Bird Cams Around the World

Here is a link to 9 pretty wonderful photographs of Callidora and Beauty in an aerial food exchange;



(The photographs were taken by Don and reported by Suzanne on the FalconWatch blog on July 29th.)

OMG just gorgeous pictures

Those shots are spectacular!!

The fifth photo is stunning.
And you can clearly see that Beauty is moulting, the long tail feather in the middle is just growing back. Also some of her wing feathers seem to be new and not yet full-sized.
You can comment in the Picasa album by the way, right below each picture, I did leave some words to express my admiration.

Bonnie - Thanks so much for your video of highlights of the Fledge Watchers Weekend. The falcons really did put on a show for you and the others!

Mick - Thanks for the link to those incredible food-exchange photos!

Your welcome everyone!

Yikes Beth! Can't believe I neglected to post it here!

That's what I get for posting at 11 at night.........

Thanks for catching it!

WOW what a great pic!!!

Beauty,I think...

Beautiful shots of Beauty skygirlblue! She looks great in the early morning sun. Dorothy produces such handsome offspring! ..........


Edited; The main camera shots that you zoomed in on are really nicely composed with the patterns of light and shadow. Aesthetically very pleasing!

This news hot off the presses at Imprints!!!!

"As we reported previously reported, Jemison’s recovery has been going very well. She’s been moved to a larger flight cage so that she can exercise her wings in preparation for an eventual release. The rehab specialist taking care of Jemison says that she continues to be feisty and she takes lots of baths in the water bowl provided for her!

We don’t yet know when Jemison will be ready to be released, but we do know that she won’t be released back here in Rochester. The biologists at the DEC have determined that Jemison’s safety could be jeopardized if she’s released in Rochester because so much time has passed since she was injured and taken away. It’s likely that by now Archer and Beauty wouldn’t recognize Jemison if she were returned here. If the adults were to treat her as an intruder she could be re-injured or at least forced out of the territory under unfriendly circumstances. We know everyone was hoping for a different outcome, but releasing Jemison away from Rochester will give her the best chance for safely making it through these next few months, which are crucial to her development into a full-fledged adult. We’re in close contact with the rehabber and the DEC so we’ll make sure to get more information as it becomes available.

Jemison’s release is still some way off though, so in the meantime here are a couple more pictures with those beautiful falcon wings outstretched…"

She is absolutely gorgeous! It's thrilling to see these successfully rehabbed falcons. Too bad they have released all the hack site falcon in Virginia. There is an adult falcon there who teaches them to hunt.

Jemison was released today!!!!
