So glad she finally showed herself.  I looked for her for over an hour and 1/2 and could not find her!  She is a sneaky one.  Dana looked for her too.

Quite incredible!  Thank you.

I really like this, thank you Bobbie!
I think it's an idea for a contest or something for our group.
greetings Aafke

Sounds like fun Aafke.

Thanks Joyce!  Very nice pic of Beauty.   

Was just thinking, it rained and inside the nest is dry!

Maybe Santa gave us an early Christmas present. I noticed that the nest box now has a backyard, and in it is a great big tree with a swing on it.

Miracles do happen!

[Sunday, January 1st 2012 at noon]

Another year has flown by!  Literally!  It has been an odd year for us here in Rochester.  But even though there were no young falcons to watch grow up to fledgling or grace our sky, we have a lot to be thankful for.

The Watchers were able to spend some time helping out our friends in Buffalo and Canada on their fledge watches and were involved in two rescues in Buffalo at Central Terminal.  We were able to travel over the border into Canada and witness the banding of Rhea Mae's, Linn's and Quest's young ones.  We even visited Stormin's new nest site where he took over caring for the young that hatched there.  For those that don't know, Stormin is Rhea Mae's son.

On Sunday, January 1st 2012 at noon, all of the Rochester Falcon Watchers and Rochester Falcon Fanatics are invited to gather near the intersection of Exchange and Broad, below the falcon nest box high on top of the Times Square building for our annual toast to a successful 2012 Rochester Falcon season.

To all our falcons fans around the world, please feel free to join us in this toast.

Here's to a successful year for our Rochester Falcons Archer, Beauty and Unity.  May there be fluffy eyases to watch grow up.  Let there again be young Peregrine Falcons gracing the sky above Rochester, NY.

Wishing all of you and your families peace and joy this holiday season!

Ridiculous!  They spoke with the owner of the house who was home at the time.  He said the guy never even rang the door bell.  Just dumped it over the fence.   

Highly anticipated each Christmas. Here's 2011.

A touch of brilliance

I want to know how he reaches the pedals.

Obviously he has an accomplice. 

Love the moth greeting Janet.   

Kelly's Quest greeting is also beautiful.  You can even make out a bit of the magenta harness vest. 

Thanks Janet & Kelly!
