Most of you have probably seen the wonderful news that Archer returned to Rochester this morning.- Many of the Watchers gathered to see Archer and Beauty renew their bonds with each other at the Times Square nest box.- It was a wonderful day.

Boy, for the short time he was home, they covered quite a lot and did quite alot!

Archer even showed Beauty the elevator shaft on the Old Changing Scenes Restaurant.  This is where Kaver and Mariah stored their leftovers and it looks like Archer will do the same.

love the Mercury landings.   

I just read this and realized that I (and a few others here) am old enough to remember the Mercury launches

Maybe we can get NASA as a sponsor.

Try again, Donna!     Believe it or not, I remember every one but Allen Shephard's first launch.  What a tiny little capsule!

What great news, Carol!  I'll keep checking out the OCS restaurant whenever I'm on Mill Street.  At least we'll have a small part of Mariah & Kaver here.

I’m on the 10th floor of the Times Square Building and my office faces east, so I have a great view of their comings and goings. Yesterday I got to my office at around 9:00 and there was quite a bit of activity for the following few hours; I saw a group of watchers on the Broad Street bridge. Today they’ve been flying in and out, making quite a racket. Right now they’re sitting on Mercury, one on the head the other at the base.

When they fly to the next box they always seem to zoom right by my windows. Once in a while it looks as if they’re headed straight at me, then veer up at the last second, giving me a great show. Other times I see them carrying in a meal. Hard to believe they can fly while holding a pigeon.
