Anne and Nora.  I am so happy that the two of you finally got to meet in person.  Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.   

Seneca does look so much like Mariah.  She's truly beautiful.   

This is WONDERFUL news Mirta!   

Live long and prosper B-95!

Thanks for sharing.

She's gorgeous!!! Thanks for sharing this picture taken by Ken. 

Time for posting another compilation of tweets on the FledgeWatch blog?

Any volunteers?

I just posted a compilation of tweets and reports from today under the Falcon Watch section.

Luna, our wolf, died one month after her brother:

Any time I visited the zoo, I made sure to visit Nikko and Luna.  They were truly beautiful.  They'll be missed.   

When I left at 6:10 pm, Beauty had moved to Mercury's foot and Archer remained on the top I-Beam of the south side of OCSR.

Although this could probably fit under the General Nature section....

Before Falcon Watching, I volunteered for quite a few years, working at this site.  Long days, but lots of fun.  You never knew what would be dug out of the swamp land next.  I actually got to hold a Mastodon tusk!  Very cool!

Happy Birthday Dale!

Hope you have a wonderful day!
 

If true, Annette-you might consider modifying your post to eliminate the link - just to eliminate the possibility of someone in this forum accidentally clicking on it and getting crap on their computers. I believe the author can modify their own message after posting it.

I removed it.

I removed the 2nd time the link was posted.  All gone!

Brian and I drove around HSBC, but were unable to see Callidora.  She may have been up on the roof somewhere, where we couldn't see her.  I was glad to everyone and all three Falcons today.   

Thanks for posting the links to these albums Lou.  It's so nice to look at pictures from past years.   

Hey Lou!  Can you repost the link to your silly Watchers album?  You know the one I'm talking about.  I love that one and we could all use a laugh.   

There is always something to see if you just care to look.

Yesterday the Watchers were on the Broad St. Bridge.  It was warm, the sun was shining.  Beauty was on the base of Mercury and Archer was on the OCSR.  We wondered if it had been Callidora earlier on Mercury.  On our Watches, there is a lot of time to just think and watch the life around you.

It was concert night, so the bridge was busy.  Lots of folks in tie die shirts.  This band played Grateful Dead songs.  Brian mentioned the name of the group.  I already forgot.

While keeping an eye on A&B, we were also watching the antics of the gulls on the river below.  One had a small fish gripped in his mouth, flying around and screaming while being chased.  To me it looked like a really fun game of tag! 

The next thing we noticed was a gull below on the concrete.  He had something that he kept picking up and setting down.  He then picked it up and flew around, being chased a bit before settling down again just below us.

Now we got a closer look through our binoculars at what the gull had.  MAK was the first to say it looked like a crawfish!  and it was still alive! 

We watched as the gull quickly stripped the two claws and then swallowed the crawfish.  That's not something you see everyday! 

The river that runs through the center of Rochester is full of life.  It's a very special place.

Me too!  Love these posts.

There is always something to see.  Something to put a smile on your face.  You just have to look.
