Up from her nap...

STRETCH! And looking out on her world.

Sandy is napping in the nest tray. I wasn't sure when I first saw her preening but the beige tail-tip is a dead giveaway.

And I was reminded just how hard it is to see a peregrine falcon on the FCT.

There are 2 in this picture...



and the cropped version...




This is Genesee...

Excellent! Thank you Alison!

I'm home at last!

I got a bit sidetracked on the way out of town. MAK had left to see a friend and Joyce & I looked around Seneca Towers for a bit. She said she was going to cross the river to look from the other side & I was headed down toward home. I was going to swing through DT on my way through. I pulled into the brewery lot & there's Joyce! She had changed her mind.

So we went out on the pedestrian bridge & spotted a bump or 2 on FCT...so off we go to there! I spotted one heading west.  Then we found one bump...then drove around the tower and found 2 more bumps! Genesee was the most visible. Beauty & Cadence were hiding in the rafters. As we drove around we found Brian. Then back to FCT. I was glad we took the detour...I hadn't actually met Genesee this weekend except as 2 juvies talon tagging.

I had a wonderful time. So glad I got to spend time with everyone! Pictures to follow...

Gassing up & on my way! Woo Hoo!

Ei

Sorry for the change.  But, we thought it would be best to meet at the pedestrian bridge.  From there you have a wide view of the downtown area.  Hopefully we should be able to see them from there and of course it would be wonderful if they came into the gorge.  If they are hanging out somewhere, we can move to that location for a closer look.  We were also afraid that the dinosaur show at the Convention Center would cause a problem with parking on the Broad St Bridge.  Can't wait to see everyone!  The weather should be wonderful!

No problem!

I'll be leaving directly from work...hope to get out before 1...so probably roll in around 6. I'll be following tweets so I'll find whoever is out!

 

YUCK!

The good news is the weather should be beautiful for the weekend...

Looks like someone tried to knock DC off FCT!

(movie)

Well there's at least 2 of them today! Silly birds hiding in the rain...

Thursday update...

Moving to the west end pedestrian bridge at 8AM. I know most of us will be out on the bridge earlier than that.

We will be tweeting & posting any changes in location, but I know some people can't access stuff on the road. Last year I set up an email account rfcwatcherweekend@gmail.com ... if you might miss a tweet or post & you'd like to send me your cell number I can send a text if there's a change in location. Unless your # changed, I have Pat C., Lukka, Bonnie, Lynne & Bob, Diana, Kat, & Kris G.

Still need to hear from Larry

Something has come up so unfortunately not going to be able to make it Sat. Hope you all have a wonderful day of watching our great pefas!

Well phooey! I was so looking forward to meeting you. If you're able we'll be watching into the evening & Sunday too.

I am planning to come.  Can't wait!

Wendy

Excellent! Can't wait to see you again!

Since the juvies are spending more time in the gorge, I'm thinking a better place to gather would be at the west end of the pedestrian bridge. People can park on Mill St., Platt St., and Browns Race. Additional parking is available at the High Falls garage.

They seem to me to be around TS...FCT...WW in the morning & the gorge in the afternoon. Maybe start with breakfast by the Library & head over to the gorge once the sun starts beating us up.

Any thoughts are welcome!

I do apologize-after reading Carol's watch report I realize this wasn't a question and the decision was already made. Guess I better update the event...
