Lisa McK has verified that the ROC The Day bonus rewards will be similar to last year's. Every odd hour they will draw a ROCstar's name and give $500 to the charity of their choice. Every even hour $1000 (not $500 like last year) will be given to the organization that had the most donors in the previous 2-hour time period.

Donate between midnight and 1 AM just like last year. The first $500 bonus drawing will be at 1 AM for the hour preceding it.

The first $1000 bonus will be at 2 AM. There's no need to stay up until 2 if you've already donated before 1 AM.

So stay up until midnight, donate, and go to bed!

Starting tonight at midnight!


Let's stay up late and make our donations right after midnight. It doesn't matter how big a donation it is. Whatever you can afford is always appreciated. In fact, you might want to continue to make a series of $1 donations throughout the day tomorrow so you'll have a chance on the odd hours to win the opportunity to have $500 donated to your favorite non-profit.

I believe the link is https://www.roctheday.org/rfalconcam (https://www.roctheday.org/rfalconcam) -- no confirmation yet. Stay tuned to this topic for more information.

:bravo: Good job, everyone!

In addition to the $1000 bonus, we've raised nearly $700! Remember there's a random drawing of a donor's name for an additional $500 every odd hour, so making a small donation every 2 hours puts your name in the hat.

Great job, everyone!

In addition to the $1000 bonus, we've raised nearly $800! With a few more donations, we can make it an even $1000.

And there's still a chance for a lucky donor to get an opportunity to have an additional $500 donated to Rfalconcam. Only 8 hours to go!

We are very close to the $1,222.48 that was donated last year! Can we beat it?

It's been one heck of a year. The hard drives on Main Camera's computer died at the beginning of the year. Replacements were bought, installed, and the system was rebuilt only to have them crash again. And again. Then there were the problems with the antenna for the Internet connection. And after that was all worked out just in time for egg laying, the Main camera that we bought and installed the previous November died just before the eggs hatched. It was replaced earlier this month along with Camera 4, and new computer equipment was purchased to set the stage for a completely redisigned higher quality system next fall.

None of this would be possible without the generosity of our dedicated falcon watchers, both here in Rochester and around the world. Thank you!

And don't forget there's still one more chance for a lucky donor to have an additional $500 donated to Rfalconcam, but you only have until 11 PM!
