Rhea Mae

Tuesdays Take Flight
Rhea Mae 2007
Followers of the Kodak falcons have been blessed this year. One of the fledges from the 2006 season, regal Rhea Mae, has found a new home. She now roosts with her new mate Tiago in Toronto, Canada. She and Tiago occupy a nest on the Sheraton Hotel. Lucky for us there is a camera and a watcher who sends watch reports. Falcons face a high mortality rate their first year of life. It is so gratifying to know that one of our fledges is alive and well.

Very cool that Rhea Mae has made a new home so close! Maybe you can get up and visit her one of these days!

Do we now have a family that will only nest in tall commercial buildings? I guess with the decrease in wild areas everything has to adapt.

I've developed a new appreciation of birds, looking at your site, and having moved to Florida where there are a lot of cool birds.

I love the pants on this one!
