OK...I've collected all the suggestions and put them together in alpha order. All comments and suggestions for other entries are more than welcome!
___________________________________________
A
Archer Resident tiercel Rochester, NY since 2009 (hatched 2006 in Port Colborn, Ontario). Mariah and Kaver's grandson. His father is Freedom (hatched 2002). He was a mate to Mariah for a very brief time in 2009 before pairing with Beauty
anthropomorphizing
attributing human characteristics, motives, and emotions to animals; a favorite watcher activity
B
Beauty Resident falcon Rochester, NY since 2009 (hatched 2007, Cathedral of Learning, Pittsburgh, PA) First seen with Zephyr (M/K's offspring) in the winter of 2009. She then fought Mariah for territorial dominance in downtown Rochester in 2009.
BBRR
Braddock Bay Raptor Research Hawk watch and banding station on the shore of Lake Ontario
BL
Bausch & Lomb Building in downtown Rochester, NY; occasional perch
Cabot-Sirocco
Hatched in 1997 to Victoria & Pounce-Kingsley in Toronto, ON. First mate of Mariah (1998-2002)
CB
Charbay Peregrine falcon seen at Charlotte, NY & Irondequoit Bay
cere
Fleshy part of the upper beak containing the nostrils
CMNH
Cleveland Museum of Natural History Forum where we followed Seneca (Rochester, NY 2008) and her nest with Cheyenne in 2010
CPF
Canadian Peregrine Foundation Our neighbors to the north who keep watch on many Rochester offspring residing there
ee-chup
a sound of affection. Heard often with the adults
eyas
newly hatched peregrine falcon
falcon
female peregrine
FCT
Frontier Communications Towers Favorite perch. This is across from City Hall. A/B seemed to bring their fledglings there. Calidora (hatched 2010) used to frequent the tower, screaming for food from her parents.
FF
Falcon Flakes The dedicated watchers who keep an eye on the peregrines no matter the weather
fledgling
A young peregrine after it makes it's first flight
GVAS
Genesee Valley Audubon Society Sponsor of Rfalconcam
HSBC
building across from Xerox A building in downtown Rochester. Often, A/B areseen there at night. It is across the street from Xerox. A/B will consistently perch on certain columns of the Xerox building at night.
IB
Irondequoit Bay Large bay on the shore of Lake Ontario
Jail Tower
Communication tower on the Monroe County Jail building. A favorite perch.
kakk
if done in a hurried manner, can be an alarm call but regular kakking can also be done for attention
Kaver
Wild hatched. Second mate of Mariah (2002-2008) Known affectionately as QTP2T. An extraordinarily faithful mate. In 2006 when Mariah was injured he successfully hunted for her and the newly hatched eyases.
KO
Kodak Tower original nestbox site and birthplace of close to 50 peregrine eyases
KP
Kodak Park Ironically, where Mariah had been seen for awhile after she relinquished territory. It is a few miles down the same road as Kodak Tower. Lady Pefa is on one of the buildings of that complex
LP
Lady Pefa Peregrine falcon with a purple midwest USFWS band residing at Kodak Park.
M&K; M/K
Mariah & Kaver Resident peregrine pair 2002-2008
Mariah
Peregrine Falcon matriarch-- first falcon on Kodak tower (1998). First mate was Cabot Scirocco (1998-2002), then with Kaver (2002-2008). She spent most of her time at Kodak tower until the nestbox was moved to Times Square in 2009.
Mercury
Statue across from Times Square Building across the road from Times Square building. Favorite spot of A/B. Seems to be the statue they prefer for mating and eating purposes.
Midtown Plaza
Going, going, almost gone. An almost nest site for Mariah and Archer, then Archer and Beauty. Watchers witnessed many a coming and going of Falcons at the Midtown Tower, which is the only section of Midtown that will remain in the future.
NB
Nestbox Manmade box with gravel substrate used to simulate the peregrine's preferrednest site of a gravel ledge on a cliff face
OCSR
Old Changing Scenes Restaurant. Properly the First Federal Building place where falcons seem to go but not for mating or nesting. Mariah and Kaver (M&K) used to store food in the elevator shaft of that building. This is still used for those purposes by Archer and Beauty. Fledglings in 2010 also would go there with their parents.
Orville
A round white stone from the original scrape on Kodak Tower that was often mistaken for an egg. During the long days of waiting for the eggs to hatch the stone was given the name Orville. When the nest box was moved, Orville was taken to the new nest box where he is proudly overseeing the newest generations of Rochester Peregrines from the back left corner
PC
Psych Center about 3-5 miles from Times Square. We have seen Pefas there through the years (including Zephyr in 2009). Again this winter, 2010, two have been seen on that building. It is privately owned so viewing is restricted
PF or PeFa
Peregrine Falcon
Powers Building
Another nestbox site after the box was removed from Kodak. Birds have been seen near there but the nestbox has not been used.
RFC
Rfalconcam The place that brings all the falcon fans, both on the ground and on the internet, together!
RFW
Rochester Falcon Watchers
RM&T
Rhea Mae & Tiago Rhea Mae (Rochester, NY 2006) is nesting with Tiago at the Sheraton Centre in Toronto, ON
scrape
Peregrine falcon nest; the depression scraped in the gravel to hold the eggs during incubation
Seneca
Hatched in 2008. Nested in 2010 with Cheyenne at Brookpark Rd. Bridge near Cleveland, OH.
tiercel
male peregrine
TS
Times Square Building new site of nestbox, used by Beauty and Archer
USFWS
US Fish and Wildlife Service Issues the sequential numeric bands used in bird banding. On peregrine falcons, the band color often indicates the region the bird was banded
wailing
used by eyases/fledglings when begging for food. Adults will also wail when laying on eggs to indicate change from one adult to another
Wild Wings
Rehabilitation center and sanctuary for injured and unreleasable birds of prey
