Falcon Watch and Update on the Buffalo Peregrine Falcons!

Buffalo Falcon Watch Tonight!

Irinash, Joyce and I met for Falcon Watch earlier this evening - both adults and all four juvenile falcons were seen. Details are on our forum and I’m including this brief vid clip of two of the female juvenile falcons flying overhead (I really don’t like YouTube’s poor quality, but the original files are HUGE).

Fourth Egg for the Chimney Swifts!

The fourth egg arrived in the Glenham, NY Chimney Swift nest this morning (Thursday, 06/19/08)!  swiftsjune19a.jpg

Looking at “glenham’s” camera, it does appear that active incubation by the pair has started. 

Will there be a fifth egg?  We’ll have to wait and see!  Chimney Swifts lay their eggs EVERY OTHER day so if there is a number five it should arrive on Saturday, June 21st.

You can follow the Chimney Swift nest on our forum or you can visit the Cornell Lab of Ornithology NestCams site were we are a cam host.

First and Second Fledge for Buffalo, NY! (5/15)

Published by FalconFriend Admin under General

buffalofledge.jpgNews Regarding The Buffalo Falcons from forum member irinash!  “We have 1 fledgling at Statler (white band). I saw her flying strong this morning, but landing was poor. Couldn’t make it to the nest just slide of the wall of the building and flew back across Franklin street. Later in afternoon  saw still 3 at the nest. After adult dropped food at tne nest box I found a fledgling on the roof of Statler. She sat on fledgecam for a while than walked right above the nest.  Photo courtesy irinash.

Currently looking at the cam (8:15pm) it appears a second fledge has left the nest!
