Good one Ei!  I like the still pic of the two of them in the nest box. Thinking about using that for update business cards.

There have been a few nice ones of them in the nest box-her crop looks a little weird in the 8:35 one

What is "Mute"?
   
Mute is the word for falcon excrement.  Shocked

What is a “Falcon squash”?  devil

 When the juvies need to take a break, they sort of just squash down on a ledge or rooftop for a while. You’ll see their wing tips sticking up. Don’t be alarmed - they are just resting.

What is an “Assist”?
   
I’ll use this term when an adult bird “helps” a juvie in flight. It could be the first flight or a subsequent shaky flight. An adult will fly closely alongside or underneath the juvenile to guide it. I have never witnessed body contact but I would assume it is possible. The adult will often try to force the young bird to a safe landing as it guides it either up or down to that spot.

Just in case!
     


Where did you find these?

8409  Rochester Falcons / Rochester Falcon Discussion / Fun memory photos on: 14-Sep-12, 09:21:15 PM
I'm browsing through my Flickr page looking for a particular photo from 2010. I haven't found it yet, but I did run into these of Rhea Mae by the distraction guy at the Sheraton Toronto banding in 2011.

      

Don't think I'd want to mess with her!



I suppose I should have put these in the offspring chatter section, but I think one spot for fun Rochester memory photos regardless of where they are now might be more useful...

Fair warning-some of these photos are hard to look at...

San Francisco earthquake 1906 & today photos by Shawn Clover

"After reading San Francisco is Burning, Dennis Smith’s superb book of San Francisco’s reaction to the 1906 earthquake, I got to thinking. What if I could precisely line up photos taken in 1906 with my own and combine the two together? I’ve always been frustrated by typical “then and now” photos because the photographer always seems to do a sloppy job aligning his ’then’ photos with the ‘now’ photos."

Volume one

Volume two

It's good for some things but Live streams, yes, it stinks!

Oh well! I switched to Firefox YEARS ago and haven't had any reason to switch...
