I'm being denied access to all pictures and reports on CPF today which has never happened before.  Is
anyone else having trouble with the site?

Yes-right after I had saved the pictures.  It has happened before, usually when they're making changes, adding multiple reports & pictures.  Hopefully it will be back soon.  At least RM&T's webcam is still running...

Just browsing around and I found some more pictures posted from banding day on CPF (having trouble opening all the reports right now and the thumbnails aren't showing-they're opening for me when I click on them)...(edit-aggravating me to see no thumbnail-changing where the pictures are located)

      

YIKES!  What a dirty face!  Good thing we know why it looks like that!

You can see an injury to Beauty's left wing.

I think that's just the way the feathers are ruffling.  There are a few small feathers (cannot come up with the name right now-need more coffee) right at that point of the wing that often look out of place in flight.

And, thank you!  Not OT at all...these are FABULOUS pictures!

Beauty was back digging in the scrape...

Man I wish I were a local!

I wish you were too Donna!  You would make a wonderful Falcon Watcher!   

Thanks, it's what I want to be when I grow up! 

You have to be growed up?  No one told me that!   

I've already warned my family that's my retirement plan...get a camper van & be a peregrinating peregrine watcher!

what oes BWF stand for?---it's obvious that cinnamon has it all

Big White Feet, since they haven't turned yellow yet...

A late supper at the Sheraton



Everyone gathered around



Cinnamon heads for bed with a FULL crop!

I am also wondering where Beauty is.  I hope we get a report from the on-the-scene watchers tonight. 
B was last seen before 5 pm tonight is what I am gathering from the reports. Is that correct?  But she has not been seen since then? 
But looking at watcher reports, it seems that Archer is bonding more to Unity,  and Beauty is or has been rejecting Archer? Sad at all of this is, it is fascinating to watch. 
.      We are so used to watching them on camera that it is hard to not "see" what is going on-- especially at this time of year when it is hatching time/even banding time during other years!

We may never know all the answers to this year's happenings, but it is one for the archives!

By now you'll have seen Beauty is on her favorite perch...5th column on Xerox south side.  The watchers are stretched pretty thin right now.

Keep in mind that we're not seeing everything...as much time as Archer has spent at KP today, he's been pretty much at TS full time for the past few days.  He's just bonding like any peregrine would with his mate(s) at this point in the year.  Whether any of it will produce more eggs remains to be seen.  But they're all just doing what peregrines do.

Since Donna's thank you got here before the tweet...

The beautiful one is on the 5th column, south side of Xerox. All Rochester pefas accounted for. Nite!

Oops...lol sorry! I was excited!

No apology needed...I just happen to follow her too...I know people were worrying...

The most recent ones open as big as they'll get from the CPF site.  The giant ones take a bit more work...

Just found one that's small...will tweak it...brb...

More photos just posted Frank is still adding more but I don't know how to bring them over and make them bigger?  It's under a new topic here:

This will also help when you can't get the thumbnail to open...right click on the thumbnail, select copy image location, paste it into the address bar & trim it to version 2.

Figures-they adjust the cameras and the crew moves back to the nest tray end...
