BB may not have helped out due to the eggs being so close to the two Tiercels.  Her concern seemed to be to keep them safe.  Also, the two males seemed to be in a wrestling match, both on their backs.  Neither wanted to move to give the other the upper hand (or talon in this case).

Unbelieveable!  Thanks for sharing that with us Sage.

We ended the nite a little after 9 pm.  It was very dark and we could just make out Archer on the SW corner of HSBC.  Larry and Cleo had just left when we heard juvie acking fill the air.  It seemed to come from the top of the Xerox bldg.  While Dan and I scanned the top of Xerox, Kathy yelled out that Archer had taken off.  He flew past Xerox heading west.  Kathy lost sight of him and we could not verify where Callidora was.  It was too dark to continue the Watch, so we all headed home.  Tomorrow is another day. 

Hello Beauty!

Archer and Beauty in the nestbox.

Thanks for the morning report MAK.  Glad you were able to see so much Falcon activity this am.

2. biting, cutting, mordant, bitter, derisive, ironic, sardonic.

and why is the Fringehead considered to be sarcastic?  What does a fish have to do to be called sarcastic? I guess they do bite.  But what caused them to be bitter?  Did they lose a loved one and now they're just plain bitter?  I don't think they cut their food, since they don't have any hands to hold a knive.  Although they do have big mouths.  Maybe the other fish make fun of them and that's why they are bitter and sarcastic.  Hmmmm.  Things to think about.    

You're right Carol. Maybe they have every right to be sarcastic. Poor loveless, no-knived, big-mouthed, picked-on fringeheads. 

Hey wait a minute. I think I'm a sarcastic fringehead.

Lou

Hey!  That's not true!  We love you!

Most of us watchers are in agreement that she looks bigger than Beauty. We often joke about it.

Well, you were there when I first laid eyes on her...I think it was something like...OMG!  She's HUGE!!! 

She's not as big as the original Peregrine Falcons from the Kodak Tower.   

Fingers crossed that a bunch of you will be able to photograph and video his release. 

Does anyone have an idea if he would be released out of state (like Maryland or Virginia for example)?  Or depending on the season, would he be released "close enough" but "far enough" away from Rochester?

Haven't heard anything about how or where a release would be done.  Of course it all depends on how well Jemison does in the flight cage.   

Speaking of Huge NASA Balloons, how about this video of a cute little kitty cat:

I get it!   

Sorry.  Leaving.   

Hey! Whole stole my topic? This is the Sarcastic Fringehead topic, not the freakin' Mink discussion topic. For crying out loud, go get yer own topic! We're talking more 'mink' than 'sarcastic fringehead' here because of you. C'mon - who did it? Fess up.

Lou

My, my, my.  You're being very sarcastic.   

May this incredible Osprey mom have fair winds beneath her wings to carry her safely to her wintering territory.  Safe journey!  

That is VERY cool on several points:  The Mink - most people wouldn't recognize one of those varments in the summer; that was a good-sized fish!

Yeah, the man fishing from the bridge was very envious!
