Buffalo Falcon News 2011

[Joyce]

Would you believe it?!  MAK is on her way home from Arkansas by bus and what does she see around 4:15 today...a falcon flying above the Liberty Building (with twin statues) in downtown Buffalo.  She says, "Woohoo, my 1st one in 15 days! SWEET!"

Congratulations - that's a first watch report for Buffalo too.  That's a lot more than what Kathy O, Lisa, Dana and I found when we went to Buffalo on the last day of the year.  We came up empty handed at 4 locations.

Sounds like MAK saw the Statler pefa.  Glad to know a falcon's still out and about.

Actually, it was Dana, not me, that went on the last trip to Buffalo with you gals and I believe that MAK saw the Statler Pefa, not BB.  But who knows for sure.    

Really glad MAK and Sue made it home safely.

I KNEW THAT...(just testing). LOL!  Geesh...we've been on so many falcon adventures, I guess you were there in spirit anyway.  Oh yeah, I knew it was the Statler Pefa; must have had BB on my mind.  Must be the strain on the brain from not seeing any falcons this past weekend.

  Good to be back! Sometimes I just can't believe how lucky I am. I was just pointing out the building to Sue as our bus rolled into downtown Buffalo and out shot a falcon from nowhere. It must have been saying practice up MAK cuz there's 2 falcons at home to be found tomorrow morning! 

[Bobbie Ireland]

Told ya, MAK - a ceremonial fly-past just for you and Sue!

Right! That's enough of the Welcome-Back jollifications. Git yerself out there in the field and sort out dem falcons!

From GeneseeBirds-L Digest, Vol 90, Issue 28:

1-19-11 - McKay Tower, U.B. South Campus - 1 Peregrine on nest box branch at ~5pm.

1-16-11 - LaSalle Park -1 Peregrine calling while hovering & swooping around chimney top of water treatment plant - nothing else around.

(LaSalle Park is on the Buffalo Harbor where Lake Erie enters the Niagara River. Plant is at Porter Ave & Amvets Dr.  This could have been a Statler falcon.)

Well, since this is all about the Buffalo Falcons, this seemed the appropriate spot for it.

Kathy O, Lisa McK and I decided to visit Buffalo, NY today and we're really glad we did.  At the end of the day, we saw 7 different Peregrine Falcons.  Check out my pics and report here.  No sign on needed.

Enjoy!

With so many nest sites in Buffalo, they are going to need a lot of help on their Watches.  If you live in or near Buffalo, please consider helping out.  You can leave a message here or contact Sage.  Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.  Those young fledglings can get into so much trouble on those first flights!

Any U can positively ID from photos?
