Welcome to banding day! To make communication easier, you will not be able to post to this Rfalconcam Now board. You will be able to post to the other boards and chat areas... Title: Re: Banding Day 2018 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 29-May-18, 09:35:18 AM Open 3 browser windows on your computer: one for the Rfalconcam Now board, one for Streaming video, and one for the latest still pictures from our cameras.

Title: Re: Banding Day 2018 Post by: Shaky on 29-May-18, 09:47:18 AM A reminder to anyone coming downtown to watch the banding: do it safely from street level. For your own safety, please do not go up on rooftops.
Title: Re: Banding Day 2018 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 29-May-18, 09:49:17 AM In case you are wondering, the DEC will bring equipment to keep the eyases safe even though they are out on the "falcony"
Title: Re: Banding Day 2018 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 29-May-18, 10:35:57 AM Gathering the eyases!

Title: Re: Banding Day 2018 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 29-May-18, 11:03:24 AM Letchworth, after Letchworth State Park (a wonderful nesting place for peregrine falcons and an absolutely spectacular State Park located only about an hour from Rochester, NY). It's known as "The Grand Canyon of the East."
Title: Re: Banding Day 2018 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 29-May-18, 11:04:30 AM Letchworth is banded black/green 30/BW on the wrong leg :) with red tape
Title: Re: Banding Day 2018 Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 29-May-18, 11:07:13 AM By wrong leg we mean her colored VID band is on her right leg, not her left as is typical.
