Yep, and here is the moment, showing DC's "deer in the headlights" look

I remember well!! So cute!! I was just on my way to Rochester that day!

The same thing happened in 2006 with M&K. It was the first time an egg hatched under Kaver. He pulled an eggshell out from underneath him with wide eyes. That was the year that Mariah was so badly injured. Before that she was always on the eggs when they hatched.

The situation at this nest site is so sad.

Good news for Quest and her Mystery Man! 

Lily may surprise you Carly. She's staying tight on those eggs keeping them nice and toasty warm. 

We had a little bit of ice coating the trees yesterday afternoon. But it's gone now. Rainy day here in Rochester, but it should taper off this afternoon and then the winds will pick up. We're also under a flood watch.

Enjoy the day everyone!

Ice starting to form on the nest box!

Sounds bad Carly! Be safe!

Nothing much here, thank goodness. A bit of ice on the ground, but nothing on the trees. It is raining again now and the weather folks are saying we could get up to a 1/4" of ice by midday when the storm should end.

Put food out for the birds on an icy log in my yard and it is covered in birds! Last night 20 Robins joined my backyard Robin looking for worms. I assume they are migrating and very hungry. Saw my first Junco! Yay!  The Finch feeder is covered with small yellow beauties and the nyger seed is being drained. Found a dead Red-Bellied Woodpecker yesterday. So sad. Ok, I'm done! For now. lol

One more thing. Just heard the Riverrun Race has been cancelled due to the weather.

Enjoy your Sunday!

 

Just caught a quick view as adult stood and it looked like they have one egg!!

 

The Rochester area is under an Ice Storm Warning from Saturday at 2 pm and Sunday at 2 pm. It's just past 2 pm now and the temps are falling and it's getting windy. I filled the feeders and put out suet this morning. The birds and the squirrels are are in a feeding frenzy. Do they sense the approaching storm? I think so.

So, now the question is, will there or won't there be an ice storm?

Here's a good place to post your observations. Share what you see.

Take care everyone and stay safe!   

 

Togetherness! 

Nappy time! 

Watching and especially hearing a territorial battle is never easy. Once you hear that sound, you'll never forget it. Hopefully the young one has learned a valuable lesson and will move on.

Fly free beautiful falcon.

I REALLY hope everything goes well this year. 

I hope so too!
