Beauty Update – 2/16/12
Update on Beauty from Barbara Loucks, NYS DEC
The peregrine is doing pretty well, and still eating on its own.
The blood work reveals that the kidneys are showing some effects of possible dehydration, which needs to be looked into further. They are repeating the blood work on Monday and we should know more after those results come in.

Thank you to Barbara Loucks and the DEC, AND to rfalconcam (all of you) who keep us updated on all of “our” falcons. They are wild, and we are “domesticated” but we follow them as if they were “ours” although they are not. It is a privilege to peek in on their lives, and all of us are keeping Beauty in our thoughts and prayers, as we forever keep Mariah and Kaver, and all of their Rochester offspring in our thoughts and prayers. Thank goodness for Rhea Mae and traveling Quest!
Light a candle for Beauty and all of our falcons tonight.

“They are wild, and we are ‘domesticated'”
I particularly like this sentiment, margaret.
Has anyone seen anyone in the nest box?
February 19th, 2012 at 8:37 PM
Yes, Alison-lots of nest box action today. This time it was Unity (99.999% sure-still can’t read the number on her VID band-we have black ?/red H left leg & purple band right leg. I think the number is yucked with leftovers).

I hate to ask, but has anyone heard of an update on Beauty? This usurption of the nest box is hard.
I know it is nature’s way, but after the take-down of the Kodak Tower NB, and the loss of M and K, it was good to see Beauty and Archer in the NB in 2010 and their two young ones. The “drama” of last summer with Archer and Unity and Beauty, and now the battle and injury to Beauty along with the loss of Callidora is doubly hard.
My brain is tellling me it is “survival of the species” and Unity will now reign and raise her young, but my heart is saying “what about Beauty and Archer and Mr T?”
I know Mr. T is unbanded, but Archer is banded? Is that correct? Need a score card again.
