Whoever it is just got knocked off by a juvie...you can see both birds...one by the wall and the other by the cam

Probably Beauty...

Rats! I was somehow thinking that someone might turn up at the nest box today! Ya got me, Ei! 

Shaky pointed out the barred front-probably a juvie

Probably Beauty...

...sigh...at least he's flying now...

I haven't seen Sandy at the nest since July 15. Maybe someone else has?

That was the last I saw her there

Beautiful sunset!

What is the 19th Ward? Is it in Rochester?

It is a neighborhood in Rochester-I'm not familiar with where it exactly is.

Quick flight from one side of the platform to the other



It's always fun when the cam catches an action shot!

Thank you so much for the information and pics, Dumpsterkitty. That is very useful and much appreciated.

I wonder if the CPF knows if there is a suitable location for a nest box, and whether the building owners would be amenable to this.

I think they have considered it in the past but there really aren't any other good spots if I recall correctly....lots of sloped glass at the higher elevations. I believe the building owners have been very involved & cooperative. And they've been successful every prior year.

Linn just picked a lovely cliff with a choice of 8 spots that wasn't ideal for whatever reason this year.

I am sorry to read that Linn and Reuben had no chicks this year. I am not familiar with what the site looks like, but am wondering if there is a reason why they have never been given a nest box? The new nest boxes CPF has installed at a couple of sites this year look as if they provide good protection. How can I help with providing one for Linn and Reuben?

I think one of the reasons for no nest box is they never know which ledge Linn will choose. I'm not sure how large the ledge spaces are either.

Each side of the building has 2 small corners with gravel where I have placed the big pink arrow below...that's where she nests



I think she has used a different one several times. There is a small overhang on each one that does offer some protection...she's part way under the overhang in the pic below.



Hopefully just one more part of the very odd year it's been all over.

 Sunday Spot Check at Yellow Pages
July 14, 2015 - Scarborough - Yellow Pages
Bruce Massey Reports:

This past Sunday I went out to Yellow Pages in the morning for a quick check in on the adults before the heat of the day moved in.  I found both adults on the nest building and both were very active.  After about 10 minutes, the two went on a hunt to the south and shortly thereafter the female returned to the Yellow Pages building and the male flew over to the floodlight over Wynne Fitness.  The female then flew over and landed on the top of the Investors Group building so I re-positioned for a better look.  By the time I was set up the male had already taken off on another hunt attempt but the female remained in place.  I was able to get the scope on her and read her band number.  I can confirm that the female is still Linn donning a black 91 over green V band from Rochester, New York. The male did not return for some time and the heat was coming on so I packed it up with plans to come back and confirm the ID on the male.
