I heard from Kapi. Her house has been severely damaged and contaminated by oil forcing her to move out. She has limited Internet access but was able to post to our FaceBook page.

 

  Bobbin is back!!!! 

  Hey T, it's great to have you aboard finally!!! 

Nice stuff.  Did you notice that the RTH in #13 is banded!  I was at Braddock Bay last week for the RTH Watch and saw a bunch of RTH banded at their banding station.  Cool stuff!

The RTH with the band was one that we followed from pole to pole.  Interesting, neither MAK nor I spotted the band when we were watching.  I don't have any pics cuz I was the crazy lady stopping suddenly on the side of the road. The minute those red-tails see my lens...they take off.  MAK is more subtle...she blends in with the passenger window, or through the sunroof.

The RTH was an adult, so I wonder if this was one of Braddock Bay bandings from a previous year?

  I still say we need a safari truck!!! 

 

They sure do have plenty of falcons in Ontario,Canada! 

Crane has fallen near brewery by the gorge.  This is from the news:


Rochester firefighters, police and other first responders were called to a report of a crane that collapsed in the Genesee River gorge near the brewery on Tuesday afternoon.

There is a report that one person was trapped in the crane. No other details released so far.

Oh, no!  Hope no one was injured.  That's terrible.  

The man that was trapped died.
