Rochester NY Falcon Wings
Really enjoyed yet another visit to see the Rochester falcons. It was like the good old days. The youngsters seem to be finding High Falls gorge on the Genessee River. With four of them, when they were flying the sky was filled with wings. You can see many more pictures at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opyrl466oz8&list=UU86by8i7REZeo3F7S1u-7yA

Fledgling Fantasy
Most of these pictures are archival. That means they just show that the almost fledglings are doing OK so far. Most of my time has been spent in Jersey City, but I was able to make a stop at Tompkins Square Park for the red-tails and Riverside Church.

A Day on the Hudson
A picture is worth a thousand very cold words. Yes, the eagles are still here. It’s too cold and icy where many of them live.

Eagle Heaven on Hudson
There have been at least 15 eagles hunting at the Croton Boat Ramp the last two days. The Croton River started moving again.

They flew off and around, but someone had my parking spot.

Red Tail Hunts at Croton
While on my search for a snowy owl, I thought I would try the Croton ‘Meadow.’ I didn’t see an owl, but our resident red tail was in her favorite spot by the road. She thought she had something on her first try, but apparently not. She tried again as the smaller birds took cover.

Sacking the Peregrine
A great, big THANK YOU to Kathy Clark, NJ Fish & Wildlife Biologist, David Wheeler and Ben Wurst, Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ, for letting me attend the banding of our 101 Hudson, Jersey City eyas.

Conowingo Stoop
We made our fourth and final trip for the season on Monday, Nov. 26, 2012. It was supposed to be cloudy, but it was a sunny, great day. I finally managed to get a flight shot with my old 600mm and 1.4 teleconverter. The birds were right in front of me as usual. Some people…
