The "Potter"  boys are doing well....running in and out of the nest...flapping. 

[~Sage~]

Those little Rochester kids are so adorable I can't stand it!   

I was away from the blog for a few days so I put up a lot of pix today, UB, Statler and Kestrels!  And news about their names!

Ohhhh...could be some competition! Sorry. Now come on, who wouldn't want to hang out with a Hagrid!

We have plenty to go around!  And promises of more next year from our two territorial pairs who are likely not nesting this year...unless there are nests yet to be located!

Nice family...great pics.Thanks

  How many can you count?  4-5-6?




And one of the CT kids came out to look around!  Stash and Stella were also on the tower.  Banding probably Wednesday.

[Joyce]

I definitely see more than 4.  Counted 5 in each pic...but could there be 6?  Can't tell for sure.

?? I counted 4 in the 1st pic and I think 5 in the 2nd. So many.... Good luck with fledging sage.

[~Sage~]

   Yes, I now think five with a possibility of 6.  When they were smaller, we just could not really identify five for sure so rather than say five, we went with four, figuring if there were more, all the better!  These parents really have their hands full!  Roger got more pix today which I'll blog later but that may tomorrow.  It was very hazy today.  The Statler birds are very big now and hanging out on the flight deck, wing-flapping and looking ready-to-go!     

Construction crews were demolishing that triangular thingy in front of the convention center, below the nest.  Between the haze and construction dust, optics had a time of it today.

UB's Potter boys are also so big and dark brown, with barely any white on their heads anymore. 

[~Sage~]

Today we can count four, and if there is a fifth, it's hiding.   Look how big they are!  The one on the right isn't even on the flight deck, but on the long perch!    They are getting ready to broaden their base of operations to soon include more roofs!


The triangle thing between the Statler and the Convention Center was demolished today.  Will the Statler be next?
