Mariah at Kodak Park and Archer & Beauty at Times Square

[simplykoch]

Is there any concern about Mariah since she hasn't been seen in quite some time?
Driven off again, or perhaps attacked?
There appeared to be an uneasy co-existence ...even with the excellent supply of prey..

[Shaky]

Not really. She's in a big area with lots of good hiding spots that doesn't get checked very often.

Congrats on your first post, simplykoch!

The interesting item about this photo is that Archer appears to be airborne even before he clears the rail. Whereas they usually step out into air, drop and climb, he seems to have gone straight airborne. Naturally doable, just different from what I would see at the Kodak tower. Of course, there is no playpen, etc, here.

Good point.

I'd been thinking, those downward pointing talons look a bit as if he's been taking ballet lessons. But, of course, part of the aim of ballet is for the dancers to appear to be weightless, as though they could take to the air at any minute.

Quite a nice little scrape that they are making also. Larry O

Is Mariah still around? Usually she makes herself well-known....ok, she did at Kodak. Hope she is OK.  ???

[Shaky]

No one knows. It's hard to spot her in that area.

[DianaR]

Do any Kodaker's know anyone who works in that big building in the area where she last seemed to be hanging out? How about enrolling the local resident who welcomed some of you to look at her a few weeks ago? He sounded interested.

There is a Kodaker that works in the building across the street that is keeping an eye on the taller research bldg (#83).  No recent reports.

I don't think she was actually hanging out there.  I think she's been hunting in that area and roosting somewhere else.  Possibly she's found a nice spot in the nearby gorge.

What?  You haven't sniffed her out yet?   

[Carol P.]

Maybe, when the trees start losing their leaves.

Bill and I were at KP last week and marveled at how you caught sight of her that one day.  There are so many trees, houses, buildings around and of course, the gorge that looking for her is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

If the other two leave this fall, I have a feeling we might see her in more familiar places.

Ok, finally found where everyone is hanging out!! Now that winter is coming, I wonder if Mariah will hang around there, or go somewhere else? What's been her pattern?

Good to see Shakey on board again - are you going to be doing your artistry again next year like you did for Mariah and Kaver? Boy, I sure miss Kaver - guess that's why I missed a lot of the action this year.
