Second Rochester, New York Female is Pigott!!

May 10, 2012 - Hamilton - Sheraton Hotel

Tracy Simpson Reports:

For weeks now there has been a sub-adult female hanging around in Rochester, New York looking to nest on a building on Brighton Street not far from the territory held by Beauty.  The ladies in Rochester have had a tumultuous year to say the least with Beauty being injured and off to rehab, then Unity taking over her nest box with Archer, then Archer looked injured but stayed high and then disappearing.  Along comes Dot.ca from Etobicoke Sun Life nest site and pairs with Unity who is sadly hit by a car and doesn’t survive.  Beauty was released from rehab and returned to her nest box to find Dot.ca who is now trying to run her out of town and at the same time mating with a sub-adult on Brighton Street.  Phew!!

With all things now stabilized, Beauty and Dot.ca have paired and mated but he has continued to mate with the other sub-adult female.  Just like his dad Jack!!  The Rochester ladies, now that they have had a calm moment, set their sights on identifying this new female and with photos taken just recently, the solid black recovery band marked 43 over X could be seen and coupled with the red and green tape on her USFW band that match our records, we can now introduce you to Pigott as the mystery lady on Brighton Street.  Pigott and Dot.ca continue to be seen together and it is unsure whether they will produce any young this year but it does look like she’s there to stay.  Congratulations Madame X and Surge and of course the Rochester Gang!! 

A big thanks must go out to Joyce, Carol, Mak, Dana, and Kathy for all of their incredible tenacity and work to get the band number on Pigott.  You ladies are awesome!!  Photos to come!!
