We've had the first hatch of 2010, just a little after 3PM Rochester time.  In the picture above you can see the fresh pink skin and white hair-like feathers of the eyas which has just emerged from its egg shell.  It's damp and blind right now, and newly hatched chicks can't regulate their...

ell, it's getting close to the time when Archer and Beauty's three eggs should begin to hatch.  They've been doing a great job of incubating the eggs.  In typical Peregrine style, Beauty has done most of the brooding, but Archer has shown him self to be a dedicated egg-sitter too.  In an...

Quest closed out April near her familiar stomping ground, but in the first part of May she's been moving around.  Her path over the past ten days or so has followed Highway 401 for the most part.  She's been as far to the northeast as Cornwall on the outskirts of Montreal, and as...

From Rochester Falcon Watcher, Carol P.
I headed downtown around 9 am.- Since Archer and Beauty are incubating the eggs, there hasn't been too much activity.- That will all change when the first eyas hatches.
Today I met Dana and Larry O (with Cleo) on the Broad St. Bridge.- Just before Larry arrived, Dana and I saw...
