There is a new box at Kodak Tower?

There was a box at Kodak Tower.  It was put up there a couple of years before Mariah used it. And it was taken down when construction work was started on Kodak (after the 2008 nesting season).

Someone of you has known Cabot-Sirroco?

[jeanne]

Dan S. one of the watchers, used to watch Cabot Scirocco and Mariah

[Penelope99]

Thanks Jeanne
Cabot-Scirocco is the first falcon who had interrested me

Wonder if Lady Pefa at KP does woo a mate this year there if the Powers Bldg box could be put up there?

Same here Janet. Think it was their 2nd year when I started.

Nice job Jeanne.  A Here are a couple of clarifications and additions:

CB = Charbay = Charlotte/Irondequoit Bay Falcon (sighted at both locations)
IB or Ibay = Irondeqouit Bay
KO = Kodak Office = Kodak Tower
LP = Lady Pefa = Kodak Park (KP) falcon from Ohio (possibly Unity from Toledo)
M&K = Mariah & Kaver
RFW = Rochester Falcon Watchers
RM+T - Rhea Mae and Tiago = 2006 daughter of M&K and mate


Organizations we commonly refer to...
BBRR = Braddock Bay Raptor Research
CMNH = Cleveland Museum of Natural History (Forum where observations of Seneca were documented)
CPF = Canadian Peregrine Foundation
GVAS = Genesee Vally Audubon Society
RFC = RFALCONCAM = Rochester Falcon Cam

I watched C-S a little bit, before I became an official Watcher.  He was a gorgeous Falcon and a good mate to Mariah.

[Shaky]

Don't stop yet. There are plenty more.

Kaver? Nest box? Scrape? Eyas? Fledgling? Orville? Changing Scenes? High Falls? Jail Tower? Braddock Bay Raptor Research? Cleveland Museum of Natural History? Seneca? Canadian Peregrine Foundation? Genesee Valley Audubon Society? Rochester Falcon Cam?

Would a newbie know what these things are?

Also, go through the tweets and the FalconWatch reports and pick out the terms that would be unfamiliar to a newbie.

Newbies? What about me?! I still get confused, not having clapped eyes on everything in person - perhaps, tho, it is a matter of retention...

T D and J for the G of the RFC. N.

[Dumpsterkitty]

Well, my brain is far too full at the moment to interpret N's contribution

But it gave me a thought-perhaps those who are finding it difficult to follow could ask which entries they would like to see in the glossary.  Many of us have been here so long now that we can't see where there could possibly be a question when it's clear as mud for a newcomer.
