Now look at that pretty purple band!

By MAK

I thought that too,MAK, when I looked at your pics earlier. You certainly got the definitive picture of Unity's  leg band.   Great job!

Wow is that just a drop off from the nest box? If so I pray the babies stay back!!! 

Amazing how we worry huh?

Not really- we're human, we have emotions and it's hard to stifle them! 

Yep!  What she said!

[Rochester Buildings.]

Here is a link that lists Rochester Buildings.  In addition to Dumpsterkitty's Rochester Landmarks Map (see other topic), this can be used as a reference for the various buildings our Rochester Falcons land on.

This is really interesting.  I know the skyline, and have worked in some of the buildings downtown, but now I see the heights of the buildings, and see why our falcons are there.   The Powers Building is a good deal shorted than the others; why was that particular site selected for a nest box? 
Unity is certainly choosing some different sites to land on. 

Hoping for a good update on Beauty soon. Lit another couple of candles for her - 164 candles now,

I lit some and up to 167 at 11 pm tonight.  Keep lighting the way for our Beauty. HOpe to hear some news soon.

Thanks so much Alison!!!  Gosh what a great photo of Quest!  She looks like Kaver in that picture!

Lovely pictures of our Quest.  Always happy to see the hatch of 2008 being happy and content, and maybe more babies this year.  Thank you allison and to Pattimac for sharing.

 

 

There are still 105 candles burning for Beauty, but I see many are burning pretty low.  Keep the light on for her.
 

Is there any more news about Beauty?  What will happen if Beauty is releasable?    Will she be released in Rochester?  Even if she is released somewhere else as Mariah was, she will be back here within days as Mariah was.    Then what?

I'm sure MAK isn't taking this lightly!! 

 
 
This is so tough.

Nothing like Montauk Point on Long Island.   I wish I was a duck there!
My sisters and I have  a "sisters' weekend " there every year. 

Ok let's hope this works, I am not good at it.

SHe is a big girl.  Donna, can you post side by sides of Beauty in the NB and Unity in the NB.    U looks so much bigger. 

Unity has arrived!

Oh no..these power struggles and  coups are almost too much

In this bonus edition of the daily travel photo, we're highlighting last week's It's a Snap gallery winner. Though the competition was stiff, with great photos from around the world, the majority of voters settled on Talia Rose's shot of a snowy owl.
Rose told TODAY.com that she had read about a gathering of snowy owls at Damon Point State Park, which is located on the coast of Washington state. Rose and her son headed out there on Jan. 13. The weather was ideal, and the two hiked along the beach as the sun rose. When the light brightened, they found themselves amid a half dozen snowy owls. The two spent much of the day taking photos and enjoying the rare sight.

This photo is GLORIOUS!  Love the grin on this snowy!

(movie) New pooh, so she is above the nest!

Ahhh, Donna, only a dedicated watcher would see "new Pooh" . Why am I finding this funny, but also sad?

Sad cuz it's not poop from the Beautyful one! 

Hmm, we both said that!!

Hmmmm, this is weird, but not weird!   Are you two the same person?

Close Margaret! 

Well then, have a great time tomorrow, and show us lots of pics of Pefas in Toronto, and I hope pics of our Quest.
Have fun...both of you!

You got that right.  Beauty belongs on Mercury!  That starts the day off right!
