Thank you again, Rochester hosts, for a wonderful Falcon Watcher's Weekend.  It is always a pleasure to reacquaint with everyone.  So glad I got to see the Seneca Towers falcons!!  Pictures are coming.  On the way home I had an adult bald eagle flyover in Windsor and saw one of my juvie eagles making its way across the pond where it was raised.  It was a quick trip home.

Yes, pictures of Cadence on the rail are coming.

Glad to hear you got home safely. You're welcome to join me again at Seneca Towers to watch the falcons any time Bonnie. Good to see you!  wave

I'm home at last!

I got a bit sidetracked on the way out of town. MAK had left to see a friend and Joyce & I looked around Seneca Towers for a bit. She said she was going to cross the river to look from the other side & I was headed down toward home. I was going to swing through DT on my way through. I pulled into the brewery lot & there's Joyce! She had changed her mind.

So we went out on the pedestrian bridge & spotted a bump or 2 on FCT...so off we go to there! I spotted one heading west.  Then we found one bump...then drove around the tower and found 2 more bumps! Genesee was the most visible. Beauty & Cadence were hiding in the rafters. As we drove around we found Brian. Then back to FCT. I was glad we took the detour...I hadn't actually met Genesee this weekend except as 2 juvies talon tagging.

I had a wonderful time. So glad I got to spend time with everyone! Pictures to follow...

And I was reminded just how hard it is to see a peregrine falcon on the FCT.

There are 2 in this picture...



and the cropped version...




This is Genesee...

I'm glad everyone is home safe and sound, and glad you got to meet Genesee, Ei.  He's a handsome young fellow.
