Thanks Donna and MAK.  I know I still have to learn the finer points of proper identification and getting the correct angle, but that will come.

Wow, that's cool!  I'm sure glad it wasn't a fire, or I might not be able to go to work for a long time!

Thanks, Kris!

Just thought I'd share a couple of pics from my first successful solo Brighton falcon watch today.  Joyce took me out there last summer to show me the lay of the land and meet Miss Pigott, but every time I've gone out there on my own since there there have been no falcons there.  Not today!  Both Pigott and DC were there.

Well said, Donna! Let's have peace in the Rochester skies tomorrow! 

Thanks, Shaky!  I saw the County Office Building scene, the crash and the shootout, but missed the Chase Tower. 

Somebody at the nestbox a couple of hours ago with lots of echupping, according to WLABarb.  Thanks, WLABarb! 

She tends to come and go.

I hope there are no scrapes between Billy and the snowy owl that was spotted at the end of the Summerville pier this past weekend.

Wow.  Just wow...

Yep, Beauty's wearing her prettiest dress today. 

Hurray for Stormin' and his rescuers, and Haven too!

Dash needs to STOP doing this! End of story!!!      

Absolutely, MAK.  I've thought that for a long time, but this honest admission sealed it for me:  "I was warned to put mesh into the ground and floor but I did not."   

YAY!  Thanks, Shaky. I looked for her there twice this afternoon, to no avail.  Then I had to go a meeting from which I just got out, and I looked again about five minutes ago.  There she was in all her glory.   

Caught red-taloned!  Or maybe yellow-taloned!  Very cool.  Thanks, Dale!
