Another visit by the Pigeon Patrol this morning!   

One has to wonder what is going through their little bird brains as they gaze at the pigeon graveyard here. 

Egg drop is right!  No doubt about it.   

Oh, that's wonderful!  Now let's hope for more and for at least one hatching this year!  Thanks for posting the photos, Alison.

Poor Swift really wants an egg.  She's been at the nestbox so often for such a long time now.  I hope she isn't egg bound. 

From Sunday's NY Times:

Ah, no-o-o-o! Poor Snowy!   

I would suspect they checked, as Animal Control officers were involved, and they should know to do that.  Poor little thing.  I wonder what happened to mama and any sibs. 

You never know what critters you'll meet in Rochester falcon territory.

The money shot!  Good job, MAK!

Don't worry. I'll be back on Rfalconcam full time after the Super Bowl.

Make that after the Pro Bowl.  We know you'll be chosen. 

Thanks for the update, NCAFalcons!  I've been thinking of you and hoping you were okay and that you would post when possible.

Oh look 'the kids' are home for breakfast this morning 

"Oh no!  Is this really Grandma and Grandpa?  They must have been just a bit too slow."

This is off topic (Seneca Towers falcons, that is) I know, but I'm wondering if possibly the BS falcon could be Billy's sister Virginia, and her yellow tape has fallen off.  Billy's red tape fell off, so who knows?  There was a juvie female, black over green on left/yellow tape on right, falcon seen at BS right after Pigott left this past spring.  She was never ID'd, but those were Virginia's band colors. Maybe Virginia has followed Billy to this area.  Hopefully we'll see the new female at BS again and someone will be able to ID her.

Not sure how "official" this is, but here's the entry on the Forum from Sage, announcing the 2013 Central Terminal Banding.  I know she spelled Saoirse and Zbigniew correctly, so I'll bet Billy is right, too.

Yep, looks like 77 to me too, Joyce.  Also, in Dana's band pictures taken last October, the letter "A" wearing off of the band.  I'm not surprised it's not legible now.  Welcome back, Billy!
