Falchi pellegrini a Rochester, NY (Kodak): Mariah&Kaver

[Giovanna]

Si è ripresa, è bellissima! :D
E come li porta i suoi 12 anni!!! :D

[Giovanna]

Intanto a Toronto Tiago cova. :D
E' possibile che questa sia solo una prova per Rhea Mae. Non è detto che ne faccia degli altri o che siano vitali.

[Giovanna]

C'è un articolo molto interessante su 'Imprints' con info sulla fertilità e riproduzione dei FP, alcune note, altre meno.

Because You Want To Know: Reproduction.
Naturalmente prendendo lo spunto dalle domande che vengono poste su Mariah.

#3 for Rhea Mae (Toronto-Sheraton).

Subject: Toronto Sheraton Centre Hotel Nest Site, April 5th 08

Date: Sat 04/05/08 07:28 PM

Report for April 5, 2008

While I have been to the Sheraton and waited for Rhea Mae to come off the nest tray, that hasn't happened so far. But with the camera I have captured this shot of
EGG NUMBER THREE! I am hoping to capture a better image on Sunday.

I promised myself this time that I would arrive at the "crack of dawn" in order to witness a "changing of the guards". Well at 08:00 it has to be "the crack of dawn" somewhere. As I waited the adult was restless on the eggs and I was hopeful that a handing off of the nest was close to happening.
It did about an hour later and at approx 09:15 Rhea Mae appeared on the ledge! and Tiago was more than happy to get up, shake himself off, and leave.
Rhea Mae didn't leave anytime before she settled on the eggs herself. Finally got a photo of the eggs.

************************************************************************************************
Sarò più precisa non appena possibile. Ma è certo che Linn ha trovato un maschietto della sua stessa età (1 anno).
E' decisamente troppo presto perchè si possano accoppiare, ma forse potrebbero stare insieme.. :D :D :D
Comunque il fascino delle ragazze di Mariah è indiscutibile!!!

[Giovanna]

Prometto di mettere ordine non appena trovo il tempo giusto. Tra M&K e le loro due ragazze Rhea Mae e Linn qui c'è abbastanza caos... :roll:

Intanto Rhea Mae a Toronto ha deposto il #4

(Thx, Annie!)

Rhea Mae arriva per dare il cambio a Tiago.
At approx. 09:10 Rhea Mae returned to take over and Tiago very quick leave "mom" to take over the 4 eggs.
Pictures attached are showing Rhea Mae arriving and then settling down on the eggs.

Offspring Update: Mariah’s Daughter in Michigan!
April 14th, 2008

We’ve received some amazing, wonderful news! Rochester Falconcam team member Carol Phillips reports that another of Mariah’s offspring has been found! Ihteram, one of the females from the 2005 brood, is nesting at the beautiful and historic St. Joseph Catholic Church in Detroit, Michigan. Here’s some of the letter that Carol received from Kariann Anderson, SE Michigan Peregrine Falcon Coordinator for the Michigan Dept. of Natural Resources:

Volunteer Barbara was visiting St. Josephs Catholic Church ( Jay Street ) recently as part of her genealogy research and heard the call of not one but two Peregrine Falcons. Tuesday, April 8th we confirmed that the Peregrines have chosen this site and are attempting to nest. The bell tower is approximately 250 feet [high] and the pair spends most of their time perched on light poles that extend near the peak of the tower. We were having difficulty determining male or female (both birds seem comparable in size through our spotting scopes down below). Barb jokingly said “We need them to mate so we can determine who our female is” – within the next 5-minutes we witnessed copulation! We have an unbanded male paired with a banded female (black over red with a sideways 2 on the black and an R on the red)… Prior to leaving the site, we noticed the pair enter a small hole in the screen over the windows near the top of the tower – apparently if they have started to lay eggs it will be on the inside of the church tower.

We’ve been blessed with an abundance of good fortune regarding Mariah’s offspring lately. We now have confirmed sightings of five of the Peregrines that have fledged from the Kodak tower since 2000– Ranger, Freedom, Rhea Mae, Linn, and now Ihteram! 2008 is turning out to be a special year indeed. It will be interesting to see what happens with Ihteram and her mate. It doesn’t appear that the Macomb Audubon Society has any plan to install a webcam at the church, but they post updates on their website so we hope to be able to learn more about this new branch of the Rochester Peregrine family tree!

Here’s a picture of Ihteram published at the Macomb Audubon’s website:

Photographer Barb Baldinger looks like an accomplished digiscoper! Hopefully this won’t be the last picture of Ihteram that we get to see. Many thanks go to Carol and to Juanita Woods, who tracked down the ID band information reported by Kariann and tipped off Carol to Ihteram’s presence.
