Canada Falcons: All but those hatched in Rochester

[Carol P.]

So all those pics of Stormin with "Erin", shading her broken body from the sun, was him actually protecting and mantling his prey?    

Well, he is Rhea Mae's son...

 Erin and Stormin are living on the west faces ledges of the same nest building. Yesterday 3p.m. food to the ledge. Both Erin and Stormin seen at the same time, on the same ledge. Both disappeared behind the dark, shadowy pillar.

If you take a good look at the photos that were posted on the CPF website, that is not a peregrine falcon the male was "brooding" It was prey. The colouring and feathering of the remains, does not match that of a raptor. These two have been very sneaky. We had a suspicion that they had moved the nest. The spot they have chosen is very tight to see. The behaviour I had been seeing was not of a predators in the area or anything else, but Erin was not in view at any time. Stormin was always seen, until I saw Erin on the top of high condo tower. Just had to get out there and follow her, to the west side of the nest building. Flights to this side of building is not direct but twisting and dodging other buidlings, and they don't always take the same route to get to the new nest. From what I have been seeing, I would not doubt that there is a hatch.

Didn't realize this was CPF's response to my question on FB..just saw it.  Thanks for posting!

!! Erin, Alive and well

Linda Woods Reports:

Taken today around 1:20p.m.  Erin! Alive and well. One can clearly see her bands. She and Stormin have been spending a lot of their time on the west ledges of 18 King St. nest building.  I have another image of both Erin and Stormin together.  Great news. I couldn’t believe that Erin had passed away. It just wasn’t fitting the behaviour I was seeing from Stormin. He was hanging out and close to nest building. This is why, Erin was still with him.

Now to find out if there is actually an active nest on the west ledges. More observations are being done, when time allows

Like Mark Twain, reports of her death have been greatly exaggerated.

What a relief! I've followed Erin/Mandy and her previous mate, Windwhistler, for years.
