Great pics and narative Dana!  Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only confirmation falcon is Beauty and maybe last years couple?

the only confirmed one is Beauty. There was never a positive ID on last years wintering pair so I would say no way to say if they are the same ones or not.

but hey I'm in Ohio so what do I know 

Actually, with last years winter pair the female had bands - silver on the right, black over green on the left - but we were never able to get a confirmed reading of the bands.  The male had no bands.

Here's some pics from last years pair.  Some nice shots of the female in this album:

Here are pics from my late afternoon watch at the Kodak Research area.  I am pretty sure the adult today is unbanded, and therefore not Mariah. 

I had a big surpirse with the arrival of a banded juvenile on the scene.   

That makes 6 Peregrine Falcons in Rochester since last Thursday.

Here's the pics from today:

Here are some more pics from our Four Peregrine Falcon Watch yesterday.  I also spotted a Merlin in Irondequoit.  Hope you enjoy.

At about 10am this morning I spotted a falcon on a church cross which is located north of the HSBC building. I'm pretty sure it was Beauty but with the lighting and snowfall and lack of a good look at the legs I cannot confirm.

Catching up, here are some pics of Beauty this past Saturday, and a RTH in Irondequoit that same day.

I watched Beauty on Mercury from 3:00pm till 5:00pm.  She was still there watching over the city when I left.  Here are some pics.

I had lots of fun on my day off Wednesday.  It all began with a Red-tailed Hawk getting brunch in Irondequoit. Here's some pics.  (Warning -This album may not be for those with a weak stomach)

And to fill my falcon fix for the day, here's some pics.

Enjoy   

I headed downtown Thanksgiving morning and immediately spoted a falcon on the Mercury statue about 9:45am.  It looked like Beauty.  I watched her for about an hour when she took off heading straight down towards the west out of my sight.  I was unable to track her down after that.

About 11:50am today, Lou and I watched a juvenile Peregrine Falcon on a communication tower in a parking lot on the south side of East Ridge Rd, across the street from the Georgetown Plaza. After about 5 minutes, the falcon took off west towards the Keeler Park Apts.  We headed down to the Walmart parking lot and looked all around but were unable to see the falcon again.

Here's pictures from both watches.

It was a cloudy watch this morning, but it was nice to finally find Beauty and get to see her enjoy a meal on Midtown.  Here are some pics.

I haven't seen Mariah at the Medley Center or St. Ann's or anywhere else in Irondequoit since Oct. 30th. I have seen lots of Red-tailed Hawks and Coopers Hawks and even a Kestrel.  In the last week I was only able to get downtown this past Saturday, and was lucky enough to catch a quick flyover by (I believe) "Beauty".  Here are some pics of my early Nov. adventures.  Beauty's pics are 25-30 in the album:

Lou and I also took a roadtrip to the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge this past Saturday.  We spent a wonderful day with a pair of eagles at Ringneck Marsh.  I hope they stay the winter.  Here are some pics from our trip:

The new Kodak Gallery is very slow, so I would suggest after logging in for the albums, that you log into the Kodak Gallery Classic (old software) to view the slideshows.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Here's some additional pictures of Mariah from Tuesday the 27th, at both the mall on my lunchhour, and at St. Ann's after work.

I was off work today, but still managed, despite the ALL DAY rain, to take a couple of trips around the area. I was unable to see Mariah anywhere.  Hopefully tomorrow.

Hi folks.  I did a once around the mall before work this morning around 7am and did not see a falcon.  While at work I peeked out and confirmed with a zoom of my camera that a falcon was again on the peak around 9.  It was still there at 10 when I had to go to Wegmans on East Ridge Road - east of the mall - around 10 for work.  When I was leaving Wegmans, I noticed pidgeons going wild at the plaza south of Wegmans.  While driving, I saw one speedy bird with larger wings than a pidgeon in the mix.  When I was able to pull safely over, I did a look around the area but was unable to spot any raptors enjoying a meal.  When I arrived back at work, the falcon was no longer at the mall.  I did not see the falcon the rest of the day during various peeks.

Here's pics of Mariah from Saturday.  Hope you enjoy.
