rosekk17, glad that you got to see somebody. I often imagine how nice it would be to see a falcon on the buildings downtown going to and from work. Oh well, we are not lucky enough to have falcons.

Good morning everyone! I was downtown checking out the building standing across the street at the Statehouse - I spotted a falcon sitting on the ledge - at least I think I did - rofl - he blended in so well with the building and I was not sure if it was reality or a strong need to see someone up there. Well, had to catch my bus so I crossed the street and standing where I could see the ledge better than right underneath it - when all of a suddenly off flew - it had to be Spark because he flew strait off the ledge. All I really saw was a flash of wings and then it disappeared. One day I am going to be under the ledge and catch the d-dive - i hope I hope I hope - :sum9:

Happy Friday Everyone!

Hey Beth - I hope that you are doing well my friend!! hugs for you!!!
I was watching this couple at the same time that you were watching - Thank you for the great pictures - I was there in person actually at around 4:30 - actually I think that I saw one of the falcons way over on the LeVeque tower and well since I had accidentally dropped my binoculars I was trying to fix them, I looked back up and it was gone - I did hear kakking - I looked back on the ledge and there were 2 falcons - one in the middle of the ledge facing inard and the other was on the far end from the web cam facing outward. I watched for probably 15 minutes or so but had to get home to make dinner etc. Then last night I stopped to check out the ledge while downtown and there was a falcon on the ledge at around 6:40 pm.

I will be downtown again this afternoon to check them out again.

Thanks for the preening video MA - it looks like Durand was being bitten by a bug and trying to get it - heheheh!!

I loved the preening video too! Awesome. I saw Spark and his lady love Durand yesterday and actually took a couple of pictures but never posted. Sigh!!!!! I have to do better on that.

Hi Rosekk17,
Although I would love to meet you in downtown Columbus and perhaps one day I will but for the time being I live in Tonawanda, Ny which is a suburb of Buffalo, New York. Nice thought though. I can't post those pictures today as I had cataract surgery this morning and my eye is not quite right yet. So please excuse any typos in this note.
Take care and I love your reports,
Sally
PS I love the Columbus falcons too. :hallcat:
