Awesome series of shots of the food exchange!!!  Thanks for sharing!!!   

and that mass of buildings between downtown and the lake on the right side is Kodak Park, Mariah's hangout.   

None of that Kentucky fried poutine that Carol likes so much.

Happy birthday from Cape Cod.

Hmmmm, not sure how I can like something I never tried.  You on the other hand..........

Happy Birthday Nicole!!!

Hope you have a wonderful day!

 

I'm sure Mr. Shaky will be happy to come up there and make you some of his specialty.  POUTINE! 

Take care my friend.

I have some left.   

Archer visits the nest box.

It was so nice hearing from you Mary.  Rest and heal.  We miss you and hope you can join us again soon.  Get better soon. - Carol P.

Am I correct that no one has witnessed a kill by C.? I haven't had much time to read lately...
Has she seemed to be trying to hunt in earnest yet or is she still just terrorizing ducks and branches and things?
thanks. dale

Hey Dale - She's definitely learning the mechanics of hunting.  Besides all her stoops that have been witnessed on miscellaneous birds, I saw her go talons up on a small bird.  As if to say "excuse me, but please let me grab you, I'm very hungry".  Then she chased it around for a little while.  Since she doesn't have a sibling (at this time) to practice with, she's doing the best she can. Oh, and I saw her chasing a pigeon.

With the heat, A,B&C haven't been too active. 

Happy Birthday Susan C!

Hope you had a wonderful day!

Looks like Callidora on the base of Mercury, sitting in the rain. 

Looks like we have a visitor on the left side of the base of Mercury.   

A cold front moved through Rochester this morning.  In a very rare weather event (even for Rochester), heavy rain turned into a blizzard, catching early morning Rochester Falcon Watchers Dan and MAK by surprise!



 

What building is this....Xerox? Looks like a nest box above the door...(I know it's not)

Base of Mercury Statue in front of the 2nd Ave. Garage in front of Chase

That's actually the South Ave Garage behind the base of the Mercury statue.  Many Watchers, including Brian H. watch from there.

Dan loved to watch Kaver hunt early in the morning.  He would have a count of misses and hits by the time other Watchers would show up.  "Kaver had two successful hunts out of 29 attempts!"   

all you watchers, we haven't lost a falcon yet, well, except for the jail bird.  - Donna

Well, technically she wasn't lost.  She knew where she was.  We on the other hand misplaced her for a bit.
