Diamante - Central Terminal in Buffalo

[AlisonL]

Great photos of Gleig and Diamante, Sage! Thank you! What a beautiful pair they are.

Is there a chance that the Buffalo cams might be working again soon?

We were so glad to find Diamante and Gleig and home today, after missing them the past couple weeks.  They were both seen flushing the pigeons, with no apparent payoff.   First Gleig flew back to the tower and onto her perch, waiting anxiously to see if Diamante was more successful.  No, he flew back empty handed too.  Pix 1 & 2 are Diamante, 3 & 4 are Gleig

So wake up even if it is January!  These CT birds are playing games!  Here is what I blogged but I need your help as to if I ID'd them right, okay?

~Peregrine Games at Central Terminal~
Usually we find Gleig on the nestbox perch at Central Terminal but today, they saw us coming and decided to play games on us. On approach I saw one pefa flying back to the tower and going to the nest side, out of our sight. When we got in position and got the camera clicking away, the bird at the box seemed to figeting and turning around. It was Diamante!

Then a second pefa flew in, displaced the first, though I was out of camera range because the new Pefamobile has no moonroof. I alert Roger to stop and get some shots. He missed the flying shots but got the second bird who turned out to be Gleig (last pic)..

I still get teary eyed seeing Diamante. I really thought we were done discovering M&K offspring out there. Not that there aren't more...just we don't know where they are.

Looks like he has white on the back of his head like Quest.

Kathy O, Lisa McK, Dana and I took a trip to Buffalo to spend some time with Diamante at Central Terminal.  Both Diamante and Gleig were home and I was thrilled when Diamante stooped directly over me!  That boy can really move!  lol  

We also saw him fly into some nearby trees and snatch an unsuspecting Starling from one of the branches.  Quite an impressive hunter.  

Love to see "our kids" doing well.

I got some, not the greatest since my camera's been acting up.  I'll post when I get a chance.  Dana was there, so I am hoping she will share some of her pictures.

He is really doing great and he's gorgeous Ei, truly gorgeous!

He's so cute, so glad he's near by! Thanks Carol.
