still makes me smile and tear up at the same time.   

Looks like the same Peregrine I saw this morning with the only difference being the crop was empty when I saw it. I have one pic that looks like yellow on the right leg band. 

First of all, why would they even go up to retrieve the egg during nesting?? They wonder why Swift was off the eggs for 25 minutes!! Don't they understand, it's not a good idea to go up there at all??? 

The eggs are probably ok uncovered for 25 minutes depending on the air temperature at the nest sight. People just don't think sometimes! 

I voted for Lady's Tree!
