Bird Cams Around the World

The nest must be looked after even in the snow.

Aww poor thing! Thats how ours in Canton, OH looked until lately... we are supposed to have warmer temps coming so hopefully the snow will melt... Is that Dorothy or E2?

I'm sorry Tsusan, I do not know for sure, but they were so cute.

It's hard to be sure, but I think this is E2, based on the size, the whiter bib, and the shape and length of the malar stripe.

I have seen "E2" stated to be his band number on several sites, It isn't; he was unofficially named Erie 2 before it was known who he was, and that was shortened to E2. A 2005 son of Tasha and Louie at the Gulf Tower, his bands are black/green *5/*4.

I can't believe that beautiful Dorothy will be fourteen this year; she is the same age as SW and Belinda at the King nest, and a year younger than KathyQ in Indy. It's hard to realize that E2 will be eight years old.

Here's a link to a history of PA Falcons by Kate St. John. TSusan and Matrix found this thought our PA friends would enjoy reading it.

Thanks so much for posting that report. Brought back a few sad memories that I had almost forgotten, but no falcon should ever be forgotten. I think that I will start a notebook and place reports like this in it for reference.

Hi - I clicked on the cam link, and it said "link not found"?

Although it says Cathedral of Learning is no longer there, it is there. I just got to the nestbox by using that link. Here is the direct one:

(I left the main link there thinking that people might like to explore some of the other nests, too.)

Ok the view changed...not sure I like it....

I forgot about that but I saw them working yesterday. They were there for a good while. Didn't see a falcon. Poor babies, they all hate it when people are present.

Thanks for the info, Beth. Yep, Dorothy won't put up with humans (or anything else) invading her territory!
