Buffalo Falcon News 2013

[Kris G.]

We saw only one bird at CT, very high, and it looked more like G than D. Nest was empty.  We are going back now.

Also, Yankee not seen this morning around campus or neighborhood.

Oh boy-not good! 

[Donna]

I sure hope Diamante & Yankee are around and OK. This is so sad, the whole deal!

[~Sage~]

On second visit, it looked as it one pefa, then two more flew from the opposite side, where we had already checked, but they looked to have been in the air, not on the bldg. After about 15 minutes one flew back and perched high on tower (pix later) but it did not look like Diamante. Cannot detect D's bands and bird too big and fluffy.

Nothing at grain elevators or Holcim. A recheck around UB but Yankee was not seen in the vicinity.

 We're desperately trying to find D. On a positive note, we did not see any fight the other day. It seemed to be just a chase but we did not see the beginning of the event.

I'm so bummed and so tired...

Did Diamante migrate?  When was he last seen?

[BIGFRANK]

That is unbelievable!! What utter stupidity.

[jeanne]

BB is so beautiful.

Did Diamante migrate?  When was he last seen?

He was last seen over the weekend I believe. I have faith that he's fine.

He might be puffed up to keep warm, I know some days our birds look totally different.  Don't give up hope!  Get some rest and thank you for all your efforts, I'm sure everyone here appreciates it Sage.

[MAK]

  So sorry Sage-I hope you get some rest and are able to find Diamante and Yankee next time out. We all appreciate your efforts in an obviously sad situation at both sites.

I do not believe Diamante or Gleig migrated. They fought hard for this site a year ago and have been seen here over the winter. Stash and Stella did not migrate either. The UB pair overwinters here too.
