Alcoa Anglesea: back in business

Well after 2 days the cam is back in business. And look how the nestlings have grown. They are turning into juveniles real quick now. They can stand on their own 2 feet, look lovely and fat and are right on exploring the nestbox. They do look healthy and very hungry indeed.

Titan and Hillary of Hilliard

Chad & Chris Saladin made these amazing, terrific series of pics of Titan and Hillary of Hilliard just a few days ago. The resident Peregrine falcon pair took a bath together. Hillary was on the watch-out while Titan took a bath. The scenary is wonderful, full of the colors of the fall in natures mandatory cycle of life.
Chris and Chad are totally devoted to Peregrine falcons. Each year they watch several nestsites in Ohio and make hundreds of pics of the resident peregrine couples during nestingseason. They also teach about the ways of this magnificent raptor. They both are very special people! Thanks Chris and Chad for all the joy you bring to so many people all over the world and for both of you being guardians over so many juvs.
I'm proud and happy to be able to show so much of their work on my website

Quests travels

Our Lady of Tocjester Quest is still hanging out around the Cape. Thanks to the data biologists are able to see her daily routine.

She’s spending the early mornings, and presumably her overnights, in the area around Chatham and Brewster. It looks like she’s occupying her days with jaunts out to Monomoy Island.





Melissa Lowe, Education Coordinator for the Massachusetts Audubon’s Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary wrote to let all of us know that Quest has been spotted at Monomoy. "One of our volunteers, Don Manchester who conducts a spring hawk watch for us, counts migrant raptors in the fall down in Chatham at Morris Island for the USFWS Monomoy NWR. I just learned he has seen Quest on several occasions He has watched her chase and try to catch a flicker ([she] was joined by another falcon in the pursuit).”

So it seems Quest has a friend. The data prooves she's an active girl and is getting enough to eat!
