Quest of Rochester




Our beautiful young falconlady is having a great time. And she is doing just fine.

Quest is still at the Massachusettsshore and does not seem to have any plans to move.

She spent the past week exploring State Route #6 on Cape Cod, where she is presumably dining on tasty shorebirds. She seems to be an excellent hunter and no signs of hunger what so ever. Good for her!

Our Quest was seen and photographed by Shawn Carey, a professional wildlife photographer and a member of the Massachusetts Audubon Society. On August 17th Shawn Carey was photographing at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary on the cape, when he came across our Quest! Shawn took some fantastic photos of Quest:

Watch them here, they are amazing!

Quest continued her eastward trek reaching the Massachusetts coast in the first week of August. She was visiting tony Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and Cape Cod. Data indicate that she’s having a great time exploring the far eastern reaches of the US. Most of Mariah’s offspring whose locations are known– and all that previously had transmitters– went north or west. So Quest’s eastern movement is an unexpected surprise.
