falcon finale

Things have been busy lately between cleaning two houses and packing! So for the silence, we offer our apologies. It is at least with good news that we wrap up our ~2 months with Aplomado Falcons.

10 September - 93 showed up for dinner carrying his own small, unidentified snack.

8 September - 16, 95, H7, 93... two birds from Group I, two from Group III. 95 had been gone since 1 September, so it was a surprise to see him again.

Here are the final numbers for our groups - since most birds were at or just under 40 days when released, you can base "Age Last Seen" on that. Good news: pretty much anything over 61 days, in this case, counts as successful.

  1. Nowhere, actually =)

    We decided that we liked Marathon, so with some innovative job and housing inquiries, we're set to stay indefinitely! It won't exactly be field biology type work, but at least it's a gorgeous area with neat critters. Come visit?

  2. " won't be exactly field biology type work " ...

    It's all in the periphery, all in the periphery.
