Yes, you read correctly. We are tentatively planning the NEXT Rochester Falcon Watcher Weekend. This week worked out so well, we thought we'd plan it for the same week next year.
So if all goes well, we will plan the 2018 Falcon Watch Weekend for
June 22, 23 & 24
If there are any changes or additional information, it will be posted here.

OK-room booked at the Holiday Inn (used to be Rochester Plaza I think)! Riverside is sold out (or so they say) and Hyatt & Hilton were a bit pricey for that weekend.

You are correct. The Rochester Plaza Hotel became a Holiday Inn on 2015.
Also, for those not familiar with the name Riverside (aka Rochester Riverside Hotel), it used to be the Radisson. It changed ownership last October. Interestingly, The Riverside was a Holiday Inn many years ago.

Carol Lukka told me the International Jazz Festival is scheduled for this week. Might be why the hotels are full.

I don't think I'll be able to make it again this year. With four scrapes down (Water St, Jersey City, Cadence at Union County, Riverside Church) here all ready to fledge at the same time as Rochester I want to be close to home.

We've been following the weather forecast for this weekend and it sadly doesn't look good. Looks like rain both Saturday and Sunday. I keep hoping it will change.
We plan on meeting on Aqueduct St, aka "the hole", since the juvies are still staying close to the Times Square Bldg. Plan on meeting there around 8 am and we plan on bringing breakfast to share.
Hopefully it won't be a total rainout. Be sure to bring an umbrella and rain gear!
Can't wait to see all that are coming to visit!

Hi, all of you there tonight. As soon as I can if the rain lets up, I'll be with Cadence in Elizabeth. If time permits in JC for Juliet and the kids.

Most of my pictures from the weekend are really for my personal memory only...my cameras can't get as close as the photographers in the group. But I do have 2 just for Carol.
The Great Race was passing through Rochester this morning while we were on watch. Carol saw one go by with flags on the back, but she missed getting a picture.
Well, guess what I saw on my way home?
Not only did I pass it and get a picture from the car, they pulled into the rest area for gas just as I was finishing filling up!
