From Kate St John on her blog

This news is a week old but I missed telling it while I was away in Florida.

Peregrine falcons are jousting for territory now that nesting season is only a month away.  On February 10 Rochester, New York falcon watchers reported that Beauty, the queen of the Times Square nest, was found injured on the ground near the Xerox Tower.  She’d been in a fight.

Beauty was taken to a rehabber and is undergoing treatment.  By now her wing no longer droops and the vet has confirmed that the vision in her injured eye is OK.  She just needs time to heal.

Meanwhile, Rochester falcon watchers are trying to determine who won the site from Beauty.  The new female is banded black-over-red with the same red “H” as Unity, a female who attempted to nest four miles away at Kodak Park.

If the new female is Unity, it would be a twist in the saga of Dorothy’s offspring.  Beauty is Dorothy’s daughter, hatched at the Cathedral of Learning in 2007.  Unity is Dorothy’s grand-daughter from Toledo, Ohio, making her Beauty’s niece.  Both of them mated last spring with Archer, Rochester’s resident male peregrine, but neither nest was successful.

Eventually someone will identify the new female peregrine at the Times Square Building.  Only then will we learn if this is another chapter in Peyton Place for Dorothy’s girls.

Is there any more news about Beauty?  What will happen if Beauty is releasable?    Will she be released in Rochester?  Even if she is released somewhere else as Mariah was, she will be back here within days as Mariah was.    Then what?

Margaret, I don't think anyone can answer your questions just yet. Beauty is suppose to have her blood work done today. After the results, maybe we will have more news on her. Just have to cross our fingers and hope for the best, for all the Peregrines involved. It's going to be interesting. Wish they would argue then leave unscathed but that's not what they do. Sad

There are still 105 candles burning for Beauty, but I see many are burning pretty low.  Keep the light on for her.

Nothing yet.  Now that Beauty is in the care of our friends at the DEC, we must be patient.  As soon as we get an update, it will be posted.
