Re: [cayugabirds-l] peregrines on Bradfield Hall

2015-02-27 Thread Dave Nutter 
Males aren't just smaller, they're slimmer. You may notice a bit of difference 
in head shape, too, male more rounded, female more flat on top. These 
particular birds differ in their face pattern, but I think that's an individual 
variation, this male has a more completely black side of the face, while this 
female shows more white separation between the sideburn and the nape. There may 
also be some other plumage differences, but I'm not as certain - male with 
blacker barring below, female more murky. Male blacker on helmet? Not sure if 
their backs are the same hue. See if any of this agrees with your observations.

Around 8:20am today, one was feeding in the same area you saw the male feeding 
two days ago. Btw, how do you distinguish gender? Just relative size?

Here’s an iPhone-through-binoculars photo:

And, I agree that this pair deserves a nest box, complete with cameras.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] peregrines on Bradfield Hall

2015-02-25 Thread Dave Nutter 
At 7:25am the male was feeding perched on one of 2 very high larger ledges in 
the middle of the east side of the building, while the female was perched on 
one of the small ledges 3/4 up the west side of the building. At 8:22am she had 
not moved but he had moved down to a smaller ledge 3/4 up the east side. My 
next chance to look was at 4:02pm when I saw none on either east or west side.

Considering that there wouldn't even be Peregrine Falcons in eastern North 
America today if not for the work of Tom Cade and others at Cornell in the 
1970s, I think a nest box should be put on Bradfield Hall in their honor. This 
pair of Peregrines clearly like this building. I'd love to see their work truly 
come to fruition.

One of the Peregrines just flew in front of my office window heading towards 
Bradfield. I think it came to check out on pigeons on Vet school!
