"Nest Update

01/11/11:
We saw the eagle pair brought a feathered meal to the nest. It was a mallard.

It's a good sign to see them eating at the nest -- this activity has preceded egg-laying in the past."

This is the northwest corner of the Columbus building. Beauty was last reported to be on the northEAST corner.



She was seen on that building before, if I recall correctly.  In the fall...there's a gym in the building...I think she may have stooped from there...

I see cam 1 took a quick trip to visit Mercury last evening...



And now it's focused on the Susan B. Anthony/Frederick Douglas bridge.  Anything we should be Watching for?  Or just putting it through it's paces?

  LOOKS WHO’S VISITING ME – Downtown Jersey City resident Kadee Shipman and her son found this Peregrine falcon hanging out in their backyard recently.

Pic is small but...is it a falcon??

I believe your instincts are correct-I've never seen a belly band on a peregrine-looks like a red tail to me.

And one other interesting tidbit...

If she's 73/H - Female banded at the Bayshore Power Plant, Lucas County, OH 2009- Name: Shay, then she hatched at the same scrape where Millie (Archer's sister) nested in her final year with Swifty, before moving on to Monroe MI with Leopold. 

Here's the piece I'm not sure of...Is Shay the daughter of Swifty & a new mate?  If she is, she's ALSO a relative of Beauty, though a bit more distant.  Swifty is the son of Roosevelt, Roosevelt is the brother of Erie, Beauty's father. 

And Erie, Roosevelt & Leopold are full brothers.  And Hunter, who was with "our" Ranger in Toronto, is their half brother (all sons of Bandit).

I'm just trying to keep all of our pefas straight for now.  We don't know who Beauty's winter-friend is, but maybe we have an ID on LadyPefa at Kodak Park.   IF, as Joyce's pictures show, the Lady Pefa  has a band of 71 H, and is Unity from Toledo, Ohio, does that mean that Beauty and Lady Pefa's mother (Belle?) are sisters?    I need a score card.  But do I have it kind of correct for now?    

(For those who may not have looked at the comments section...

If it’s the female from Univ of Toledo, she’s related to Beauty…the female at the University of Toldeo, Belle, fledged from the Univ of Pittsburgh in 2003. Beauty fledged from here in 2007.)

That's how I'm reading it!

Ei

Ei...

Beauty was hatched and fledged from Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning site...I don't think we ever posted the date on the KFC board, though.  Jim P may remember the year she fledged.

I see the confusion-in my post I was quoting Karen Lang from the blog comments section-she's the one saying Beauty fledged in 2007 from U of Pitt (Cathedral of Learning)-which is "here" to her.  So...Do over!

Belle- hatched Cathedral of Learning 2003 to Dorothy & Erie-Nesting at University of Toledo (Ohio)-daughter Unity hatched 2009 71/H B/R

Beauty hatched Cathedral of Learning 2007 to Dorothy & Erie-Nesting Times Square Rochester

Resident female @ Kodak Park (Lady Pefa) might be Unity 71/H B/R.  If so...

Then Beauty is Lady Pefa's aunt  (Beauty & Belle being full sisters)

Some of his entries are...things I choose to not read about.  Others can take a decidedly political turn.  But it's ALWAYS interesting and it's rare that I don't learn something new.

I found this via TYWKIWDBI, originally posted at MSNBC



"It's not only humans who are suffering due to the recent floods in Australia. Australian Bat Clinic and Wildlife Trauma Centre director Trish Wimberley and her carers have helped save 130 orphaned bats on the Gold Coast in past weeks. They saved 350 young bats during the 2008 storm season but this year think there's more going on than just wild weather. Carers have visited several bat 'camps' on the coast in recent weeks to find four-week-old babies on the ground covered in maggots and fly eggs. Trish said: "They're coming down to feed on the ground. That makes them vulnerable. It's not a natural occurrence and shows there is trouble in the environment. "Bats are a barometer to what is going on in the environment. They're our canaries down the coal mine". The surviving youngsters will be bottle fed and kept either hanging on clothes lines or in special intensive care units until they are ready to fly again in about four weeks."

Wow! Just came across this video on Vivian Maier. She was a New York nanny whose hobby was street photography. Her work has been discovered and could be counted amongst the greats.
