I love to drive along route 390 south and see all the RTH's along the way! One time I counted 17 of them on my way down to my nephews in Nunda,NY(paradise).   PS Pffft, none on the poles here. I swear I live in a non-hawk or other bird zone. Just the usual, sparrows, finches, Jays, starlings....a Cardinal here and there...but NO HAWKS!! If they are so plentiful..... I shouldn't have to go searching for them. Just sayin!!  Maybe you need to go beyond that 5 minute radius that you travel! Just sayin'!!!  I've gone 7! I-287!  |

 Mr T at nest, no Beauty. A few tweets back, MAK mentioned that it is the male that selects the nestbox. I don't think I was aware of that with the Pefas. I think I knew that based on songbird activity I've seen...it seems Male Cardinals do that, but i did not know that about the falcons. So if Archer returns, there will be a battle if Mr. T has also selected the site? From your reports it seems Mr. T has come a long way from the bird begging Beauty to share, to "flights of fancy" with her. Yes Margaret, Beauty and Mr. T have become more like a pair in the last few weeks. I witnessed Beauty bowing to him on OCSR last week. Hopefully Mr. T will move on before Archers' return but I really don't see that happening. We must remember that this is natures way. |

I was discussing with either Carol or Joyce that since the male picks the nest site maybe Mr. T will lure her away from the Times Square nest box. All those cameras for naught!  And then one word was in my brain...A R C H E R! Although Beauty has been much more active with Mr. T and fun to watch I do hope Beauty holds out for our little guy Archer and that it happens without incident. |

I haven't seen the news in a couple days and am just finding out about this. Donna what a relief to know your friend is okay. It goes without saying that I'm praying for those poor folks.  |

And we didn't even have to put a transmitter on Shaky  And for all of you FB folks using your smartphones, turn off the location option, if you don't want everyone to know that you are at Wegmans with so-and-so or dining here with x, y, and z. I'll tell you where I was when I decide to, not because my phone is tracking me. Shaky is sending the messages, BTW. Sometimes I don't know where I am  Jeanne who has no sense of direction Sometimes I don't want to be where I am!  |

When Beauty came in this morning she came from that general direction. Sooo maybe sleeping on Xerox again. I'll go back to my old routine of going over behind HSBC first thing and see what I can see!  |
