Shaky named Grissom, but what did Grissom name?
The answer is in Chris (yes, screech owl Chris) Johnson's blog post for July 8:

Grissom was such a tiny Tiercel. One day Mariah brought in a pigeon and Grissom came up to meet her to grab it. This happened over the Kodak parking lot on the south side. Two things were not in Grissom's favor that morning. Grissom was too small and the pigeon was too big. He dropped it in the parking lot and landed on a light pole above it, crying his little heart out. Mariah had landed on top of the ramp garage on the east side of State St. The parking lot of empty of cars thankfully.
She watched, she listened and took off! It was Watcher weekend and there were quite a few Watchers out early that morning. Mariah flew low over the parking lot, skimming the pavement. Her talons dropped and she grabbed the pigeon, gaining altitude, barely flapping her wings.
Mariah headed towards Frontier field, Grissom hot on her tail. She again passed the pigeon to Grissom, who then tried so very hard to hang onto it. It wasn't to be. He dropped the pigeon a 2nd time. This time it fell inside the Frontier Stadium. We could only imagine where it landed!
Grissom landed on a light pole in Parking Lot D, on the west side of Kodak Office and Mariah landed on Bldg 20. Grissom cried, Mariah watched. There was nothing she could do. The pigeon was lost to them.
Grissom then flew up to Mariah, crying, hungry. She was not happy. She actually chased him around kaking and then they both settled on one of the buildings.
Moral of this story? Pigeon too big for tiny Tiercel!

I love that story. I have repeated it several times as an illustration of falcons training their young. I forgot that the second time the pigeon fell into the stadium!!! I would have loved to see that!

I think you got a picture of Grissom on the light pole crying-I seem to recall spotting it while browsing for map pictures.

Oh Pride!!!!!!! She was a bit before my actual watching time but we always refer to her rock!!!!
Since we "name" landmarks for our peregrines, do we need to rename the jail for Callidora
