Thanks Kris. I love the name Orion! When I lived in Rochester, I always looked forward to seeing Orion in winter. (Fortunately, Orion still watches over the winter sky in Delaware.)

Beauty and Orion

Thanks Kris and Yay...that's a great name!! Just got home from food shopping and I see Beauty and Orion in the nest box :sum10:

I'm a bit worried as there has been no sign of my big boy DC since yesterday's banding. Hope he's okay.


Someone said on chat yesterday that he was seen approaching the nest box around 5 PM then was seen hunting over the river after.

Orion is a beautiful name. :girlluv: Thanks for the coverage and pics, and thanks, SuzanneH for the videos!

I'm happy Beauty feeded Orion this morning. Now I wish DotCa will show up. Or at least to read/ learn/ know he is fine. :girlyes:

Thanks Kris, hope he's just keeping low cause of the humans and the heat :sum2:


Ezsha just reported from 6 PM last nite:

Coming back to the TSB, I saw a pefa catching thermals above the Old Changing Scenes restaurant, possibly hunting a meal. I believe from the shape it was DC. He was doing huge circles, when all of a sudden a much smaller bird decided to attack (kestrel?).

The smaller bird was flying great guns, and almost got to DC, when in a split second, DC did an aileron roll to prevent contact. (No wonder the military studies these guys for flight!) The little guy chased DC from the OCSR west past Times Square before I lost sight, with DC not appearing distressed or at full speed, and doing those amazingly quick rolls the three times his pursuer almost caught up to him.


He's probably cooling off somewhere. Several of the watchers are at Central Terminal in Buffalo doing a fledge watch and MAK appears to be the only one out DT. Easy to miss seeing him-hopefully later.

On chat, they are saying they didn't see DC on camera but they heard him drop off lunch to Beauty just a little bit ago!

Orion is definitely captivating and funny. Love his stance as if he has his "hands" on his hips. And oh how lovely those new feathers are!

Love the name and all the pictures.

I haven't had time to watch very much and running around doing stuff today, but just took a peek at him. So darn cute. He's calling to Mom who is on the top of cam 4 (DC's thingie). I think Orion inherited Beauty's honk!!

I could swear he's honking at the end of some of his calling.

I'm hoping he gets Dad's hearts too.

OMG! One minute Orion was in the box looking up . . . and the next minute he was out of the box next to his mom.

Gee - I left to get coffee and when I got back I see that he's back in the box already! He's one smart - and very agile - falcon.

Cute pictures, Carly. Now if DotCa would just show up at the nest box it would make my day!

DC has been found--with the other woman, Piggott!

Edit: Sorry Carly--I didn't realize you had already posted this good news.

Thank you for the link to Kitty's videos carly. I think the "jump" from the box was more like a tumble. :nailbite: Not too graceful at all.
Getting back in much more calculated. :sum10:

Thanks for all the wonderful pictures and especially the news that DC has been located - even if it was with the "Other Woman"!!!
