1876  Rochester Falcons / Rochester Falcon Offspring / Re: Millie Finds a New Home, Family in Michigan on: 04-Sep-09, 10:21:47 PM
I am the one who posted the information about Millie on the Cleveland forum yesterday. I just found a report from someone who works at the Monroe Power Plant which indicates that Millie and Leopold may have had three chicks this year:

At the Power Plant at which I work, we've had a pair of Peregrine Falcons nesting under an overhang for the past thirteen years.  Leopold, the male, has been there from the first.   However, the present Mrs. Leopold is new this year, and is his fourth mate.  Leopold has fathered young every year for now his thirteenth consecutive year.  One of this year's three youngsters decided to go exploring this morning, and wound up inside the power plant.  We had to rescue it, and, since it can't really fly, and we can't get it back to the nest, it will spend the next couple of weeks at a rehab center, getting banded and fed until it can fly.  As a part of all that, I took a couple of phone photos.  Kinda dark in there, but I was only a couple of feet away, so he's pretty visible:

Leopold (band number black/red N/*4) was born at the Rhodes Tower in Columbus, Ohio. He is the son of Bandit and Aurora, and a brother of Buckeye at the Terminal Tower in Cleveland.
