Falchi pellegrini a Rochester, NY (Kodak): Mariah&Kaver
Inviato: lun feb 04, 2008 5:17 pm
Aspettando il ritorno di Kaver (si dice che durante l'inverno se ne vada saggiamente in vacanza al sud) il nido è stato risistemato e la web cam ripulita, anche se le condizioni estreme del tempo con vento gelido non hanno permesso ai volonterosi “Fal-Kenn” Martinez e Jim Pisello di portare completamente a termine quest'ultima operazione.
In compenso sono stati accolti con interesse non proprio benevolo da Mariah che notoriamente non riceve volentieri e non apprezza proprio per niente che qualcuno metta le mani in casa sua.
Questa foto evidenzia il suo modo di sentire a riguardo: in effetti, si, stava piombando poco amichevolmente sui visitatori.
Adoro quell'espressione, cara!
Intanto le notizie di Linn, una delle sue ragazze della scorsa stagione, sono sempre più certe e rassicuranti.

From January 4th.:
Our friends at the Canadian Peregrine Foundation have delivered some terrific news. Linn, last of the 2007 offspring to fledge, has been identified by her leg band defending a possible nesting site in Scarborough, Ontario Canada! Here’s the information we just received from Mark Nash of the CPF:
Hello All,
We have finally been able to get a positive identification on one of the two Pefa’s that have been calling this neck of the woods home for the past months. On Dec. 31st/2007, one of the CPF volunteers - Bruce Massey’s efforts paid off, and he was able to positively confirm the band number of the Pefa now calling the Bell building at Pharmacy and Eglinton her turf. This is the same building that we used for this past summers hack of four orphaned peregrine chicks that came to us from Quebec.
It is confirmed that we have a juvenile female - 91 over V - holding (and protecting) this territory, and its Linn from Rochester 2007!! She still [has] her red tape over the Silver USFW band.
Linn has been exhibiting very territorial behavior – (as she has been observed defending the Bell building on three different occasions over the past two weeks) while chasing off the local red-tails as they fly over and around of the Bell building.
She can be seen regularly roosting on the Bell building, - next to the hack box, and seems to be calling the building her own – (at least for the time being). She is no longer is being observed on the Water storage tank at Warden and Eglinton, as we pass both these places daily as we go into the CPF head office.
Sadly, we have not seen the adult male that was hanging around with her when she was roosting on the Water storage tank.
Sincerely,
Mark Nash

Nel frattempo un'altra news arriva da BigFrank, un volontario vicino a Mark Nash ("I volunteer with The Canadian Peregrine Foundation"), che ci regala un'altra foto di Linn (27 gennaio):
"I was to see her on Sunday, and first saw her in flight. She then landed on a very tall flagpole which gives a good view of the area. Though she clearly had a full crop, she wasnt too full to terrorize the local pigeon population."

Aspettando che prima o poi (adesso è un po' presto, non ha ancora compiuto un anno..) un maschio prenda a corteggiarla e sia accettato da lei, riporteremo le notizie su questo stesso thread. Quando avrà messo su famiglia, forse le servirà uno spazio tutto suo.
La gioia di ritrovare un giovane - nato, cresciuto e involato sotto i nostri occhi - sano, salvo e libero in un suo territorio è incredibilmente grande.
Anche perché capita così raramente.
Gooooooooooo Linn!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
