Since we did not have eyases of our own in 2011 and it was such an off year, it was my idea to put together a calendar including "Rochester Falcons" that have left the area and have successfully nested and raised families of their own.  heart wub2 heart 

My call for help to our CPF friends brought an outpouring of shared pictures of our girls.  Many thanks to all of them.   clap

We spent many hours watching them while they were here in Rochester and now as adults in Toronto.

I truly hope that we will have young of our own next year.

I hope that everyone will enjoy this calendar filled with beautiful pictures of Rhea Mae, Linn and Quest and their new families.  I think you'll be very impressed with the beautiful pictures in this calendar.   Thanks.

I will always be teary when I see the precious photo of Kaver with Mariah heart heart heart Archer should have inherited some of those wonderful qualities.

I remember when Cali fledged.  She so wanted to be with her brother.  Sweet baby!  We really did not think she would make that leap but there she went!  I don't know if first flights are traumatic for the birds but they sure are for the watchers!  The biggest surprise, I think, was with Sacajawea who fledged at night, just as the watchers were leaving.  It might have been an oops kind of flight.  Kaver was on the other side of the playpen(the base of the tower where the nestbox was on Kodak) and she might have been going toward him.  Instead, she ended up flying, kind of.  I think it was about 9 PM. 

One of the things I will always remember about Jemi, aside from how sad it was that he was grounded (and it was very sad), was how absolutely beautiful he was.  We knew this from the camera but to see him up close was breathtaking.  We so wanted him to be better so he could be released back to the nest.  Calidora did fine but they would have had such fun together. Sad

I believe you are correct about Sacajawea Jeanne.  She was definitely a premature fledge.  She got to flapping her wings and it seemed that a wind gust lifted her and .... well, off she went.  Much to the shock of the gathered Watchers that were getting ready to head home.   Shocked

You've probably been wondering why I decided to open a Rochester Falcons Story section.  I wanted to show how easy and fun it is to look up information within the rfalconcam site.  Please consider helping out with this very important project.   logo

Time to Get the Rochester Falcon History Project Under Way!

Now that winter is almost here, it's the perfect time to start gathering information for the Rochester Falcon History Project.

Below is a list of volunteers.  Please verify by Monday, December 12th if you are still able to help with the project.  If you are not listed and you would like to help out, please respond here by Monday, May 12th.  All help is welcomed. 

After we have our volunteers, each of you will be assigned a "section" to work on.  We will start by assigning a year to each volunteer.  It will be your job to gather information about that year in a central area that all of you will be able to access.

We have set up a Wiki page on PBworks where each volunteer can add information.  Each of you will be sent log in information.  If using the page directly turns out to be a problem for anyone we’ll figure something out.  We’ve set up a sample assignment page, but none of this is written in stone…all suggestions are welcome-giving most volunteers a year to work on.

We think what we need to focus on first is just gathering the information that’s out there into one place.  This is all open for discussion.  For "your year" you would start by going into the postings made in that year on either Kfalconcam (KFC) or Rfalconcam (RFC).  Go through the postings looking for stories, historical tidbits, other interesting factoids and just copy & paste them onto your page.

Examples:
-I just went to July, 2004 on KFC & found a note from Paul Hamilton about Maryann from 2000 with mentions of 2001 & 2002. Rather than figure out where each piece should go, I copied & pasted it in 2004.
-Carol’s Mariah & the school children story just posted on RFC has been copied & pasted in 2011.  There’s no year listed, but it will most likely show up in an old KFC post too from when it happened.

Once everything is gathered, we can figure out when it all happened and put it all where it belongs.  There are other places to hunt for info, but we think a good starting point is our own boards.  Then we can write an actual history.

Thanks so much to all that are able to help out with this project.
