I swear he waits for her to feed, then gets going himself! Who cares, it works!!

 

I don't recall ever seeing this much tandem feeding!  Are they in competition?   Are they over feeding the babies?    What are they bringing up to the nest box?  Ducks? 

Dot brought MORE FOOD!

Babies are absolutely stuffed...so he tried to feed Beauty



She may have even taken a bite... 

Awww....parenthood changes everything....

Nicely done MAK!

    Nice job, MAK!   You did a great job bringing news about the falcons to the public!    Ambassador of Pefas:  MAK!   
Thank you.

Beauty leaving after feeding!

Are these leftovers from the earlier feast?  What did they have today?  A turkey?  A duck?   Does anyone know what it was?  Was it just a pigeon?   Frank Perdue would have been proud!    An oven fryer for sure!   Did B or DC bring in the meal?

So happy to see the sharing with the general public on the news. I heard it on the 5AM newscast this morning on WHAM1180!   Glad to hear it!

 

Then Beauty was back to supervise again...and letting him know when they'd had enough

Do you love her eyes?  The wisdom of the ages in those eyes!   
And, if I remember correctly, Dot.ca is feeding the eyases much better than he did Orion!  Less messy?    I remember Orion covered with food!

It's OK little bro...you'll catch up REAL quick

He ain't heavy...he's my brother! 

Priceless!   

               

OK...this supervising bit has got to be one of the funniest things I've seen in a LOOONG time 

She is not letting those babies out of her sight!
 
  I wonder if she doesn't trust Dot.ca? 

Family Meeting...


Proud Papa...

Oh my goodness..such a photogenic family.  All of these need to be in the calendar!

Yes Beauty, this is yours...

A calendar shot for sure!

I see Quest has not improved her housekeeping skills since last year...girl after my own heart   

Mine too! 

Mine too!      Quest has got her priorities straight...and that's what it's all about!   Right?

In this video,  DC is on eggs.  You can hear eggshell crunching and towards the end of the video (1:46 mark in video), you can hear at least one baby.

Thank you so much-that was totally cool to hear! Getting so anxious now!!!! 

Can't watch until I get home...but I heard it live...way cool!

It's so awesome not to have to ever miss a thing with so many dedicated people on the street, in office towers or sitting at their computers at home.  Rochester has the best, hands down.  Thank you all for the work you do, it is so appreciated.

 

     


I do believe they are talking back to her and I think we will have a little Beauty-ful one by tomorrow night!


Are they talking back yet Beauty?

Happy  Birthday, Carol!   I hope it is filled with your favorite things!   

They are forever vigilant.  Always aware of everything surrounding them.  It is what keeps them alive.  What keeps their mates and young safe.

I believe that this newest UT comes in from the north and that's why Dot.ca is always looking north now.

He has proven himself to be a fierce protector.  He is THE Rochester Tiercel.

Believe me, everyone, we would never have given up looking for him.  ALL the Rochester Falcon Watchers spent many hours these past couple days searching and watching.

To this day, I still search for Mariah and Archer, every single day.  Please never doubt that Dot.ca is important to us and a member of our Rochester Falcon Family.   

Thankfully it is back to being peaceful and boring.  Just how I like it.   

Well said, Carol.
