NY / Rochester - 2008-15
allikat:
Same here...actually I posted a question to TPC about ours as well....she has a family tree on her forum but, I'm also curious if she knows they are around.
carly:
We rarely hear about ours here so I guess that's why I get so excited when I hear of other falcons being sighted after the fact. Rochester certainly seems to have a high success rate as we have many of Mariah's offpsring in Southern Ontario.
allikat:
Now that's what we love to hear, more falcons coming home!!!
Now all they need to do is produce healthy chicks so they can produce healthy chicks.... ::)
(I know, I know...easier written then done :D)
Still no news about Kaiver hey???

That's both Zephyr and Quest that we know have not only survived but are thriving!!

Sorry, going to be little ms cautious TPC here. Great news about Zephyr and Quest. Now Quest hung out in the area all winter which if she continues to do means she won't have to worry about migration hazards, just urban ones which in large (and high) urban areas are not insignificant. That Zephyr made it back is great news too, particularly if he went further afield, he's managed to weather his first year home and away. Now why cautious? They aren't a year old yet so they are far from experienced birds but they are back and that is a very good sign. From a biologic, recovery and the peregrine's perspective, the success of a bird isn't in surviving or even reproducing, its if your kids have kids. So if Zephyr or Quest have young, then Mariah and Kaver have been successful. Only way to know your genes have been passed along is if there are grand-kids around somewhere ....
The Rochester folks are very good about their birds so if Zephyr and Quest are going to survive and thrive (in the b & r & p sense) then they are in the right place!!
