Whatever it is it was eating the same seeds as the mourning dove from yesterday

Did you see that? She GAVE me a piece to give them. She likes me...she really LIKES me!

Tandem lunch...kids don't know which way to turn!

I think MAK's right.  I took a look as I was heading down to Hot Rosita's to grab lunch, and it looked like some of the last of the feathers flew off.  I think DC and B need to do some housekeeping up there. 

Better up there than the nestbox.  I have to say Beauty and DC are pretty neat compared to others we watch on cam like UB for example.

Most of the meals here are pretty well plucked clean before they get to the nestbox...and that corner of OCSR is a favorite prep-kitchen.

They're both neatniks...one pair of wings & a couple of heads is nothing compared to Quest!

Wow that went fast!

6/3/2013  ::   All falcons fledged
On the morning of Friday, May 31st, the yellow-banded male was the first fledge. After a few short flights, he landed inside a balcony on the 16th floor of the Rachel Carson State Office Building. He was later rescued and released onto the roof.

Over the weekend, the blue-banded female was rescued and taken to the Red Creek Wildlife Center because of exhaustion and dehydration. She has recovered and will be released onto the building later today.

The other falcons--white-band and red-band are making short flights around the building. DEP Environmental Education staff, interns and volunteers are coordinating the Falcon Watch and Rescue Program.

Speaking of taking care of their building... it didn't look like this the last time I was inside.

   

Me neither Joyce. That's the work of some excellent maintenance people! 

is that now? WOW!

There is an area below the reservoir with an aeration pond that's cooler but not as picturesque. And you can fish from row boats with a permit.

You take the best trips! Thanks for sharing them with us!

Thanks! It is very pretty & serene but WAY hotter than I expected. There was hardly a breeze despite all that water. The road used to be open to cars but was closed after 9/11. You are looking at the NYC water supply!

Beauty's feathers looked a bit odd when she came back. I just figured it out-she's wet, particularly her underside. She must have taken a bath.
