Boring?  Falcon Watching?  Nah.  If watching these falcons for hours on end, sitting, flying, sitting, eating, sitting, copulating, sitting, sitting, sitting & more sitting.  You get the idea.  Lots and lots of sleeping.  It is not all action.  Although that is mostly what would be reported in a Watch Report, if there was any.    

All the Rochester Watchers watch these birds out of love and respect and admiration.  Many Watchers do not report on the board, don't even have a computer.  Other Watchers will report for them if possible.  I & others report all our sightings.  I don't have much time to post official reports, like I used to and I'm really glad that MAK does.   

So who thinks that Falcon Watching is boring?  Not me!   

I never knew the falcons would stick around the nest box once the hatching season was over.  When might they start thinking migration for the year?

Even after fledging & before migration they will frequent the nest box to strengthen their pair bond.  Migration depends on the bird.  The males here seem to do the migrating while the females stay year round.  The males seem to leave in late September or early October and return late February or early March. 

There sure hasn't been much pair bonding between A & B lately-at least not visible here. Wonder if he's bonding with her over at KP? BTW-any recent sightings of him lately?

No bonding between A&U that has been witnessed.

She's beautiful!   

By the time I got there, she was gone from the nest box.  Not sure where she was between then and when she finally landed on the jail communication tower.  Always good to see her.

Why thank you Donna!  That was very considerate of you.      

Your welcome! Ya know I had to! 

Yes, I knew!   

  It's Gloria's Birthday! Happy Birthday Gloria!

Why thank you Donna!  That was very considerate of you.      

She's in good, caring hands.  Heal little one and be free.   

Beauty visited the nest box for a short while this evening, while I was down below watching her.

She's in a good place, getting the best of care.  Be well S2.

WanderingFalcon (Carol P.): Found A on the jail twr. He took off heading east. I was right on his tail! Found both A&B on top of HSBC side by side talking. All 3 safe!

They were both sitting on top of HSBC a few feet apart on the south side vocalizing.  100's of Crows were Kawing and flying nearby.  Beautiful evening.

HELP MEEEEEEE!

Now falcon watching season is REALLY over.

Hey!  That's what I was going to say!   

The Python code itself may be entered into a text file, stored in a database, fetched from an HTML page, parsed from an XML document, and so on.

Pilfering from Yarak's private library?   

(actually the first FULL sentence is...) Helmut was relentless as he continued proposing while wining and dining me for the next several months.

Helmut sounds like a few Tiercels I've known.
