Good morning watchers!

From our FB page...this photo was taken yesterday from 691 St. Paul St. Rochester, so a bit north of the DT core but south of ST. Looks like a juvie peregrine. Hard to tell size without any reference points, though.

Thanks Ei! We'll keep our eyes open.

Sandy is confirmed again this year!

Peregrine Falcons Southeast Michigan
 
Update: Whittier Apartments, Detroit ? Local volunteer, Thyme Warner was able to identify both Peregrine Falcons yesterday. She confirmed that it is the same pair as last year. The male is Fryer (black/blue, 43/C) who hatched in Flint in 2016. The female is Sandy (black, Y/97) who hatched in Ontario at the Toronto Sheraton in 2015. Good job, Thyme!

Happy Easter!

I went downtown for my yearly Easter Sunday morning falcon watch. I found Nova on the Frontier Communication Tower. First time I've seen a falcon there in a long time. It was a quiet and peaceful watch.

Here are some pictures from today.
