I don't like the looks of this at all.  This nesting site has been awful from the beginning, and I just hope this remaining chick survives if he's not being allowed to move freely and develop normally.

He wants his baby over by the eggs!! 

Oops! I didn't realize there were 2 Carlas! In that case, many thanks for all your reports on the Rochester falcons.

Dot, I'd love to take credit, but your thanks for all my reports from other cams go to the OTHER Carla on the Forum!

During the 16th century, a rather notable amateur falconer named William Shakespeare became enamored of falconry. The playwright loved training birds of prey so much that he began adding falconry references to his plays.

That's unbelievable and a real disgrace!!! I hope they throw the book at those murdering youths, but I won't hold my breath.

Looks like the three youths who murdered 15 Laysan albatrosses and destroyed 17 eggs and 17 nests in Hawaii in December of 2015 may get off easy, unfortunately.

All great names! I was slightly disappointed that the name Marielle, which was my favorite, did not make the final cut. Can a non-chosen name be submitted again for another year?

Carol, here's hoping you have a very special birthday! And a million for all you do for our falcons and the forum!

An 80th birthday is definitely worth celebrating! Happy birthday!

[The African-Eurasian Flyway – one of the most important migratory routes in the entire world – runs straight through Lebanon, and it is here that the journey ends for around 2.6 million birds as they are felled from the sky by irresponsible hunters.]

I couldn't agree more! It's a great story but I sure hope Lebanon will stop the mass shootings of raptors so they are all safe migrating. The whole thing reminds me of the slaughter of raptors over nearby Hawk Mountain in days of yore, to say nothing of present-day Malta.

*This is very disturbing but what a GREAT LOVE story!! 

Just beautiful! I enjoyed the scenery and the grace and beauty of the falcons and especially liked seeing the varied nesting choices. for posting this.

That must have been a real treat for you and other birders in the area. Hope the visiting falcon does well and eventually finds his way back West.

Best egg-laying video I've ever seen even though it made me hurt! No wonder she slept afterwards.

Is it possible she has no brood patch yet, since she's laid no eggs? That might explain why she isn't incubating.

How wonderful to see this beautiful video again! Thank you, Lou!
