A Tiercel Named Sabrina. Fly Free Valiant!

Sadly, we have to report the loss of another Rochester Falcon.  On Monday, January 23, 2012, a falcon was found dead on top of a school in East Aurora, close to Buffalo, NY.  The DEC was notified and they confirmed that it was Valiant, a Rochester Falcon hatched on top of the Kodak...

!!! Sad news to report from Prescott-Ogdensburg bridge nest site!
February 03, 2012 - New York - Prescott-Ogdensburg Bridge

CPF Postmaster Reports:

Well, the male peregrine from the Ogdens. bridge was found dead in East Aurora, N.Y., (near Buffalo) on the roof of a school. It appears he slammed into the heating unit on the roof and died from head injuries. Sounds like he may have in pursuit of prey and didn’t swerve when he needed to. It is so sad. He was only 5. It will be interesting to see what happens this season.   

Sorry to have to share bad news.
Take care,
Mary Beth

May 10th - 2012We have received some interesting news from Mary Beth in NY USA. She writes:I have good news,,-Zanar has produced four eggs in the nest box and has a handsome new mate, who has not been banded. The box was relocated to the US side last fall because of the deck project.The crew also added two sheets of 8×4 plywood in front of the box to allow for more walking room. I hope it helps. The crew will be checking for chicks next week.I’ll let you know what I find.Hope you have a great season.Talk to you soon.

This is bittersweet but I'm glad that she's found a new mate.
