Both A&B at Nest Box for just a moment at 8:30 pm.

ORB = Orange Railing Bldg - the section of the building below the chute that Lady Pefa and friend are landing together and ee-chupping.

Ya ya ya ya ya!  It's Luigi's BDay today!   bguitar  WOOHOO!   

Hope you're having a great Birth Day Lou!

 

Dot/all,  We're trying hard to get pictures that will allow us to ID the Tiercel hanging out with Lady Pefa.  So far, they have been too far away from where we park to do that.  We cannot get any closer.  This is Kodak property and they have been very accommodating, letting us park where we have a view of the area.  We'll keep trying.  I too hope it's Mr. T.

If they choose to nest here, and we don't know for sure that they will, I think it may be a good choice for a nest site.  All we can do right now is keep watching their behavior. See where they go, what they do, how they react to each other.  No copulation has been witnessed between them yet. 

OK, I'm making up names of locations at KP as I go.     The structure below the chute on the bldg just east of the blue building we're used to seeing LP on has orange railings at the top of it.  Hence ORB aka Orange Railing Bldg.  This may actually be an elevator shaft, but we're not sure. 

Both LP and her friend have been landing there frequently and vocalizing, ee-chupping loudly.  Will this be the area they choose as a nest site?  We'll keep Watching.

WanderingFalcon (Carol P.): 2 pefas at KP. The pefa on the still flew to the ORB. The 2nd flew in & landed. ee chupping filled the air. 1 back on the still.

But what will they nest in or on? Will the DEC put up a nest or is it too late?

Hmmmm, Kathy O's tweet didn't make it to the forum.  She has had multiple sightings of Lady Pefa and her friend this afternoon at KP.  No pictures yet.

Someone of you has known Cabot-Sirroco?

I watched C-S a little bit, before I became an official Watcher.  He was a gorgeous Falcon and a good mate to Mariah.

Midtown Plaza - Going, going, almost gone.  An almost nest site for Mariah and Archer, then Archer and Beauty.  Watchers witnessed many a coming and going of Falcons at the Midtown Tower, which is the only section of Midtown that will remain in the future.

Good job Jeanne!   

A little bit of A&B bowing at the nest box.  I was down below watching when they both flew into the nest box and started ee-chupping.

Love this song.  Love Judy Garland.  RIP Hugh Martin.   

Dorothy laid her first egg on Sunday (3/13).  Looks like Beauty will have a new brother or sister soon.   

Kathy B sent me the link to Kate St. John's Birdblog.  Be sure to go down one blog post to see pics of Dorothy with her first egg.

I had to laugh at the appropriately named onrithologist at the Smithsonian.

"said Carla Dove, ornithologist at the Smithsonian's Feather Identification Lab in the National Museum of Natural History."

Very sad situation.

Ahhhh, now I get it.  Just curious.  Thanks MAK.

MAK! What a busy morning you have had. (As have others we know and love...)

Was someone else out with MAK this morning?

Carol, I think Bobbie meant Archer and Beauty as others. It was just me and our falcon friends as far as I know.   

Another visit this morning!

Really wish they had better cameras there.  Thanks for posting these pics Ei.
