The Falcon spiders were out in force while we were working at the nest box!

Big Frank wanted me to share this video with everyone.  Good job!

Caught the RIT Bear on FNC last night (Shep does love these bear stories).  As for the Poconos and bears, those mountains are loaded with them.  I don't think anyone has bird feeders out up there any more.

Saw this too Janet.  He does love his bear stories.   

Thank goodness for the lady who stopped to protect this young one from traffic.   This could have had a very bad ending.

Because those that matter...
don't mind...
And those that mind... don't
matter."
 
 
 

So happy that this ended well for the young bear.  No one was hurt and he'll be taken somewhere safer than the middle of a college campus.  Good job by all!

You are correct.  BAS = Buffalo Audubon Society.  I find it very bizarre that they would not be interested in their local Peregrines and nest sites.  I may be wrong, but I thought they took over the cameras at the Statler bldg.  Why did they bother if they have no interest.

As we know here in Rochester, the Fledge Watch is very important.  With so many nest sites in Buffalo, they should be busy looking for volunteers to watch out for these young fledglings.  Again, I don't get it. 

Ok I pledge $100.00!  Check is written and will be mailed ASAP!

Thanks Lynne!   

Burlington is not that far from Buffalo.  Have to wonder if he ran into the pair at the Burlington Bridge, which is right next to a very busy raised highway.  Plus I've heard there may be a 2nd pair in Burlington more in the city, while the Burlington Bridge is on the edge of Lake Ontario.

Fly free soon Frightful!

!!! Frightful Recovering
October 14, 2010 - New York - Buffalo
Frank Butson Reports:

This just in…The Owl Foundation,has a visitor from the United States! Meet “Frightful�, a young male Peregrine Falcon recovered in Burlington. Frightful is recovering from road rash and severe bruising to the underside of his right wing. He’s still very sore, but is enjoying the space and quail he’s receiving in his flight training complex. Frightful was banded at Buffalo Central Terminal this past spring.

Seems to be doing some what better...Get well soon Frightful!

Hahaha!     Love the graphic Donna!

Yeah, looks like a pretty nasty day tomorrow.  Nor'easter coming up the east coast.  Weekend looks ok though.

Donations are certainly ALWAYS welcome!  Thanks!

The reason this camera is on our wish list is because it's an older model and harder to find.  So, if anyone has one sitting around that they're not using, we would welcome taking it off their hands.   

I just wanted to bring this back up to the top in case anyone missed it.   

Lou,

 
Thank you

Greetings Carla
