Keeping an eye on Quest: she's very wary at the moment. Sitting a ledge over, just watching and waiting for the ropes to disappear. Will be happy to see them reunited! Banding was wonderful. Took some photos, which I'll upload and share in the next day or so!

Love to hear and read what you saw, Kat!  With your "bird's eye" view, it must be wonderful!

Are all three back in the nb? Looks like only two to me.

 I saw only 2 also

I believe the first one is hiding in the corner where the camera can't see him/her. It appeared she put all three back in, and they are huddling in that back right corner, away from all the scary big things...

Oh,I hope so. This must be so traumatic for them...and for Q and K.

Maybe Blaze is a little underweight?  The females are much larger.

1st one Male: 600 grams, Blaze  BLUE Tape

2nd 845 gram Female: Amora Red Tape

3rd one Female: 755 grams: Mira, Green tape.



For those who are gram-challenged (like me), here's the rough equivalent:
Blaze 600 g = 21.1 oz.
Amora 800 g = 28.2 oz.
Mira 755 g = 26.6 oz.


Fly long and strong to the three new babies.  Love the names.  thank you for posting, Donna and Kathy.

Being with me on a watch is an adventure. I have no sense of direction what so ever,so telling me something flew south is useless. I need to know which building it went towards. Telling me a bird is on the SE corner of the west face of a building really confuses me. I call a thingy a thingy as in the heat of a watch as long as U know which thingy I mean its all that matters :-) PS Im really not kidding. Even at a site Ive watched for 10 years Ive no clue which  direction is which.

I'm with you Frank!  silly

Thank goodness!  I confess...I am the same way.   I have a good sense of direction, but all of the SW, EW, means nothing to me...I 'm with you all the way.
thing a bob on the building?      bump!

414  Rochester Falcons / Rochester Falcon Discussion / Re: Where does the name Pigott come from? on: 02-Jun-12, 11:29:46 PM
All of the chicks that year were named after buildings that the falcons historically frequent at various times during their flights/eating/roosting.
 The Pigott Building, the first steel-skeleton skyscraper in Hamilton and one of the first in Canada, was constructed in 1929 at a cost of $1,000,000. Named after the prominent Hamilton family whose construction company erected it, the building served as office space for almost 70 years before being converted to condos in the late 1990s. It?s roof once housed searchlights which revolved every 30 seconds. It now hosts perambulating peregrines often carrying pigeons who would rather be elsewhere.
I was at the banding and it was pronounced Pig It



Thank you, BF!  I've been following and reading, and not really knowing how to pronounce our lady of the BS!  So it is PIG IT!    thank you!    I was thinking it was Pig GO.  I was not right!

Fierce-a word that describes this species best and thank goodness they are for it's needed for their survival in the harsh natural world! Thanks for the update!  falcon2

You got it just right Carol... thumbsup



Of course she got it right!  Are you kidding me?  Is there just one family of falcons and they are ALL related?     It just gets more amazing every year!  Disney had it right..."...it's a small world after all...".
417  Rochester Falcons / Rochester Falcon Offspring / Re: Quest and Kendal - Toronto/Don Mills on: 01-Jun-12, 07:46:25 AM
Is anyone from here going to the banding this coming Monday?

The suspense builds...you love discovering our new residents!  I know you will find out who this is!

Messy, messy kids!  scared blue

Lil piggies

Taking out the fuel!  devil

I have to ask..WHY is their nest box so much dirtier than the one's I've seen here in on KT or TSB?   I'm trying to figure it out.  Is it size?   Do parents clean out the droppings?   I've not seen so many droppins around a NB...sorry if it's dumb question.

He is going to wear a harness now. Im hoping (this is a personal viewpoint not speaking for CPF) that he gets knocked off 1minute into his 3hour special and hangs upside down by his harness while Diamond and Onyx rip and tear out parts that are better left untorn.

That's brutal Frank but I like it!  2thumbsup
