Gorge at the Gorge

Rhea-Mae


Last Saturday (July 22) at about 3:00 PM Rhea Mae was seen hunting her own food. Carol P. took some beautiful pictures of her on Pride's rock enjoying her quarry, she posted them at the KfalconCam Discussion Board.


A little while after that Kaver came into the gorge with food and Rhea Mae did a food exchange with him.


I got to the gorge at about 6 PM, in time to see Mariah do a beautiful stoop over the gorge near the apartment buildings behind the observation deck. She came back with food and Rhea Mae flew out to do a food exchange with her, after which she enjoyed her third meal. Since Mariah and Kaver were still hungry, they had to go hunting again. Kaver ended up on the middle stack with food. Mariah ended up with some of his dinner and then Rhea Mae somehow got hold of some of it and enjoyed a snack after her dinners. Then she tried to fly!


She made it from the BeeBee station to Building 10 around 9:00 PM. She was on a window ledge 4 stories from the top. That's when I got the picture above. The quality is poor, partly from the poor lighting that time of night. Her formerly slim physique was transformed. Her belly dragged along the ledge as she walked.


It was a really fun night to watch the falcons because of the antics of Rhea Mae. Everyone was joking and kidding around about her feast.

July 26 Falcon Watch

It was past 7:30 PM went I got to the gorge. Carol, Lou, Dana, Jeanne and Kathy G. were all there. The falcons weren't in the gorge area though. There was a band playing in the park across the gorge, so it was noisy there.


Dana and Lou were going to go downtown to see if they could spot any of the falcons. I decided to go along because I wanted to learn where the falcons hang out downtown.


They spotted one right away on the south side of Xerox. They pointed out some of the other spots where they are likely to be downtown. I decided to go back to the gorge with the other watchers. When I got there they were all leaving. Carol said Dana and Lou had just radioed in that they spotted a falcon on the communication tower. I decided to head over to the communication tower where I saw Lou and Dana just leaving. I spotted the falcon on the tower and got a picture of it.

Falcon Watch July 25, 7:15 - 7:45 PM

We saw four other watchers as we approached the east side of the pedestrian bridge. Brian, Joyce, Carol and Kathy O. had Mariah spotted on the 17th floor of the Kodak Tower, other than that, it was pretty quiet. Marcia showed up a little while after we did.


My son and I looked for the beavers but the water was pretty muddy and I doubted we would be able to spot them. The weather was beautiful, warm and a little breezy. The gulls and the heron were enjoying the breeze. Here are a couple pictures of the herons:

Aura came flying into the gorge from downtown. She did a fly over the bridge and soared over the observation deck for a minute before she flew back downtown. It was nice to see her.

June 27 Video - 9 minutes of video including Sabrina landing on the railing, I was able to get a sharper image than on the video below. You'll see the juveniles scramble after their parents when Kaver brings in food, plus much more.

Video - Sabrina and Jeanne.

June 27 Fledgewatch by Lotto.

June 27 - I went out to Kodak this morning and took some more video. If all goes well tonight after work I'll transfer the tape to DVD, copy the DVD to the hard drive, change the .vod files to .avi files, match the video and audio together and then upload it to the web. Simple. I have footage of Sabrina flying and landing on the railing of the pedestrian bridge, footage of all five falcons in the air, footage of a juvenile enjoying a meal, and footage of Sabrina and Rhea Mae preening each other. Look for the video later tonight.

June 22 link - Pictures from the Kodak Birdcam. The girls started the day in the nest box again. Reports from the fledgewatchers indicate that Sabrina flew to the communications tower, she was spotted there with Kaver. Sabrina also spent some time on the very top of the Koak tower, on the ornametal flowers. Aura did not leave the tower, neither did Rhea Mae. They spent the majority of the day in the playen.


June 22 News Link - Scroll to last story.




June 21 link - Pictures from the Kodak Birdcam. The juveniles all started the day in the nest box again. Sabrina made several flights today, she even visited the Beebee Station smokestack. Aura flew today too. Exciting day for the fledge watchers. We have two fledglings.



June 20 link - Pictures from the Kodak Birdcam. The juveniles all started the day in the nest box. Sabrina left the nest box at 5:25 am. Aura left about 6:40 AM. Later in the day Sabrina flew away from the tower and right back again, twice. We have one fledgling.


June 19 link - Pictures from the Kodak Birdcam. All three juveniles are out of the nest. Rhea Mae moved to the rail. Aura was in the playpen early in the morning, probably spent the night there. Sabrina seems to move at will from the nest, rail, roof and playpen. She was flying back and forth from the roof to the playpen this morning, at least I think it was the playpen, she was only in camera range when she was on the roof. Rhea Mae's head was moving back and forth from the playpen to the roof as if she was watching a tennis match.

Great news! Banding day is June 1 at 9:45 AM. Mariah is still on the mend from injuries sustained on May 6, and she's making progress. No one knows for sure how she was injured, my guess is a territory fight with another female falcon. Territory fights can go on until one or both falcons die. If Mariah was in a territory fight it's a good thing she made it back to the nest. The falcon experts say that they have known falcons who have lost a leg who successfully raise their broods and carry on with their lives.

Hafoc Sighting

Monday February 7, 2005

Craig K. reports: Today I had a incredible sighting of Hafoc, one of the 2004 batch of Falcons from the Kodak tower nest in Rochester, NY. that was satellite tagged by Mark Nash from the Canadian Peregrine Foundation. At approximately 11:35 AM local time on Monday, Feb. 7, 2005, as I was walking into the Media Play store located in Ridgemont Plaza on West Ridge Road in Greece / Rochester, I spotted him picking apart and eating a pigeon right in the middle of the sidewalk about 20 feet away from the main entrance to the store. I watched until he finished and flew away at 11:58 AM.

"Marcel Gahbauer reports: Earlier this week we received a report that a peregrine wearing a transmitter had been spotted in a tree on the grounds of Rochester Divinity School. Unfortunately, the leg bands were not seen, so we don't know who this might be. Obviously given the location the long lost Maryann is a possibility, but it could also be one of the other birds from Project Track-'em that may have gone silent due to battery problems with the transmitter. Please keep an eye out for this bird, and if you see it try to get a look at the leg bands if at all possible (even colour and position will help us a bit). "


Tuesday June 26, 2001

"Brad Carney reports: Come 12:35 or so ALL FOUR youngsters were flying around the tower for a good solid TEN minutes! What a sight. Locking talons, playing tag, two on two, one on three, three on one, hide and go seek, king of the hill, etc, etc. Seems that during this playful period, they must have all landed and launched from the "attic" ridge a good 6-8 times apiece! I'm here to tell you all that their flying/landing skills are exceptional. Mariah and Cabot-Sirocco are going to have to keep a sharp eye on their backsides and be prepared for unexpected participation in a game of tag!Yesterday, June 25, 2001, we confirmed ALL FOUR youngsters "stacked" together on the north-west facade of the Kodak tower during lunch! At the same time, we were able to witness Mariah & Cabot-Sirocco flying together on the north side in full view of the four "kids". Truly an AWESOME sight!"

Mary Ann

June 23, 2000

Mary Ann has spent the last few days resting and feasting on quail at the vet's office. This morning she was outfitted with a very small and lightweight GPS (Global Positioning System) transmitter to help us learn more about her migration path. For approximately one year, Mary Ann's location will be reported to a satellite every 96 hours.


Around noon, Mary Ann was taken up to the nestbox area and the door of her carrier was opened. She walked out of the carrier and continued to walk around the area just below the nestbox. As soon as Mary Ann was released, both Mariah and Cabot-Sirocco arrived and perched on the Kodak tower where they could watch the activities. Shortly after that, one of Mary Ann's siblings landed on the railing right by her and appeared to be encouraging her with his constant squawking.


Mark Nash, from the Canadian Peregrine Foundation, was one of the people monitoring Mary Ann's release. He knew that Mary Ann's release caused the parents' squawking that he interpreted as a summons for a family meeting. All the siblings should have gathered within an hour or so. Mark became concerned when, after an hour, only one sibling had returned.


Meanwhile, people from the Canadian Peregrine Foundation and Kodak people associated with the project, continued to monitor Mary Ann's attempts to fly. By nightfall, she still had not taken off.


June 18, 2000

Mary Ann has had trouble staying airborne. Around 9 p.m. she was seen on the sidewalk of State Street, so trained bird rescuers took her to a veterinarian for examination. After receiving medicine for hydration and nutrition, Mary Ann is in good health and now rests at the vet’s office. She’ll most likely be released in one or two days.

Peregrine falcons Mariah and Cabot-Sirocco successfully raised their third brood of chicks atop the Kodak Tower. The Birdcam is closed for the season as the “millennium brood”—McKeever, Mary Ann, MichaelAllen and Mr. Money—have left the nest to practice their flying and hunting skills before making their first migration.

The Birdcam will start up again next spring when the peregrines return to nest. In the meantime, check out the Galleries to see Birdcam highlights, or visit other areas of the site to download new desktop images and photos, learn the history and life cycle of peregrines, and read updates about Maxine’s recovery.

July 13, 2000
Maxine, one of Mariah and Cabot-Sirocco's 1999 offspring, continues to recover after being struck by a car near St. Catherine's, Ontario, Canada. She is being cared for by the famous Owl Lady of Canada, Kay McKeever. One of the Millennium brood, McKeever, was named after Kay and her husband, Larry, who are active participants in the peregrine falcon program.

Maxine's recovery from a fractured wing is going well. She is expected to be released, with a GPS (Global Positioning System) transmitter, like Mary Ann's, in August. Stay tuned for more details!

July 12, 2000
The falcon family continues to stay close to the Kodak building, spending much of their time in the High Falls Gorge area. Mary Ann and her sibling, as well as both parents, are being spotted regularly.

We are still trying to confirm the identity of the sibling who is flying with Mary Ann. In addition to MichaelAllen, we suspect that one other member of the Millennium brood has not survived.
June 24, 2000 At 5:30 A.M. Mary Ann was spotted flying and doing well. Later in the morning, she and one of her siblings were seen in the nestbox area. The sibling arrived with food. Although he may have intended it for his own meal, Mary Ann boldly stepped up and ate what her brother brought.

When only one sibling returned for yesterday's release of Mary Ann, Mark Nash, from the Canadian Peregrine Foundation, became concerned. Although the average peregrine lifespan is 13 - 17 years, only about one out of two will survive to early adulthood. To live into their second year, peregrines have to survive the perils of early flight, when a strong wind can carry off a novice flyer. A search of the area surrounding the Kodak building began. Before long, MichaelAllen was found dead. We suspect that either Mr. Money or McKeever is also dead since only one of the three siblings responded to their parents' summons. People in the Rochester area are asked to be on the lookout for the other missing sibling.

The fourth and final hatchling fled the nestbox today setting off on its solo flight.
June 12, 2000 By the end of the day three of the hatchlings had left on their solo flights. They continued to fly in close proximity and were often seen perched on the railings and walkways below the nest box.

May 25, 2000
The four chicks were removed from the nest box, banded and weighed.

May 7, 2000
All four hatchlings are alive and well.

May 6, 2000
Mariah moved away from the action just long enough for the cameras to reveal that at least two more eggs hatched.

May 5, 2000
At approximatley 3 p.m. EST, the first egg started to hatch. Before sunset, the first hatchling had exited its egg.

April 3, 2000
Mariah laid a fourth egg—the most she has laid in her three years atop the Kodak Tower.

April 1, 2000
Mariah laid a third egg.

March 29, 2000
Mariah laid a second egg at approximately 6:30 p.m. She is not yet incubating the eggs. One or two more eggs are expected before she starts incubating them.

March 27, 2000
Mariah laid her first egg on March 27—Three weeks earlier than last year.

March 7, 2000
Preparation for this year’s Birdcam is underway! Installers camouflage themselves under a tarp and successfully place the Birdcam in the nestbox. Previous two attempts without using tarp proved to be dangerous when the parent falcons attacked.

March 1, 2000
Research reveals a happy coincidence in the Rochester peregrine family tree: Ponce-Kingsley—Cabot-Sirocco’s father and Maxine’s grandfather—was released in Akron, OH on July 1, 1992 and injured near Windsor, Ontario, in November 1992. In late January 1993, Ponce-Kingsley was transferred to The Owl Foundation for rehabilitation and release.

In caring for Maxine and her grandfather, the McKeevers have been instrumental to the survival of the Rochester peregrine family.
