Just to clarify, here's the scoop on Erin and Windwhistler.

PHEW!!  Hope that helps to sort it all out!!  Very confusing at times but that is the straight skinny on the pair.

Thanks for the full scoop!  It's amazing to me how many families are linked together! 

Couldn't decide...

Cool!  LOVE the talons opening!

Hatch date is approaching! Earliest estimate is 02/15.

Meanwhile, Dad arrived & tried to convince Mom he needed a turn on the eggs. 
She wasn't budging.  She knew snow was coming!

     

51 Candles lit for Beauty!! Thanks all, she needs it right now!

AAAAccccch! Trying to light one but making a mess of it! Someone do it for me???

Done!

For those who may be wondering...we're watching Bausch & Lomb with Xerox behind it.

Thanks, Falcon Flakes, for being out in this to report in to us! 

I can say that CarolP believes Tuesday was the last time she believes she saw Beauty for sure. She along with Dana,Joyce and KathyO are at my house right now. Beauty is now and will be in good hands. It is thought that there was a territorial battle at some point which led to Beautys' injuries. That's all I can say at this time. There will probably not be any more news until next week when the DEC or June Summers gives us an update. I don't believe the crow business has anything to do with it.I have a candle lit by a framed picture of the Beautyful one. Please pray for her everyone!  

Thanks for sharing that, MAK.  Hugs to everyone there!  

I shouldn't have brought up the crow thing, I apologize.  I was just thinking out loud.  I always think of Beauty as being such a strong girl but I should know better, life is not easy for any of our peregrines no matter how big and strong they may seem to be.

Don't apologize-I'm sure many of us were thinking the same thing.  I didn't want to leave it unanswered but at the same time I don't want to go off on a tangent without more information.  

I know they were doing it in 4 different locations , at least thats what I heard on the news but I don't know where they were

We have to remember, Beauty was near all the Fireworks not too long ago and on the 4th of July, so she was pretty used to loud noises. Who knows what happened to her. It's just a shame.

Like I said, I'm not speculating that it had anything to do with what happened.  They see fireworks all the time and don't ever seem bothered by it. Just praying she's OK.

I know they were doing it in 4 different locations , at least thats what I heard on the news but I don't know where they were

According to the reports they were starting around Mt. Hope Ave (south-south west from Times Square). All the pictures & videos I'm seeing are from the Corn Hill area with the bridge we see from cam 1 in the background and OCS, Bausch & Lomb  and other downtown buildings just behind that.

What about this crow scaring program that just started?  Was it near Beauty's nestbox or in her territory at all?.

OK-not speculating-not commenting-just providing a picture for the question.  Beauty's usual night time roost is on the Xerox Building, center of the map.  That's where she was found.  If I recall correctly, one major crow roost is in Manhattan Square Park.

Times Square is the marker on the left with the bird on it.

do we know when she was last seen definitively?

I saw this yesterday on the streaming video page.  



I looked through the still archive & didn't see her. Could have been a quick stop on Mercury. I'm leaving a message there.

Holy "As the Falcon Turns"!!!!!!  

Well, I'm back to where I was this morning!   

It does reach a point where I'm about ready to join you! 

Woohoo great news and great work Frank and Tracy on finally confirming the ID's!! 

Yes, excellent detective work!
