Falcon Watchers' Weekend, 2011

[Patti from Kentucky]

Make sure to take some peanuts and sunflower seeds and take a stroll through the paths at Mendon Ponds Park...I've managed to get chickadees to feed from my hand even on my summer visits.  I just walked around until I heard chickadee(s) calling, put my hand out and waited patiently...not as easy to do when the mosquitoes are biting!

Good point, Patti!  Dan S always carries peanuts and the chickadees love them!

Thanks for the tip!  Just need to remember to put them in the car!

MAK and Ei - for some strange reason, I am off this Friday, and I would LOVE to meet you at Wild Wings.  I have never been there  -  even though I don't think I live all that far away! 

Wild Wings might be a possibility but I can drive myself!

Cool!  Once we firm up a time we'll figure it out!

I loved Wild Wings, I had the Junco's eating out of my hand. I was thrilled.

Would love it if there was some get together Saturday! Let me know, OK? I can't drive to Buffalo though.

It would be great to see you!

OK...so far...Wild Wings on Friday-they're open 10-2, exact time TBD. So far in my car, me & MAK. Maybe Jeanne & Margaret will meet us there. 

Joyce has graciously offered to schlep me to Buffalo for a fledgling fix on Saturday, again, time TBD.  I was thinking maybe we could figure out a place to meet for dinner Saturday-nothing fancy-just a time & place & whoever can get there can get there...

Now if we could just get the transporter beam working for Bobbie ...

I would love to join you all at Wild Wings on Friday.  If Terry knows we are coming, I'm sure she would try to arrange for us to see Tory (Peregrine) up close and personal.  I was there this spring with a group from school, and it's pretty amazing to see those wings and her eyes so close.  Also, they typically have small bags of sunflower seeds available for purchase to take on the Bird Song Trail.  You might not want to count on it, but it's good to know if you can't get peanuts. 

It sounds like most will be in Buffalo on Saturday, but if anyone is looking for a relaxing, informative experience in Rochester for a few hours, here is an idea:  A narrated trip down the Genesee River and Erie Canal on the Mary JEMISON, docked just down the street from the Times Square Building.

Ohhhhhhh! Thanks, guys!! Sounds like one fun weekend comin' up!

[Bobbie Ireland]

That cruise sounds wonderful, Carrie. We have been on the canal on the Sam Patch - great fun - but never the river. Must remember that for the next time. Yup - one fun weekend!

Cool!     Do you want to ride with MAK & I or will you get there yourself? 

I'll have to look at the Mary Jemison schedule later...see if I can squeeze it in somehow...

[carrie]

Thanks for the ride offer, Ei.  I have a very direct route to Wild Wings, so it'll be easier for me to meet you all there.  Just let me know when!

Yes, please post what is going on for Saturday in Buffalo, time and location.   Don and I will try to meet everyone there. 

Hope to see you all Saturday!
