Terka!

Pardon the amount of pics, I've wondered about whether the peregrines try to eat frozen leftovers or not, and Tahoe showed that they do try, and she gave up after a bit, but not before tussling with the frozen carcass for a few minutes. It does explain to me, why, during watches at Canton, there is not any hunting activity after a "thaw"... I speculate that after the warming, all the frozen "leftovers" become a feast, therefore no hunting is neccesary.

Here is when she gave up expending energy on the frozen carcass, but not before looking at it a while.

Great series of pics!! Wisconsin is in the deep freeze today...I'm guessing the PeFas had wished they had migrated!!

I've watched Eagles try to eat frozen leftovers with no luck either!!

Thank you for the great pictures, Matrix and Ferenz! Would part of the reason Tahoe comes into the Bio-Sci site because there is more food to be caught in the downtown area?

Tsusan, I would think it is all about the food supply. It seems that a metropolitan area would be warmer than rural.
Just supposing. :flirty:

Thankyou, Ferenz and Terka for helping to keep track of Tahoe. Looks like she finally finished off the frozen prey- and she looks kind of lonely in the last picture, doesn't she?

She was there from 6:39 til 12:08 lot of preening and sleeping after her big breakfast :teehee:

Wow...January 9th was the last time she was here!!? I hope I am Wrong!

Well I don't know who this is, but I would guess it is our girl Tahoe.
I went thru the archives for the past week and only found this. I couldn't tell if there were bands or not

Very much Appreciate it Kittenface! With the shooter of her predecessor still out there, I get nervous over the area she is in, when she suddenly stopped coming to the box...
I still can't believe the $10,000.00 reward did not bring anyone in!!!!!
