I think I remember,it was Martha Eberle 2002 , or if I´am wrong it was Lawrence O´Heron 2004.

Greetings Carla

I know Carol P used that "swearword" a lot, down by the Ped Bridge.

It wasn't me.   

No, in your reports you would say you saw the swearword creature down by the gorge. Not that you said the actual swearword! I swear, this is confusing.

LOL Donna.  I knew what you meant.   

I'm DUH!!

I do remember the video Carol posted and I loved it ,and what I read in her reports about the groundhogs.I enjoyed it.
About Martha and Lawrence ,that's what I searched for in Shakymons messages.

Greetings Carla

Boy are we desperate for discussion topics.  But this is fun.  And Linn P is still turning over in her grave that her namesake is the butt of the discussion.  LOL. NJ Fish and Wildlife is loving this one

 I was so busy watching the peregrines I almost stepped on a ground hog.

I was reminded last week that we used to call ground hogs "swearwords" here. Five points to anyone who can come up with the name of the person who originated it.

Was it Jim P. I seem to remember a video of him a long time ago. And from then on they were known as "swearwords"

Ok.

No, it's your 50th birthday Shaky.  You should say who it was.

I really don't know. I'm 99% sure it was Martha, but I don't have the original Birdcam discussion board thread from 2002.

and I was pretty sure it was Linda B aka Plant Lady.  If I remember right, she called them (Groundhogs) that because of the holes they left in her yard.  Every time she tripped over one of the holes, she called the creature that left them a "swear word".  Maybe I'm not remembering right.  Hmmmm.

Scarborough- yellow pages - All 3 young were seen
July 23, 2011 - Scarborough - Yellow Pages
Ann Brokelman Reports:

Yellow Pages

Stopped in at 12 noon.  Heard one screaming while in the car.  Young female soared right by me - see attached photo.  Male joined her in flight.  Both headed to the photo buiding and dissappeared. Total quiet within 5 min. I stopped on my way home from shopping 5:00pm to see the male with the yellow band sitting right on top of the yellow pages screaming.  So all 3 were accounted for.  No sign of any adults.

Scarborough Yellow Pages - 3 young dare devils
July 24, 2011 - Scarborough - Yellow Pages
Ann Brokelman Reports:

At 6pm  I saw 1 adult and 1 juvenile at the building at Markham and Neilson. Within 5 minutes the male juvenile was off with the female juvenile following him.  They darted across the road towards the photo lab.  Flying so fast it was hard to keep them in sight.  Over the road again and towards the 401.  Back and forth they went.  Looked behind me at the yellow pages building to see the third juvenile sitting at the peak of the building. He was screaming and screaming for food.  I then noticed the adult had left.  At 6:30 you could hear all 3 juveniles screaming and the race was on to the fitness centre to see what mom had brought. The one male got the food and the other two sat on the ledge screaming.  Suddenly the male with the food took off with the other 2 juveniles following again.  He landed on the hotel.  So did the other ones.  The last I saw of the 3 little screamers was them flying around the temple on Markham Road. They were flying from one top to the next.  Man are they fast, beautiful and fun to watch.  Ann

Boy isn't it great to hear about juvies tearing up the sky even if we can't see it ourselves? They sooo capture your heart and then find a place deep within your soul!  A true love affair!!!

When I first saw that beautiful picture that Mark Nash took of Linn, I caught my breath and thought, wow! she's the spitting image of her mom, Mariah.  I wasn't the only one.  Most of the Rochester Watchers I spoke to couldn't believe how closely they resembled each other.   

When we went to Scarborough to witness the banding of Linn & Rueben's eyases, we were amazed to see that Linn also had Mariah's split wing tip!   

The last time I spoke to Mark, I asked permission to use his picture.  I had an idea, a compare picture of Mariah and Linn and I had the perfect picture in mind to use.  It took me awhile to find it, but I finally did.

I sent the compare pic to Mark and he was stunned.  He loved it and had the picture posted in the Scarborough Yellow Pages section of the CPF website.

Thanks for creating this Carol!  It's uncanny how much Linn looks like Mariah!

And for those who haven't mastered enlarging CPF thumbnails...

[Donna]

I see the resemblance!! Good job Carol!
