Awwww,   

Yes, and I hope we hear something of their first brood, Alfreda and Wagner, turning up someplace where fans will report their sightings!

Diamante looks like a big bird, but when you see them flying together, Gleig looks twice his size!  Together, they won the site last March from Stash and Stella, so as long as they overwinter here, I don't think they will get successfully threatened!

Peregrines Central Terminal 11.6.12

When we arrived at CT this morning after voting, Diamante was hiding out on the back rail of his favorite lookout. Gleig then flew back her to her nest on the tower and Diamante came out front!

This news prompted me to upload the CT family pix this year.  Peregrine Falcons, CT 2012  Please feel free to use. 

Thanks, Shaky!   And we have no clue whether Diamante and Gleig hooked up elsewhere and came here together?  She is younger and this is likely her first nest, but he could have had other mates.  

Thought:  could Diamante have been the tiercel seen with Jean (Syracuse, ID'd again by Joyce) at the old Cargill elevators the year before he took over CT?  Joyce???  That pair seemed to have disappeared this year, but then Gleig and Diamante show up at Central Terminal, kill Stella and Stash's outcome is still unknown.  The two sites are within eyeshot of each other.   I'm thinking, Diamante was in the area...

So how did the name Diamante get chosen? 

Now Roger and I have Diamond in the gorge and Diamante at CT to watch!   

Joyce's news this morning was so thrilling!  Now Rochester and Buffalo are truly sister Peregrine Places!  It's so exciting to be watching the live legacy of Mariah and Kaver!  Diamante is such a beautiful bird, so white and sleek, he never seems ruffled like Gleig!  A very elegant bird.

The Root Beer girls, Alfreda and Wagner, are doing great at Central Terminal! 

  A shot from the other day...I forgot to repost some to FBPP today!  They uploaded to ~Sage~


Since the colored tape has come off both, I can't ID them.  They were very high!

Who got to see Orion go this morning?  Great job you've all been doing!   

Michelle and Enrique are coming Sat am.  Have not heard from Carl so he may still be in Canada.  It looks as if Orion will still be on cam too!   

Roger and I are planning to be there Saturday, and will bring something.  If we get a hotel for Friday, we will come then too.  Who can I contact Friday to find out what is most needed?

Haven't heard from Michelle/Enrique, nor Carl this week.

I wondered about that too, Ei

Hon's ex still won't reschedule her birthday party!

 So is everyone getting together at the park friday eve too?   Like what time?   I see Shaky and Carrie won't be there sat.  ): 

I think Carl may come too, and maybe Michelle and Enrique who got rescue and release experience this year at Central Terminal.  Will check on that.
