Wow, Patty, that is a coincidence! 

And grandfather of Billie.  Oh carp!    I hope he and the other bird will be okay.

How sad!  He was definitely a patriarch, with 34 chicks.   

That's an interesting comment on mourning.  I'm not sure if it was mourning or just confusion, but I sure remember how Dot.ca stood on the SE corner of the nestbox for over an hour after Unity was killed, looking down Broad Street at the spot where she died.  Then Beauty came back that evening and Pigott took up residence at BS, and all hell broke loose!  What a time that was!  Beauty and Dot.ca are such a good team now that it's hard to imagine they had a such a rocky start three years ago. 

Wow, MAK!  Congratulations! 

Well done, Kris!   

Thanks for posting, Donna.  Looks like DC was really checking it all over. 

refreshing his memory of why he was still here in the winter time.

Exactly.

How exciting!  I wonder if he/she knows you're a raptor fan, Ei. 

Cool!  Looks like we'll get some great views.  Thanks for posting, Donna.   

Oh, I am so very sorry to hear this.  I found out she hadn't been doing well when I asked her if she needed a ride to this past year's Watchers Weekend.  I had driven her to the 2013 gathering.  She had such a great attitude.  I always enjoyed her posts on Ustream.  

Fly free, Glo.  We will miss you.  

They both look so beautiful up there in the sunshine!

Go Trout!!!   

YAY!  Thanks, Shaky!   

Wow, Rocky is one lucky cat!   

Thanks for posting this, Jeanne.  I feel privileged that some of these wonderful birds have chosen downtown Rochester as their summer and fall home.  They are beautiful, and fascinating to watch, as their habits are different from the other birds.
