Love this poofy look!

Tres chic, Beauty! 

And, if it's the same prey, Beauty had it on Mercury just before these captures. 

Tough to tell, Kris.  They arrived there simultaneously with it.  I'm pretty sure Beauty had it the whole time in the nestbox.

Very cool.  I thought the pics were great, especially the ones of the captivated people.  Pefas will do that to you.

Looks like a polite bow from the gentleman on cam 4!

Indeed!

Oh, I so wish I'd been paying attention back in 2008 when "the glorious five" were being raised here in Rochester.  What a joyous time that must have been! 

Wow, how very sad to read that "Imprints" and to see those pictures.  They brought tears to my eyes just now and I wasn't even following the Rochester falcons in 2009.  And it's so curious to read the comments.  We have said the same things about Beauty, who battled Mariah, and we mourned the loss of Unity, who battled Beauty. It's so very hard for us humans to accept, but it's the way of the falcon.

Is that when Mariah was injured? 

I was just thinking that it was a year ago yesterday, 3/26, when Archer somehow hurt his legs, and it's a year ago this coming Friday when Unity laid the angel egg while Archer was recuperating on B&L.  I still miss them.  Little did we know that there were even more sad times to come, or that the season would end on a happy note with the arrival of the handsome young Orion.

MAK, just tell them to call me if you have any more trouble.  I'll vouch for you if you buy me a Tim Horton's cookie sometime.  I can be bought.  

I hope Archer is still raising eyases somewhere too.

Wow, she's beautiful.  It must have been so sad to see her bested by Beauty and Archer.  That's life in nature, though.  I hope she is thriving somewhere.  In a perfect world, she will have met up with Kaver again and once again they are producing awesome eyases.  That's what I choose to believe.

Yippee!   

Okay. Thanks, Ei.
