We dodged the snow bullet, Donna, but it got c-o-l-d!

BB now has a third egg, and her pet rock   

OMG!  It's Orville's Big Brother!  And is that a Big Sister I see too?  These peregrines are too funny 

Cam 3??????????????? OMG....I'm so confused now....it's like math...add/subtract. So there are 6 cams but 5 are working?

It's OK Donna...deep breath...you'll be fine...all the better to see 

I thought someone had said the other interior cam (is that the original Aafke cam?) was broken & not repairable?

The other camera is not the old Aafke cam. It's the same camera that was in that location in the Times Square nest box last year.

Aafke cam is the camera in the Powers nest box that was just taken offline. (It might be back at a later date.)   

Thanks Shaky...it looks similar from the main cam view.  And, yes, I saw your other post...can't slip much past us! 

Oops never mind - I see what's up. Switching camera feeds around. Got it.

Nope-not imagining things-though I thought someone had said the other interior cam (is that the original Aafke cam?) was broken & not repairable?  Looks to be working OK now!

There she goes again...

Is there a site out there where I could enter band colors and numbers to help identify falcons, or any other banded bird?  Just asking.  Thanks!!

Morning Guru,

I know there is a database of band #'s from the mid-west, not sure what the URL is.  Maybe someone could post it?  It's sometimes hard to track down a band #, since there is no universal list.

I know I have it in my research folder at home-but it's only mid-west peregrines.  The other site is the Patuxent bird banding lab (again, link at home)...but you have to send in a band # and wait for a response.  A few other state sites list the bands used in a given year in their annual peregrine report, but it's spotty.

If you think it's cluttered now, you should have seen my first draft! 

The width is fixed at 800 pixels for several reasons, one of them being that the most popular smart phones like the iPhone, Droid, and Google Nexus One have an 800 pixel wide display.

I'm sure the first draft would make one fine Shaky pic! 

OK...that makes sense, since one of the neatest things about the site is being able to communicate from home & the field! 

Thanks Kris & Carly!  I don't know why I didn't remember that...I remembered all about 2-timing Windwhistler, but not that Tiago was his son...hope he doesn't take up that habit too!

!!! 3 EGGS!
March 28, 2010 - Toronto - Sheraton Centre
Linda Woods Reports:

An extended visit to the Sheraton nest ledge confirmed the band numbers of the adults, Black on Black, 29 over H, for Tiago and  Black on Red, P over T, for Rhea Mae.

And long after my camera battery gave out on the “stand-by� mode, Tiago finally moved off the eggs to reveal 3 eggs. Rhea Mae was quick to return to her time incubating. Tiago didn’t waste anytime leaving the nest ledge. Just like his dad.

Observation for Toronto - Sheraton Centre

Does anyone here know Tiago's ancestry?  It seems he's a local by Linda's comment.

I peeked in just in time...Rhea Mae & Tiago & 3 beautiful eggs!

Good catch!

You know, I've been watching the Sheraton all day...I knew she had to have another egg under there...but I was aggravated with the bright light, so I shut it off.  Then I read Carol's post & decided to try again...opened it up to Tiago on the eggs & Rhea Mae arriving on the other end of the ledge...next frame was this one!

Nice page-feels a little cluttered to me, though (just my opinion)-maybe the frame could be widened a bit? 

I peeked in just in time...Rhea Mae & Tiago & 3 beautiful eggs!

Wesley hatched this afternoon!  What's with all the male names Max, Pattison, Austin and now Wesley. ???  Molly has her wings full!

It's funny...you can't tell male/female names anymore...the only person I know named Austin is a girl!  And there was another odd one...can't recall right now...but at work there was a guy & a gal in the same dept with the same odd name...I don't get some of the names-or weird spelling of regular names...

Can someone identify?

It's Beauty...she's been there for quite some time now...

YEAH!  Main Cam's back!
