Mariah at Kodak Park & Archer Downtown - 8/15/09
August 16th, 2009
From Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.

It was a really hot, humid day today, so Dan and I planned on getting out to Kodak Park early this morning to hopefully see Mariah or the unbanded Juvie.

Dan and I were sitting on the street on the gorge side (east) of KP. At 7:15 am, Mariah flew in from the south, low over us and then up to the Research Lab Bldg. where she circled the building and landed on the antenna.

For 45 minutes we were able to get really close looks at her through the scope. Her left leg was bandless, but I was unable to see the right leg to verify the blue/yellow band.

I am 99.9% sure this was Mariah. It looked like Mariah.

Kathy O joined me near the building and took a look through the scope. She agreed that it was Mariah.

At 8:00 am, she flew off of the building and headed towards the gorge. We
didn’t see her again after that.

It was wonderful seeing her looking so well. She was beautiful in the early morning light.

Needless to say, Dan, Kathy and I will be out again tomorrow morning.

Afterwards, I picked up Brian H, and we drove around downtown. We found Archer on the Widows Peak building. No Beauty sightings.

Great pictures this morning, Beth!

It sure looks like Archer and Beauty are getting attached to that new nest box. Perhaps they'll raise their family here next year. Wouldn't that be nice?

Oh thanks there Beth I thought it was a juvie when I saw all the brownish color
I guess I should have my coffee before I start looking at pictures :lol:

Kitten, the easiest way to tell them apart is that Beauty has the peach coloring on her bib & Archer doesn't.
