Beauty on Mercury 11-26 & Juvie in Irondequoit 11-28

[grannywood]

I headed downtown Thanksgiving morning and immediately spoted a falcon on the Mercury statue about 9:45am.  It looked like Beauty.  I watched her for about an hour when she took off heading straight down towards the west out of my sight.  I was unable to track her down after that.

About 11:50am today, Lou and I watched a juvenile Peregrine Falcon on a communication tower in a parking lot on the south side of East Ridge Rd, across the street from the Georgetown Plaza. After about 5 minutes, the falcon took off west towards the Keeler Park Apts.  We headed down to the Walmart parking lot and looked all around but were unable to see the falcon again.

Here's pictures from both watches.

Nice pictures, Dana, as always

I wonder if this is the juvie that was on Kodak Park.  Maybe Mariah has a young follower

This is the same communication tower I saw the adult Falcon (which I believe was Mariah) yesterday morning.  I have to wonder the same thing Jeanne.

Do we know if a young admirer would do Mariah any good or is he too young to be a good provider and partner?

Dana mentioned that she thought the juvie was probably a female, due to size and that it seemed to be getting some adult plumage.  So she maybe Quest's age?  If the juvie turns out to be male, who knows what might happen.  We'll definitely keep watching.

Has anyone seen bands on the juvie?

No, I don't think Dana & Lou were able to see any bands.  I don't think they had a good view of the legs.

So, I looked quickly at this topic and I thought it said a Mercury Beauty!  Been watching too much NASCAR, I guess...
