Diamante - Central Terminal in Buffalo

[Kris G.]

Just posted on Peregrine Place FB..

IMPORTANT NOTICE! The Peregrine falcon, HILLARY, is a RICHARDSON hatch, I think 2015! So we have DIAMANTE' and HILLARY, both released somewhere near Herkimer, NY.  

Adding that Richardson is in Buffalo, where BB once nested before being removed!  I wonder where Hillary was picked up for rehab..she would know where Buffalo is too!

Herkimer is just a little over an hour from Syracuse by car (66 miles according to Mapquest).  Let's hope Diamante and Hillary steer clear of George and Pigott's territory as well.

From Barb Baldinger on Facebook: 

One of your Buffalo offspring has been photographed in Sarnia, Ontario by a friend of my friend. The female Peregrine Falcon with the black/green, 60/BC band was banded in the nest box at the Central Terminal on 5/21/16. She was one of three out of three female chicks. Her parents were Gleig (f) from Hamilton Ontario, and Diamante (m) from Rochester, NY who came in 2012, ousting the pair who were there and taking over the nest box together. Her band is 1947-21597, and she was named Ginger upon banding.

Hello Ginger! Another M&K granddaughter.

Wonderful news! And wherever he is, I hope Diamante is having a great life with a new mate, making more M&K grandbabies.

So...the only notes I see on here from 2016 were 4 eggs, 2 hatched, one male injured at fledge time.

Does anyone know:
-Did the other 2 eggs hatch?
-Did the fledgling survive?
-What is his name? And the names of #3 & 4 if they did hatch?

Just when I thought I was finished getting the family tree updated. Shaky, the file WAS ready. I'll add Ginger.

I don't know Kitty.  I expect Sage might?  Barb contacted the DEC to get the information.

Did you guys know about this?  One of Diamante and Gleig's girls (Terrazzo - 2014) nesting under the North Grand Island Bridge.  Photo of her here if you can see it.

Thank you for the news! I will have to read up once I'm home-FB is blocked at work.

On Saturday, June 1st, personnel from DEC and NYS Thruway Authority teamed up to band Peregrine Falcon chicks under the North Grand Island bridge. The eyasses (falcon chicks), about 20 days old, are given leg bands (photo 1), a health assessment (photo 2) and returned to the nest box. The female Peregrine, named Terrazzo, waits for her chicks to return to the nest (photo 3). Terrazzo was banded at the Central Train Terminal building in Buffalo in 2014. Dad, an unbanded bird, watches from a nearby perch under the bridge (photo 4).
