I followed the Loch of the Lowes Osprey blog and streaming video last year, and am so excited that Lady is back! What an incredible wildlife story. Here's hoping that her mate returns soon.
For those of you who would like to provide a "custom" home for the wintering birds in your yard, check out Ganondagan's hands-on Gourd Birdhouse Workshop on Saturday, November 6 from 10 am-2 pm at their site in Victor: www.ganondagan.org and click on "Events Calendar."
I read this in today's NYT. Amazing what a group of dedicated volunteers can do. Rochester Falcon people obviously already know that. I also love how the governmental organizations now count on these volunteer groups for very necessary assistance AND expertise!
I'm the part-time marketing and PR manager at Ganondagan, and I told Pete Jemison (Ganondagan Historic Site manager) about the falcon bearing his name. He didn't know either.
I found this link through the wonderful Scottish Osprey cam. It tracks specific birds in the most detailed way through their migration journey. This is the link for Beatrice's migration which she just began a few days ago, thanks to The Highland Foundation for Wildlife. Details also include distance traveled and speed! http://www.roydennis.org/osprey/index.asp?id=197&sid=86#thumb.
How fortunate to be able to do more than wonder what happens when a bird leaves for migration!
I also wish Quest would stay away from Downtown Toronto, where there already are falcons with existing territories. Must be her "urban" gene from Downtown Rochester!
