Happy Birthday Mardean.  Hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Happy Birthday Linda!  Hope you had a wonderful Birthday!

Congratulations MAK!   

100 posts for me!  I've fledged!  Now let's hope I don't crash!   

Good for you Pat!   

Snow is gone but it looks like RM is home. Was watching when nycbird PM'd me that RM was at the nest.

Hi Rhea Mae!   

We also saw him fly into some nearby trees and snatch an unsuspecting Starling from one of the branches.  Quite an impressive hunter.  

Love to see "our kids" doing well.    

I've never seen a peregrine do that. He's got to be good.

Paul - The four of us couldn't believe it.  At first we didn't realize he had really caught the Starling until he flew back to the Central Terminal with it clutched in his talons.  Quite amazing. 

I got some, not the greatest since my camera's been acting up.  I'll post when I get a chance.  Dana was there, so I am hoping she will share some of her pictures.

He is really doing great and he's gorgeous Ei, truly gorgeous!   

He looks great in the 2 shots you posted-thanks!

he looks fantastic ...he does his daddy proud

and his momma!   

Kathy O, Lisa McK, Dana and I took a trip to Buffalo to spend some time with Diamante at Central Terminal.  Both Diamante and Gleig were home and I was thrilled when Diamante stooped directly over me!  That boy can really move!  lol

I love to hear he's doing so well! Did you get any pictures?

Great pics, Dumpsterkitty!

Someone just paid a short visit to the nest:

               

Thanks for posting these pics Alison!   

It seems like a very strange pose for a peregrine, living or dead, to be in. The proportions seem strange -- where is the tail? -- and there seems to be a light spot on one of the wings. It also seems wider than I would expect a peregrine to be.  It's a mystery.

Paul

All the watchers that were downtown believe it is a peregrine.

After finding Beauty eating on the Widow's Walk, and letting MAK know where she was, we (Kathy O, Lisa McK, Dana and I) went over to get a look at the bird on the Cross Rds Bldg.  Dark tail and yellow feet for sure, but I cannot be 100% sure it is a Peregrine.  I'm not saying it isn't a Peregrine, it may be.  I hope it's not.  This is just my opinion.  Guess, we'll all have to wait and see.

Very happy to hear that Pigott and BST were seen today.  Thanks for checking on them MAK!    

June Summers posted this over on Facebook.  Apologize if it was already posted somewhere.

"Audubon's Project Puffin and Explore.org are using the cameras on Seal Island National Wildlife Refuge, Maine, to watch the seals and their pups instead of the Puffin since the Puffins have gone south for the winter. This camera is way cool."

The cameras are off right now, but they'll be back on a 7:00 am.

I talked to BFaye today and she's doing great, but hasn't been on the computer much at all this past year or so.  It was good to know she's doing well, she's such a nice person.  Thought I'd pass it along being she hasn't been on here for a while. 

Thanks for letting us know Nora.  Glad to hear that BFaye is doing well.   

So happy to see one of Rhea Mae's little ones doing well.   

A Very Happy Birthday Mirta!

Hope you had a wonderful day!
