DotCa In Rochester

April 02, 2012 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre

Frank Butson Reports:

A real-life drama has been going on for the past several months in Rochester NY, right in downtown Rochester. As many may know by postings, CPF has a strong relationship with The Rochester Gang, so we have been following their winter and spring challanges. Over the winter they learned of the deaths of 2 of the offspring from their site. It began with  news that Callidora a 2005 Rochester chick,passed in Pennsylvania.  With in days Sabrina/Valiant the resident male at the Prescott Ogdensburg Bridge, hatched in 2006 in Rochester being found injured in East Aurora NY and eventually succumbing to his injuries.

On the heels of those losses Beauty the resident female in Rochester was injured in a fight with Unity. Beauty has made a great recovery and will be released soon,complicating things.

A week ago,Archer, hatched in 2006 at the ADM Mills nestsite in Port Colbourne, the resident male in Rochester, was injured. The Rochester gang have been keeping a keen eye out for/on Archer for a week, showing just how dedicated they are to “their falcons”. We are following this situation closely. Today, a new male was seen in the nestbox with Unity and her egg. We can confirm with photos that the male being seen in the nestbox with Unity and her egg wears a black over black band, white 13 over white Y (13/Y). This new male is DotCa from the Etobicoke Sunlife Centre,hatched in 2010. DotCa has been seen mating with Unity also. We will keep you up to date as to what happens from here out.

Thanks to Kathy M and Terka for the photos they captured from the Rochester Falcon camera.
