Just wanted to express to everyone how you touched my heart today with all of your kind words. It was a sad day for all of Beauty and Archers' followers around the world. To be fair, I know any one of the Rochester falcon watchers would have treated their egg in the same manner and they are just as saddened by this chain of events. We don't know what the future holds but one thing you can be sure of is that myself and all the watchers will continue to observe and report our experiences with our Rochester Peregrine Falcons.

 

 

Not a nice thing to wake up to, heart-breaking.
(movie) Beauty puts the egg out

Correction: Someone on Ustream said that when Beauty got up to stretch, the egg was stuck to her chest and it fell out of the nest. Maybe it had a crack and was leaking. Not sure what really happened but the last egg is out. 

It looked like the last egg kinda folded over.  

I got on to check cams before I headed out for my watch and I saw Beauty get up with the egg stuck to her chest and it just fell out onto the deck. She then went out and checked it out and left. Archer came in checked it out and then went into the nestbox and started incubating like there was still an egg there!!  Oh I can't go on a watch now.this is too much

  Lucky indeed and very cute!!! 

As a cat lover, I thank you jeanne. That was just adorable.

You don't have to be a cat lover to find this video absolutely adorable! 

[The Fledge!]

5/27/2011: The Fledge!
The little male ran the length of the ledge and took flight at 9:15 AM. He landed on nearby building. Within 15 minutes he was on top of the Rachel Carson State Office Building, his home building. Soon after, he returned to the nest ledge where he was rewarded with a meal. This fledgling now holds the record for earliest fledge and quickest return to the ledge. Watch and rescue crews will continue to track his whereabouts and ensure that if he gets into trouble they can respond and keep him out of harms way.

He's still white! OMG....what a daredevil! 

Just amazing! 

 

(movie) an hour with Beauty

Clearly the Beautyful one is frustrated. This really is hard to watch but that's what we're all about...watching! 

 

Salute! 

I'm feeling bad. I know not to anthropomophize, and I won't here, but I do so wish things had turned out differently. Larry O

One egg left. 

 

 

  Great job Carol!
