Happy Birthday Shaky!

Hope you have a wonderful day!

 

Haven't heard anything since Jan C's last post.   I'm sure Linda would let us know if anything happened.  It's so hard to watch in Toronto and they certainly don't have the number of Watchers we have here in Rochester.  and the buildings are so high!

7:26am MAK: Archer on 3rd Ibeam N side OCSR. Beauty on bottom FCT. Callidora just flew through over me...Man, she is a BIG girl!!

Really glad that MAK saw all three.  I had a hard time finding them yesterday afternoon.

Hi,
Posted his question in the wrong forum.
But I was wondering why the 'Falcon Watch' pages on the BLOGS menu wasn't getting updated.  That's where I've been looking for updates, instead of having to go through all of these posts.
Thanks.

Hi Kimbered.  Most of the Watchers have been out for long periods of time and it's hard to find the time to leave a Falcon Watch Report.  To get the most up-to-date information, check out the "Tweets" under the Falcon Watch section.  We're all trying to send tweets from the field reporting what's happening as it happens.

I had to test the calendar too.

It worked.  Coincidence that his birthday is two days before yours?  I think not!   

Tester is used by me to test modifications to the Forum.

and he has a birthday.  How nice.   

We were treated to a visit from a mysterious falcon who flew in from the north.  This was followed by Beauty and Archer flying down to check things out.  No aggression but definite watchfulness.

I may be off the wall but I'd like to think the mystery falcon was someone we all know coming to pay a visit to  Her watchers the ones she remembers oh so well.   

Joyce checked her pictures and she said it was definitely not Mariah.  This bird was very dark, possibly a sub-adult.  The Falcon that Kathy O and I saw at KP last week was definitely an adult female with Mariah-like coloration.

Thanks for the great time, Rochester!

Wonderful slide show of the falcons you saw this weekend - they simply are so gorgeous - will be happy to see Jemison back flying with them - have they decided if she is female or male?
I appreciate everyone's taking pictures of them, some great photographers among you all -

Congrats on your first post Phyllis!   

I spent all day editing pictures and preparing a video.  I doubt many of you will be able to get the full effect since I don't have the rights to the music.  But I can put it up on YouTube briefly and then take it off before I am arrested.

Anyway, you will let me know if you can't get this:

I'll put the pictures up on the Kodak site shortly.

Awesome screen show Bonnie!  and you even included Buddy!  LOL   

Loved the music selections.

Oooooh!  Aaaaaah!  Archer visits the nest box!  WooHoo!   

Thank you all for coming to Rochester to visit with Archer, Beauty and Callidora!  New birds and a new place to get acquainted with.  It was so nice seeing old and new friends that share our love of these magnificent creatures.  You all make this such a warm and friendly place to visit.

Thanks for letting us know that you've arrived home safely.  I hope that you'll all be able to return next year.   

Take care,
Carol P.
