A few of you had recently asked about Jemison's rescue back in 2010.  Lou put together this album of pictures documenting the rescue.  Lou told me that when his KGallery albums were moved to Shutterfly, some of the pictures were out of order.  So, if you're interested in checking it out, just click on the link below.

Thanks Lou!

You're so very welcome Lola! It sure is a long way up!! Xerox is the tallest building in downtown Rochester and HSBC is no slouch either. Thanks for commenting. 

just curious is it taller than the Kodak Office Building?  KO looks bigger (I know its not downtown)

BC,

The Xerox Tower is taller than the Kodak Tower.

Kodak Tower = 360 Ft
Xerox Tower = 443 Ft

A business is moving into Frank's spot in October. Orange Glory Cafe and Catering (http://www.orangeglorycafe.com) will serve breakfast, lunch, and of course coffee. It will have indoor seating and hopefully wi-fi. This would be a great place for watchers to stop in to get out of the cold and order something hot while using their smartphones to check on the cameras and Forum.

Well, if I had a smart phone, I sure would do that!     Coffee sounds good though.

WanderingFalcon (Carol P.): KPT at KP at the red door east stack. Gorgeous pure white front on this bird. Adult plumage.

WanderingFalcon (Carol P.): KP. Oh my goodness! This one runs like Orion. He ran to the left down the catwalk. Now in front of a ladder. Dana and Lou here.

so is this a different KPT then the KPT that has been there?

Without getting a look at the bands, if banded, there is no way to know if this is the same bird or not.  The watchers believe there may have been two Pefas here since Unity left that area.  I believe that I may have seen a female today, based on size.  This bird had a bright white chest.  Adult plumage.  Beautiful bird.  Hopefully, some day, we will get a positive ID.

Still close!

Come on everyone.  Let's help Nicole win this one for Quebec.   

    LOL

How cute it that face!!!!

Gorgeous picture!

[What is an “Assist�?]

What is an “Assist�?
   
I’ll use this term when an adult bird “helps� a juvie in flight. It could be the first flight or a subsequent shaky flight. An adult will fly closely alongside or underneath the juvenile to guide it. I have never witnessed body contact but I would assume it is possible. The adult will often try to force the young bird to a safe landing as it guides it either up or down to that spot.

This is exactly what Mariah did for Isaura.  Assisted her back to the Kodak Tower, gently nudging her from behind and below, lifting her.  Yes, there was physical contact between them.  This happened on my first Falcon Watch 10 years ago!  I will never forget it.

WanderingFalcon (Carol P.): Dana and I watched as B tucked in under the platform and did not vocalize as a juvie pefa circled above and then headed SE towards DT.

Can it be our Orion?

Hi Annette.  The bird was high above, so I'm afraid it was impossible to know if it was Orion or not.  I really hope it was though. 

Wow!  A really strange person walked by you on the BSB and it wasn't me!    Amazing!

lol Pat!     No, this person was REALLY strange.  Someone I have not seen before. 

Nice look at her bands.

And of her foot-looks pretty much healed!

It sure does Ei!  Thank goodness!   

[WanderingFalcon (Carol P.):]

WanderingFalcon (Carol P.): Oh and by the way, it is raining and the sky I have my eyes up to is dark and cloudy. Will check KP on the way home just in case.

Black skies and rain to the east (toward Rochester) and bright sun in the west= double rainbows!  Beautiful!

Very nice Kris!  Love those double rainbows.  Just gorgeous!   

Nice look at her bands.

Beauty keeping her eyes to the sky.
