Question: I know, Donna, that you can answer this question in a nano-second, but can anyone refresh my fading memory as to when "Mr. T" first appeared on the scene?    Was it this fall, or early winter? 
He has changed, and matured so much in the ensuing months, that I'm wondering if he was a juvie when he first appeared, and if our Beauty has indeed been a "Mrs. Robinson"? 

I would like to think that Seneca has moved on to a better nest site.  These Pefas are pretty smart about that.  Bad nest site and loss of young probably sent her on her way.  I truly hope she shows up at a safer nest site sometime soon. - Carol P.

Given Seneca's great genes, I also believe that she has moved on to a better nest site and better life! I believe --  as Carol does-- that we will see Seneca again.  Smart  gal!

 
Happy Birthday, Donna.  Enjoy your day, and the new iphone!  You'll never be without the falconcam!

Key your eye out for a 3rd!!!

Are there THREE PeFas in Rochester?  ???

Annette , I can't answer for Donna for sure, but I think she meant for Mark to keep his eyes out for the return of Archer.  We are waiting with baited breath for the return of Archer.     But there are a few other Pefas around the city too. 

Ok, so I'm not sure what happened at the nest earlier but let me tell you, it didn't sound pretty. I sure wish I could see on the cams where it came from. It sounded right there. I'll never forget it and I'm still shaking.

What a morning you have had, Donna-Girl! You poor thing! Will we ever discover what you heard?

Probably not and I was the only one on Live stream. K, I'm crazy!

Can Shaky go back and get Archive sound? 

Posted today on CMNH:

"There were two peregrine falcons under the Brookpark Rd. bridge last night. It was getting to dusk when I stopped to check after walking the dogs, but there were definitely two peregrines on the bridge support. I am sorry I didn't have the scope to try and ID them!
Have a great day!

Lisa"

I do hope it's Seneca!

Me too! 

 

:ditto:May I say triple dittoes?  Let it be Seneca!   Let Archer return.  Let Quest Be successfufl in her "quest"...  Mariah and Kaver?  Bless you for all of this ...keep an eye on them all, and let this be a fruitful breeding season for our falcons. 

Kick that fool, Luis moreno.  It made the news here on 1180 WHAM, in Rochester, NY on the Bob Matthew's sports show tonight.    Bob mentioned the incident at least two or three times.   That poor owl suffered for at least 30 hours before it passed away..  according to Matthews.   And it was being cared for after that moron Luis moreno kicked it. 
What will Moreno's consequences be?  How else can outrage be registered against this heinous act?

Life is short... Forgive quickly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably...
And never regret anything that made you smile.

Amen to that! 

I thought the same thing as I read it.  Amen again!

WanderingFalcon (Carol P.): While the Pefas are chillin, the ice is still jamin. lol

Keep going...sounds like a hit to me!   Title can be: "Chillin', Jammin' and Watchin'"  ...who knows, could make millions for the falcons! :-)

Gorgeous bird.  Just what IS it?     

Mr T at nest, no Beauty.

A few tweets back, MAK mentioned that it is the male that selects the nestbox.  I don't think I was aware of that with the Pefas.  I think I knew that based on songbird activity I've seen...it seems Male Cardinals do that, but i did not know that about the falcons.  So if Archer returns, there will be a battle if Mr. T has also selected the site?  From your reports it seems Mr. T has come  a long way from the bird begging Beauty to share, to  "flights of fancy" with her.

It is staying light out longer, and at 6:18, it was still sort of light out.   Could that be the difference? 

With so many nest sites in Buffalo, they are going to need a lot of help on their Watches.  If you live in or near Buffalo, please consider helping out.  You can leave a message here or contact Sage.  Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.  Those young fledglings can get into so much trouble on those first flights!

Carol, maybe you and Joyce and Kathy should take  your wonderful pictures and slide shows to the media in Buffalo.  Put the pictures in the Buffalo News, on their website, on the news programs.  Maybe it just needs to be publicized a bit more in Buffalo.

That's a great idea Margaret!

I agree, word must get out. Some of the Rochester people need to know too, especially City Hall guards! 

I agree with Donna.  Rochester needs more publicity too.  Who has a PR  background?   Who can taol to Marcotte at D and C?    The words needs to be spread, not only in Buffalo, but in our own city too.

Brian reported:

Interesting behavour.  It's been awhile since they've been seen on those buildings.

Do we know which falcons these are?  Banded?
