Thanks for sharing this good news Alison!   

Thanks, Lou. I see the names now.  I recognize most of the names but Kathleen Rogers and Brigitte Dublin aren't familiar to me. Are they members of the Forum?  Don't recall ever seeing their names or postings unless they're going by a different name on here. Anyone know them? Congratulations to all.  I'm really waiting for the Falcon calendar though.  Is there a chance it will be ready for Christmas orders?

That's what we hope Kris.   

It was an AWESOME day Jeanne!  It was so nice seeing everyone.  Seeing those unbanded Peregrines hunting together was so incredible.  Such teamwork by an obvious pair.  

Thanks Bonnie!  Hope you and all your little ones are doing well.

It doesn't get much better that today's outing.  It was a cloudy day, but still mild compared to what it could be on a late November day.  I'll take it!

Many thanks to MAK, Joyce, Donna and Jeanne for their kind comments.  Glad you all took the time to read the report and check out my pics and video.  

Due to personal complications, the "Falcon Calendar" is taking a little longer than we had hoped for.  But, we are working on it and hopefully it will be made available soon.  It will be a little different than our past calendars, but I think you'll like it.  We had a little help from our Canadian friends on this one.   

all indications are that A has headed south and is sunning himself on the sands of Cabo san lucas and
or the sands of No. Africa--see you in the spring Archer old boy--i can't figure out where Unity is--best quess Newark---and Beauty--staying home just waiting for all these nutcakes to return-----Do you think any of this could be true?? please respond :

Agree Archer has migrated to wherever he migrates.  

Beauty & Unity still on territory.  Both are still being spotted at their assigned locations.  

Then we have the pair wintering pair south of the city (RPC).

Going to be an interesting Winter for the Watchers.  

Happy Birthday Nora!

Rochester falcon watchers on the pedestrian bridge had a similar experience a few years ago during a photo shoot at the High Falls Building.

Yes we did!  Glamour models with hot sports cars.  The cars were awesome.     

Looks like Quest has been sticking close to home the past week...

The cluster toward the right is the Tam O'Shanter golf club & park.  I'm pretty sure that was one of her favorite spots when she first arrived in that area.

With all the high rises, it's probably a good hunting spot.

She was definitely hanging out in that area before she settled.  This is one of the areas that Kathy O and I checked out.  Lots of tall buildings for her to hunt from.

Yes you did!

It's ok.  Lots of rain coming tonite.

Look up in the sky it's a bird,it's a plane no it's a UFO

No, It's USAir.

Oh, there sure are UFO's over downtown Rochester.  Lisa McK and I saw one over Kodak Office one Summer evening.  Ask her!    

Genesee Brewery will be demolishing Skye's building to build a new brew house/visitor center.

I've been reading about the plan to demolish the building and the controversy about the decision but didn't realize it was Skye's building. 

I heard about this.  It makes me very sad.  I truly wish that they could save this building.  It really is beautiful.  Not only because so many of our Peregrines landed there.  It's the last place I saw Mariah before she moved out of the downtown to Irondequoit.  She had caught a pigeon on top of that building and was enjoying dinner.  So many memories.   

This was Rhea Mae and Tiago's 2nd clutch.  That was Stormin's year.  He's on the far right of the line-up.
