That's too bad it's not live this year Donna.  Beautiful pictures though.   

One of Louisville's expert birders invited folks to come to his family farm a few years back when conditions were perfect for watching birds migrating across the moon.  There had to be a full moon during peak fall migration, and the moon had to be low on the horizon during a reasonable time of the evening.  We sat in lawn chairs with our scopes pointed at the full moon, watching the birds that were visible against its bright face.  This guy is enough of an expert that he could identify many of the birds just from their silhouettes...I didn't have a clue!

That is so cool Patti!  Must be wonderful to see.   

Beauty on Cam #4 at the nest box just before she left for the evening at 7:45 pm.

Very good news!

I don't know other than Rochester, NY, but a beautiful picture.  ??? Who used to take great hawk pictures in a cemetery, it was a long time ago.  I've been down here 4 1/2 years already and think I still lived in MN.

Lou took the hawk pictures in Mt. Hope Cemetery.

I remember the ones from Lou, but I was thinking a gal took some before that and am drawing a total blank on her name.  Nancy something MAYBE?

I don't recall those...

It was Nan G.  I run into every so often.

Or maybe on a hunt.  Unity was a night hunter.  So is KPT.  Maybe it has to do with the bright lights at KP.

Thanks for posting this Donna.  Never forget.   

Happy Birthday Debbie!

Sounds like you had an aweseome day!

 

Happy Birthday John Carlos!

Hope you had a wonderful day!

Miss seeing you and your mom.

 

Thank you Donna, Ei and Jeanne for posting these wonderful pictures of Rhea Mae and Tiago.

Long movie-but you can see Beauty moving on the right-against the framework above the cube

Yep!  That's exactly where she was for almost 4 hrs before she left just before 8:00 pm to go to her nighttime roost on the south side of the Xerox Bldg.   

Kind of figured that was going to happen.   

Love those pics of Rhea Mae in the rays of sunlight!   

Thanks Donna for capturing them!   

Maybe Orion will run into those 2 girls from Buffalo and have some 'singing' partners to travel the world with  

Pefas are not song birds.  

"Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best."

Henry Van Dyke

[hmmm...may have found a tag line...]

Pefas may not be song birds and they may not normally live in the woods, but they sure do add a most wonderful sound to the sky above us for all who choose to enjoy.  The cry of a young Peregrine, no longer heard by those listening, is a loss to us all.
