What's that you have on your legs?

Dot.ca visits the nest box (no food) and Beauty comes to check up on him.   laugh



They are almost as big as he is!

Good job Dot.ca! 



Looks like they have already doubled in size....

Pale Male is getting to be a pretty old bird at this point.
I remember the PBS documentary.

Looks like one of them almost got away.

That's almost.

We are about ready for hatching soon, correct?

Cool shot.   Protecting my 4 potential pigeon eaters, with a pigeon feather stuck to the side of my beak...

Lets hope that more than one of them hatches this year.

Since incubation has already started, I wonder if this one will hatch late?

This is exactly what Mariah did for Isaura.  Assisted her back to the Kodak Tower, gently nudging her from behind and below, lifting her.  Yes, there was physical contact between them.  This happened on my first Falcon Watch 10 years ago!  I will never forget it.   wub2

OMG, that was TEN years ago?
I remember as though it were yesterday, bawling my eyes out while reading of Isaura's accident  crying
We are all getting OLD!

I remember reading that story.   Yes, we are getting old.....

Oh, maybe they are not even "Lurking"!!    lurker It's 1/2 way through the week, where is everyone??

Some of us only get on the forum once or twice a week.   Cool place to find some birding news.  I used to be a member of GOSS when it was around.

I've been pretty absent this year and I do miss having young falcons (though that first week of fledging is just scared blue).  I really am not bothered by anthropomorphizing.  I probably lean in that direction at times.  Who knows what animals feel and think? 

This is the basic problem here.   As people we tend to assign emotions to animals.  I have some cats (house only, the only wild animal they get to catch are files).   Their emotions/wants/needs are VERY different from ours.

Having said that, one day a few years ago I had an office on the top of building 82 (Kodak research complex on lake ave).  Soon after Mariah got kicked out of her territory in downtown she started being a regular around the research labs.   One day, just outside my window, a pigeon exploded.   Mariah making a meal out of a flying rat.   Seeing that made me smile.

But that said, I think it is awesome that we have falcons though this one male- two females situation coupled with no babies at either site is perplexing and sad.  It is just absolutely awesome that we know where so many of our M/K offspring are.  I only wish we would know where Mariah is.  I miss her like crazy.  And Kaver, who I miss and wish was banded

Last I saw of Mariah was several years ago now.

That said, the one wonderful constant is the watchers and that makes any gathering (whether it be in a parking lot or a restaurant) really fun!

To me, this is the cool thing about this list.   We have a neat little community.  I just wish I could participate more.   I've been lurking on this SIG (and previous versions of it) for at least 10 years now.
