None of us have done updates on the blog since July
That doesn’t mean there haven’t been interesting things going on… just that we’ve been taking a breather. Soon the 2009 nesting season for our all wonderful feathered friends will be underway and we’ll start posting more regular updates.
For now, join us in going outside, listening and looking for some of the wonderful wildlife that share the cold of winter with us. You may be surprised at what you find in you own backyard!
First Year Snowy Owl, January 18th 2009
Wyoming County, Western NY
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).

Thanks to glenham for sharing this wonderful feeding video – this brood is growing rapidly!
The fourth egg arrived in the Glenham, NY Chimney Swift nest this morning (Thursday, 06/19/08)!
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.
