Buffalo Falcon News 2012

Posted on Sage's Peregrine Place FB page today:

I am sad to share the following news item. The DEC was called about a dead bird on the Central Terminal roof this morning. It is thought to be Stella who may have suffered a fatal injury inflicted by Gleig or her mate during the site take over a couple months ago. She was not banded so a positive ID cannot be made, just an educated guess. So sad..

I'm so very sorry to hear the news about Stella.  I had sincerely hoped that she and her mate had survived and were still together out there perhaps at a new home.

Oh no, not Stella! How sad. What a bad year. I'm so sorry.  We were so worried about that with Archer, another sad moment.

  And the hits keep coming! Stella was another of my favorites! So sorry Sage...

I got my final shot of Stella on Mar 1.  The next CT shots were of Gleig and her mate who most likely attacked and forced out our original pair.  Our beautiful Stella had been up there on that roof since early March, probably the victim of a fatal attack.  I also had hoped they just got nicely convinced to leave, even though I knew Stella would never go for that.  I just didn't want to think of this kind of alternative.  None of us did.  We're all crying together.

That's just the saddest thing to read Sage. I'm really sorry this had to happen to Stella. I will light a candle for her.

BB was frantic and kept going over the board!  At first she wouldn't leave the box!  We were going nutsy on the ground watching.
