2011 Pictures from the Rfalconcam cameras

Can Shaky go back and get Archive sound? 

No, unfortunately, I wasn't recording the streaming video at the time.

We had watchers on the street at the time. I'd like to know what they saw and heard.

MAK didn't get there until after 8, so she missed it. She did say B and T acting strange today. More vocalizing than usual. Right after that scuffle, whatever it was, B and T showed up at the nest. Of course, the one day I turn on LIVE stream early, I hear all this. I'm still not right over this. It was a horrible sound. To me it was right near the mic but not seen. At first, I thought one of the falcons chased a bird and it crash landed near the nest,the well area......then the fight started. Lots of flapping around, horrible noises, then it sounded like something flapped away...at this point, B and T were on Cam. I'm a big sissy when it comes to this and it's a sound I will probably never forget.

The Falcon I saw come off the KO Twr just before 7 a.m. was moving quick, heading SW, not directly towards the Times Square bldg.  Seemed to be after something, but I couldn't see anything.  The other day, I saw them kakking and diving on a RTH on the Kodak Bldg 10 and we know that there have been Coopers Hawks and Kestrels in the area.  So they may have gone after one that wandered too close to the TS Bldg. 

When I left work at 3:30 pm, two Pefas were on top of the TS Bldg sitting next to each other.  All was quiet.

Lots of e-chupping

Just a few minutes ago, I heard a crash at nest. Something was there, maybe in the well. Sounded like fighting. Not sure what it was but could not see on cam. Sounds like pigeon being attacked. May have been in the well but it was LOUD!! Then a few minutes later B and T showed up.

I've been away from the forum for a while and am wondering about Mr. T's history.  How long has he been around?  Is he banded and that's how his name is known?

Thanks,
Kathleen

He's not banded so no history to report, Kathleen.   He's been hanging around with Beauty for a while now.  The watchers just started calling him Mr. T...I think because it's easier to tweet than tiercel.  We're all hoping he's just a winter visitor and will move on before Archer gets back.

Donna,
That single pic of Mr. T. sure reminded me of Kaver.  I was trying to scare up
some links from the web of Kaver to put alongside of and the one that he was
flying in the gorge (2007 Imprints)--maybe someone can post it. I put them side
by side and am getting more confused.  He had that same look. Looking directly
at Mr. T.. I don't know; Kaver had the skinny legs, so, maybe not, but. . .just
maybe, he could've plumped up.  Does anyone have any 2008 last pics of Kaver to
compare with?  How wonderful to see all those close-up pictures of the falcons
posted today; they're so beautiful! Anyway, Mr. T looks like a good match IF
Archer doesn't return.  Hope all turns out. . .Christiane
