Also - from around 1pm.  After housekeeping - it looks like she left a wet spot where she was working and scraping.  Is this a post mating or pre-egg delivery "signature"?  Or is it a optical illusion? Not up on my falcon mating and gestation biology.   It's also in next to a dead zone for the cam so you can't see much else.

A lot of "housecleaning" today - pebbles rearranged, tasting the walls and left perch block. This female has a tendency to hold her folded left wing very high - like a plane vertical stabilizer.  I'm wondering of someone who's more connected to the watcher community could pass along the pic, maybe someone else noted this characteristic?  Anyone else see an identifying characteristic or mark?

Wow, I still don't believe it. I thin her new name is Houdini as what I saw was a slight of hand. The way her feet were positioned and the blood on one of the talons made that last two pieces look bigger than it was. 

Thanks DK for taking the time to solve the mystery.

If your puzzled by the brochure comment, I'm referring to this one.  This must of been created by some program - Word, MS Publisher, etc....  and made into a .pdf.

I'm looking for the original so I can "leverage" (update with Buffalo area DEC contact numbers, etc...).  Otherwise, I'll need to recreate it from scratch.

Any update to it would be stored here for future use - revision.

Met a lot of really nice and dedicated people this past weekend. 

Thanks Sage.  I'll go to Petsmart or our vet and ask for a box.

Please check your FB mail as I want to chat with you regarding some ideas and doing a meet-up to get some local watchers in the mix - Friends in Rochester always welcome. 

MAK - can we leverage your 2010 Fledge Watch Brochure? as a foundation education packet for any folks we have here - phone number could be updated.  Do you have it on Word format?

Anyway... back to watching and working.

One needs to make their own luck.

Series of events:

Went to UB on Sat - > met Roch Peepers -> Told of Banding -> went to CT -> met Sage/Roger -> introduced to DEC by Sage -> Sage told me that "they" were letting people up -> Went in -> No one there (they went up 10 mins earlier) -> Took a chance on a stairwell I found -> Ran up 6 flights in a dark and extremely dusty stairwell -> Stopped to hack and cough -> ran up a flight -> thought I was going to die (thought of not being found as my heart was pumping and coughing) -> ran up 2 more flights (more thoughts of death) -> listened for voices (had no idea what floor it was on) - nothing -> walked then ran up more flights -> heard a sound above me -> more flights -> then saw the group as I peeked around a corner -> Assisted when asked.   

See I made my own luck.
