My favorite pair! 

Mine too!   I love seeing RM and Tiago too, but Quest is special. She has that miracle transmitter, and we know where she is, and that she has Mariah and Kaver's genes, and continuing the line. 

MAK saw him flying, legs hanging, no bands!  Saw him scratch, no bands!

What is going to happen this year, then, if we have a New Boy in Town? Fascinating! Thanks to MAK et al for their watches!

WOW   A new male in town!  And they like each other!    No aggression was seen?   

  While all was happening at the nest, I happened to check on the Questals and found them at home. 

  :heart:Yay for Quest and Kendal!

Love this report.  I remember it so well as it was the end of the school year, and I actually got to go downtown and on the bridge and see Quest, Seneca, Diamante, Zephyr and Susan B flying all around.  Something I will never forget.  I think that is why I love to follow Quest and her adventures. 

Just caught her as she was about to leave

Good catch!  I was just thinking about our Quest!
Hope she and Kendall have another good nesting year.   

Poor thing.  Magnificent looking bird.   
Idiots who took him out on ice! 

Just snow, and a scrape in the shape of a heart.

This picture needs to become a calendar picture!  How appropriate for RM and T!   A heart shaped scrape.  Love it.

It is a very special and beautiful watercolor of Dot. ca. 



...thank you, Barb!   Talent abounds!
I also loved the one of Orion..which I had just been looking at.

I can't believe it stayed there with a human so close. 

I can't believe it either.  They opened the window and the bird never left.  I hope it is okay.

MAKfalcon (MAK): Spoke to Brenda at Keybank-they know us but thought I'd leave a rfalconcam card with all. Everyone was very appreciative at all the bank ...

Yay, MAK!!!

Good public relations award and good citizenship award for this day goes to MAK!   

    Love the name Thumper!!

Why am I thinking of Bambi?  Why?   Was Thumper a  rabbit?   Help me memory!  Love the name.

WanderingFalcon (Carol P.): BS. One last look at the roost shows 2 falcons there one above the other. I think we may have a 3rd coming in. Male? Its always something.

has DC come home?

Oh my...this is about the time of year..the days are getting longer, and  I was seeing lots of  flocks over the Finger Lakes area ..well before this deep freeze this week.   DC?   Oh ...go to Beauty...

MAKfalcon (MAK): I will be going into the Canandaigua Bank this morning to introduce myself and tell them about our beloved falcons!

Be sure to take off you ski mask and   walk in with your hands in the air! 
 

Beauty at the nest again

Hmm, thinking about nesting season, perhaps? 

probably thinking to herself "I am an attractive falcon, I've got a wonderful penthouse with a great view. Why can't I find a faithful attentive life partner...sigh" 

Stay safe, Beauty!   You look so much stronger and more beautiful than  you did after your ordeal last year.  Stay safe and strong and beautiful.  Find a faithful partner and raise more young this year.   You have good genes and you are a survivor!

Loved the slo- mo pics of BST and Ms. P.   She is gorgeous!    I hope they have young this season. Just where?    A nest box is needed there.  Is anyone working on it the powers that be? 
If Harliequin and CPF can get that NB for Q and K and quickly as they did a few years  back, I know that GVAS and  powers that be will do the same for this pair.

Pictures are wonderful, and good argument that a nest box is needed.
