4 falcons all in one area!!  One is a small adult with a dark hood? Hmm.  (biting nails).

We're pretty sure now that we probably had three falcons, not four.  and yes the 3rd was an adult with a dark hood, tiercel size.  We'll keep watching!

What a wild night of falcon watching everyone. Watchers included CarolP,Joyce,BrianH,Dana, Louigi,Larry,MAK and canine watchers Abbey,Casey and Cleo.
   I received a text message from Joyce around 5:00 that she and Brian were at his new apartment and could see a falcon on either HSBC or Xerox(can't recall which). Carol had Beauty and Archer on the north side of OCSR. So naturally I beat feet downtown. As I stopped at a red light before the HSBC building I grabbed my trusty binocs and to my surprise I saw a falcon on the roof back in a ways with a very brown chest. Could it be Calidora or even Jemison! I went in the Frontier parking lot to find CarolP. She had what appeared to be a tiercel on Xerox. We weren't able to locate the possible juvenile falcon again.
    Carol,Brian and Joyce all agreed the tiercel did not look like Archer. We had 3 and possibly 4 falcons there tonight. Beauty and Archer chased 1 out of the area. At times it was very hard to keep up. A short while later we had what seemed to be 3 adults in the air at once just flying and not really showing any aggression. They would dissappear behind HSBC and at the end of the watch we were left with Beauty on HSBC and Archer on Xerox.
    This was the most exciting watch we've had in awhile and it certainly gave us food for thought. It is the start of migration time and anything can happen in the days and weeks to come. So keep your eyes to the skys people. I know I will!

Looks like Our Watchers are in for a busy day - can't wait to read what happens!

BTW, Donna - how do you get all this info to pass along to the rest of us??? I am ever amazed at the pix you post from the falconcam... I could just about identify a rather large heron from the pix, never mind a specific falcon. Way to go!

  it's top secret!  NO, I get text messages from MAK and then I post what she texts me. It's that simple.
