did we originally call cinnamon "mini" before banding--or am i
all mixed up (once again)  ???

No, chlosmom,...cinnamon was being called "mini"  before he/she was banded.....he?   

Kendal wasn't quite sure what to make of this little winged creature. He cocked his head a few times then...a precious moment happened. He walked over to Harlie and snuggled with him. It was the BEST!!! 

Those have got to be among the best pictures so far this season!   

  :wub:Oh my!  These are absolutely the best.  So glad you caught it!

Look at Harlequin peeking out from under Quest!   

Quest's a really good mom! 

She's not giving the "fearsome foursome" any good views of Harlequin. 

Kendal's been very scarce lately. Rarely seen on cam. 

But is Kendal bringing food to Quest somewhere the camera doesn't pick up?    I've been wondering if Quest is having to do all the hunting as sometimes she lives Harlie for quite a bit.  When is the last time Kendal was seen on cam?

Good for all of you!  We will miss your reports, but can't wait to hear about your Canadian adventures! 

Beauty sporting a new feather "fascinator"

LOL, she was preening her back and when she surfaced....there it was!

Sorry, but is B looking a little on the slimmer side?  I find that unusual given that prey pickins' would be  more abundant in these warmer months than in the frigid months that we followed her and she appeared to me  plumper chasing the prey with Mr. T?    Anyone?

From watching them in past summers, I've seen when it's very hot, they can make themselves real slim like that.  Probably cooler?

 

I kind of wondered about that too, Kris.  Quest and Beauty have both had similar stances in the heat, and I know that birds pant and hold out their wings to  cool off, so I think you are correct!   Thanks!

Thank you paul for posting that image of Quest and Harlie.  She was fed at 5 something tonight.  And a bad storm did pass through.  I'm 20 miles east of Rochester and I've had hail hitting windows, dimming lights and computer power, and driving rain and it's 10-11 pm.  Hope Quest and Harlie are okay.

Your excitment comes through in your report, Anne.  Have fun and enjoy the fledge watch.Keep us posted as we are all watching and reading.

I am a little behind in my readings of the posts, but I truly HOPE that Our Lady of the Skye Transmission is somewhere  safe and sound.    Fly High little Hope/Sky transmission!

Anne, so glad you are on a fledge watch!  And so cool that the rochester watchers are coming up there!  It is so different up there with such high buildings!!!!

You will be fine Anne!  And so lucky.  And all of you Rochester watchers..you are the best, and Rhea Mae and Tiago's babies will be in fine hands with all of you watching. Yes, it will be different; Toronto is so different from our little city, but you are all such experienced watchers and have such a connection to RM that those fledglings are lucky!    Send lots of pictures and reports to all of us locked in couch potatoes.
Have fun and keep us "posted"!  Please?

looking at her empty scrape & chirping -Joyce

  Look at that face! 

It's funny to watch Harlie underneath Quest.  She's  looking too big to fit under her mom.  (Why do I keep saying "she"?)

Thank you Ann for the great pictures of Quest and Harlequin and thank you to Big Frank for posting the pics.   Harlie is getting bigger by the minute. 

...is there any chance that Harlequin's feed of the banding day that is being sent to their NY offices, can be streamed to rfalconcam?  Just asking...  

Why not watch it on Harlequin's site?

Doh!  Why didn't I think of that?  Can't wait. 

This year is one for the books. Speaking of pictures from the falconcam, Shaky, is there any chance that Harlequin's feed of the banding day that is being sent to their NY offices, can be streamed to rfalconcam?  Just asking...
