We definitely needed a score card for this weekend.  Dana also got pictures of a juvie at BS from this morning. 

Wow! Two M&K Grand-Eggs in one day!  WooHoo!  Awesome News!

Congratulations Quest & Kendall!

 

WooHoo!  Congrats to egg parents Rhea Mae and Tiago!  

 

I watched her sleeping on the nest tray last night until abou 11 pm.  Just knew she was really close to laying her first egg of 2013.  

Thanks very much to Donna and Joyce for giving me a heads up this morning.  It goes without saying, I was very happy!  

Oh, and by the way, Rhea Mae does not like poutine.  Tiago does though.  

and Shaky absolutely loves Poutine!   

Take-Off!

Rhea Mae staying put at the nest tray.  Can an egg be coming soon?   

Thanks for the heads up NYCBird.   

Very nice pictures Mark!  Thanks so much for sharing.   

There has been a lot of questions about peregrine falcon reproduction.  This Imprints post from 2008 might answer some of your questions.

Happy Birthday Paul!

Hope you had a wonderful day!

 

Sorry to say that the city of Rochester is a one peregrine falcon pair city.  Unlike Toronto, the falcons in Rochester have a line-of-sight view of every building in the city and the surrounding area.  From the Times Square Bldg, Beauty can see the BS location.  In fact, Beauty came into the city from the BS location probably because she could see the falcons in the city.  From the Kodak Tower, a falcon can easily see Kodak Park and points north.  The buildings in Rochester are not tall enough or dense enough to allow another pair to use the city.  This is only my opinion.

Happy Birthday Lou!

Hope you had a wonderful day!

 

Happy St Patrick's Day, looks like daddy's home!

Oh, boy.  Looks like I need to head back downtown.

 

The giant pefa pellet float! Must be from Rhea Mae.
