Buffalo Falcons News - 2017

[Carol P.]

Lisa McK, Kathy O, Dana and I spent this rainy day in Buffalo checking out their nest sites. This what we saw.

Central Terminal: Two falcons were very active there. Hunting, eating and doing a whole lot of flying. They visited the nest box, but didn't spend a lot of time there. Pretty sure the female was banded with a black over black band. Probably Gleig with a new mate. Could not tell if the new male is banded or not. Probably no eggs yet.

University of Buffalo: Two falcons seen. Male was carrying food. Female had full crop. Could not positively ID as Yankee and Dixie. Spent a lot of time at nest box and on tower. No way to know if they have eggs.

Statler: There was an event this afternoon, so we were only able to stop for a quick look. One falcon was at the nest box.

Richardson:  Two very vocal falcons there. Lots of flying and spending time at their nest box. Possible eggs.

All seems to be peaceful at the Buffalo nest sites.

Thank you so much for your excellent report, Carol. It's good to know that everything seems calm in Buffalo.

Carol, thank you so much for the report! And given the location of the Statler, weekends can be brutal trying to find our birds! I went last weekend and got totally messed up in all the St Patrick's Day traffic jams. 
Did you check the old Holcim, now CHR? That site is perfect and has a cam but so far, no activity.

Hi Sage! Hope all is well with you.  

I'm afraid we didn't have a chance to check out CHR. Next time.

It was our first visit to Richardson. Boy are they a vocal pair!  

We were happy to see both falcons on cam at Statler this morning.
