Linn on Ped bridge after fledging.

Linn from Rochester New York is back at Scarborough Bell nest Site and has found a friend. They are in full blown courtship mode!!
May 13, 2009 - Scarborough - Bell
Mark Nash Reports:

It appears that the adult peregrines on site at Scarborough Bell building were more than active today to say the least!!  After hooking up with Marion and Bruce on site in the late afternoon and  early evening after a flurry of telephone calls from Marion to hurry up and get there with the camera, I was blown away by the amount of observations that that that the two had witnessed.  The adult pair were observed in full courtship mode, with at least 8 copulations having been witnessed in less than three hours.  With lots of vocalizing, and many short flights with the pair in and out of the hack box on numerous occasions.  While the adult male never gave them a real good look at his leg bands, the adult female did, exposing her Black over Green band,  91 over V.  After checking my e-mail communication from our good friends in Rochester from last year, it appears that the adult is non-other than Linn, produced in Rochester New York at the Kodak nest site in 2007. She was photographed and observed several times last year with an adult male also wearing a Black over Green coloured leg band and a pinkish /purple coloured USFW band,, both at the Scarborough water tower and the Bell building.   While the photos I have are not the best and were taken after all of the best action had finished,  it does show an decent view of Linn as she appeared from the inside of the hack box.  Look for Marion’s report


The last to fledge in 2007. I remember that so well. She just laid there and watched the others.

What is it with Canadian males servicing two females????

Joyce

Checked on his background on the site and Rueben is/was an American born tiercel.   Maybe it's the Canadian beer  

The male at this nest site is named Rueben, and he is from the nest site at the Busch agricultural complex in Manitowoc, Manitowoc Country, Wisconsin. He was banded on May 9th, 2003, and has a black-over-green band on his left leg

That's too funny.  Here I am accusing Reuben of being Canadian.  Canadian beer...Busch Complex.  Must be some connection.  So once the male is confirmed, we might have a US pair residing in Scarborough.

!! Yellow Pages Has Four Eggs!! Linn from Rochester identified as the resident female!
May 05, 2011 - Scarborough - Yellow Pages
Tracy Simpson Reports:
Marion and I attended the Yellow Pages site today to follow up on how the nest at this location is progressing. At last visit, there were two eggs on the northwestern ledge that the territorial pair were attending to. Today’s check in revealed that two more eggs have been added to the nest scrape for a total of four. While attending the site, Marion and I were both carefully inspected by the residential pair and we were able to get not only pictures of the two adults, but firm identification on their band numbers as well. The resident female is Linn, hatched in 2007 in Rochester, New York and banded Black 91 over Green V.  The male is Rueben, banded Black 43 over Green M, hatched in 2003 at the Busch Agricultural Center in Wisconsin.

 

Linn spent a lot of time back in Nov. 07 - Jan 08 at the old CPF Scarborough Bell hack site and was unsucessful in producing eggs with Rueben in the summer of 2009. Rueben was also the resident territorial male at the Yellow pages nest site during this same time.  We will continue to check back in with this pair and follow the progress of this nest. I will also be posting pictures of the adults once I have had time to resize them so check back soon!!

I truly hope that Lawrie is ok.  That she is flying free and taking a break from raising young.  Be safe Lawrie where ever you are.
