The Great Backyard Bird Count starts tomorrow! Join in if you can!

Just click on the link above to read all about it!

Thanks Alison! I know this location is always earlier than Rochester, but this does seem very early. Thanks so much for posting these pictures and the link to the site. So many falcons to watch, so little time. 

Both Beauty and Dot.ca are on the Kodak Tower. DC on east side netting and Beauty above him on launch pad.

Looks like Dot.ca could use some snow shoes. 

Saw the evidence of the visit. Footprints in the snow. 

Very impressive!

Very nice digs! 

So who did you see at the nest, Carol and Carly? I missed any visit this afternoon; did not get back until much later.

I only saw the back of them Alison so can't really say.  Here is the screen capture I took.

The falcon never turned around.

There's a falcon on the nest ledge now. 4:15 pm.

Gone at 4:55 pm. Saw only the back of the falcon the whole time.

He does look a lot like Kaver!

Very good news! 

It's the weather that's making things even more challenging and another wave of arctic air is set to come in later today so back to the deep freeze by nightfall.

I'm not convinced RM is gone yet Carol.  Now whether this other female is coming in when RM is not around is another story .  Given we haven't seen Tiago - perhaps when RM is out hunting she sneaks in or has this female replaced RM and Tiago isn't warming up to her yet?    I didn't see the King female close up, it was through a scope and she was all puffed up but I don't recall seeing speckles, she seemed more white to me but I'm not very strong visually even with a scope.  *sigh*

I really appreciate that you're there Carly. I am definitely not giving up on RM&T. 

My vision is not as good as it used to be either. lol

We'll be getting another arctic blast tomorrow also. I am so ready for Spring! 

I have to agree Carly. 

The question is - is she just coming in from King St and poking around while RM and Tiago are out?  And why is Stormin not here is this is the King female?  Have both RM and Tiago being displaced?  I know changes happen when a long time female (Erin) is lost and the two territories are so close but it would be weird if both were suddenly gone.

One thing we know for certain, change is inevitable. But, we'll need to keep watching to see what happens.  Thanks Carly, Alison and Linda for keeping an eye on this nest site. Wish I lived closer.  

I have to agree Carly. 

Falcon in the nest tray now. 9:09 am.
Gone when the camera refreshed!
