Rfalconcam Forum

It was suggested that we should have an area to collect holiday greetings from Forum members.  I thought this would be the perfect spot.

 :chriscat: :chrispup: :snow2: :christree: :natale3:

K, I'll start. While Jemison dreams of Santa, Callidora has something else on her mind.

:hysterical: Good one!!

this is a replay from 2006, but maybe everyone has memories as bad as mine:

dale

Dale, Donna, & Patti - all are wonderful and recycling some "old" favorites is always appreciated.   :clap:

Good start gals!   :clap:

I have lots and lots of past greetings that I'll start posting here, including some from lost members.  Some are classics!

and keep the new ones coming too!

Maybe some will make it over to Rfalconcam Facebook, along with all the Watcher reports.   :thumbsup:

Rerun...I think I posted this one last year...

when I look at lorikeets I feel like I'VE been at the eggnog.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

 :clap: 

Meant to say that I really liked your J&C's 1st Christmas Ornament Donna.  Good job!   :clap:

and who can resist a very colorful Lorikeet.   Thanks Patti!   :cockatiel_yellow:

and Big Frank.  Such a beautiful Peregrine!  Thank you!   :falcon:

Hey Cali...what should we get Mom for Christmas this year???

Happy Holidays Everyone!!

Thanks Carol!  Happy Tears here - Man!  Marty and Maytag and little Linn!

Thanks indeed, Carol! Good ole Marty and Maytag. They were quite a pair, weren't they?

I loved her Maytag! Love them droopy dogs, so cute.

 :heart:

Keep an eye on "picture of the day" on the main page.   :wave:

                                                   :chriscat:

Here's MAK'S greeting. She made it and tried to post it but....well.

A BEAUTY-FUL greeting.

2007 - A greeting from Linda Woods and Rhea Mae.

Absolutely!   ;)

He is so darn cute!

Carol, who made this one?? Is it yours?

What a sweet card!!! ....it's precious!!!

 :christree:

 I know, I just adore his cute face.  :heart:

Yes, Donna.  I made this one.   :wave:

Found it when I was going back through the old stuff.

Carol P.

OK, thanks!

Yes, Donna.  I made this one.   :wave:
Carol P.



Remember how the "X Files" ended with a kid saying "I made this!"

Yes, Bobbie!  Loved the X-Files!   :happy:

Lots of great blasts from the past!

Speaking of making stuff, Donna's daughter made the santa that is her current avatar!  A very creative family!  Yes, I'm blowing your horn, Donna!

I was wondering about that. I couldn't pin it down. Great job! It bowled me over.

 :yes:  It's true, they collected about 40 bowling pins from the local alley!   :christree:

Nice job Donna's daughter!   :clap:

What a pin-head...LOL. Yes, we make these and my daughter gives them to her friends on the bowling league. Oh what fun it is....we are doing team snowmen now. GO .......!

Funny Janet!

Just acknowledging that talent streak!   :clap:

 :devil:  AND Where would you like them to go to?  :devil:

Hey, hey, hey!  Play nice Janet!   :lol:

A 2005 Greeting from Linn P (with a little help from Dale).  Linn, my friend, I will never forget you.   :heart:

I remember this, liked it then and even more now!  :heart:

and now for some of our stranger holiday greetings.  A 2005 greeting from Mirta.

How about this one from Hannah & her snail!  Another 2005 greeting.

I said ewww then and I'll say ewww now but a very nice greeting Mirta! She loves her arachnids.

Where did Hannah go? Anyone heard from her? She always had great snail stories!

I exchange email with her semi-regularly...she's out there!

I seriously learned a whole lot about snails from Hannah.  Glad you're still in touch with her Dale.  Please say hi to her from us the next time you "talk" to her.   :happy:

Yes dale, say hi from me too. She added fun to the KFC!

Shaky's a real comedian :laugh: You gotta love it  :2funny:

But Donna these are really cute...great job your daughter did on these!!  :clap:

That is so sweet and precious!  :heart:

This is waaay cute! :clap:

 :2funny:  Just counting the old Cowboy rings .... 

I am really loving this walk down Memory Lane!  So many great "old" greatings.  Marcia, Paul and Lou had a couple of great ones from 2007?? 

Ok, people, that is your assignment today!

I see the Jets lost last weekend by some crazy score... I reckon they were playing their cheerleaders.

LOL, yes, they got creamed!

Hold on there Janet I believe as a Steelers fan I have more rings to count than you!  :harhar:

So, while browsing for any prior year greetings I had saved (I still have not in any way figured out what program it is you all use to create these), I ran across this from the 2007 falconcam classroom art project...



Ei

That is so cute!  :rofl:

Adorable!  :clap:

Ei,
I created mine using the picnik site on Yahoo....It's fun and easy...you just download a photo from your computer and they have the frames and stickers (like the hats) right there...just drop and drag to the image to the size you want it and where.  Best of all the basic service is free.
 :2thumbsup:


 :christree:

Thanks for the tip!  I have actually used that tool on flickr, but not for this.  I should have thought of it! 

Ei

I tried that one but it wants a monthly fee to use. Hey FF which site do you go to?

I just heard a rumor that the Bills won!  Did I drink too much wine  :devil:

It's not a rumor and I doubt you drank too much wine!  :abs-cheers: :harhar: :gum:

PS

Hey Donna,
I was using it for free right off the Yahoo home page...they only suggested I sign up for a more enhanced selection...I did sign up by the year as I use it a lot to enhance photos and google images for my You Tube & Dailymotion videos.

 :natale3:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddVZOK_9UUI&feature=player_embedded#! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddVZOK_9UUI&feature=player_embedded#!) Well, this just has to be played every year. So funny.

 :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :gum:

Thanks Donna!  Haven't heard it in a few years - well worth the repeat! :christree: :chriscat:

OK, here's a Kaver :heart: greeting from Janet. :heart:

That is so lovely!!! :heart:


 :chrispup:

 :mbanana:  I like it!  :star:

Hi Folks,

enjoy the holidays and have a great start into 2011!

Attached is a greeting from some feathered friends outside my window.

Cheers
Baerbel

We could be looking out the same window, Baerbel! Which I have been doing since around 10am today as I made the pumpkin pie, stuffing, cranberry sauce, a vegetarian nut roast for Rod... We have loads of northern Thrushes with us, but we are very much missing the Greenfinches - do you have these? We have not seen a single one, sadly. Nor has our Blackcap paid us a visit yet, in spite of the inviting apple perched on a pole right within my view. And we have three Robins out there - they spend more time - and energy! - chasing each other away than they do feeding.

Again - Merry Christmas!

Bobbie
 :shiver: (This is me, all bundled up in our snowy Ireland!)

 :wave: Lovely pics Baerbel and Annie!  :thumbsup:

Joyce, this is one of your pics. Hope you don't mind that I used it. :tongue2:

Merry Christmas everyone :chriscat:

Hi!!
2010 has been a year plenty of trips and work, and now we are preparing our daughter`s farewell bcs she`ll be moving on December 29th to Switzerland to start her PhD. I was remembering few days ago that I found rfalconcam when she started her studies and I went to visit her to La PLata city, in 2005.  So, I`ve had little time to write here... but always try to read as much as possible. You are one of the greatest group of people I`ve ever met by the internet!
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and the Happiest New Year!
We will be celebrating 2 YEAR of the Bats promoted by UNEP, CMS, Eurobats, BCI and several other partners. 2011 will be Year of the Bat in Europe, and 2012 all over the world, so my Christmas card must be a Bat one!!

Hugs  :spider:

Mirta

A Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All!

.....Carol Ann

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

My gift is this video of Jemison and Beauty.  It starts out with Jemison running across the "well wall" and knocking Beauty off.  Beauty then flies back and forth, coaxing her young son to fly.  He of course isn't quite ready and let's her know.  and if you look really closely, you can see Callidora standing next to main camera, watching.

Enjoy!

Carol P.

Thanks for this video gift Carol! :heart:

                       "Calli!  I think I hear Santa Claus!"

 :thumbsup:

Merry Christmas everyone. Think I hear Santa coming.

Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before...
"Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store...
"Maybe Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more..."

Bless you all!

Bobbie

"Pray that we miss the bulk of it - 8 hours of driving tomorrow in good conditions!" 

 :snow2:  I'll be praying for your safe return home.  :pray:

Thanks, my friend.  It is really pretty here and right now the roads are white and slushy.  Overnight will tell the tale....
 
"I don't not like green eggs and ham

 :ditto:

Thanks!  That was a picture of Beauty on a chimney on the building in front of the Widows Walk.  It was just before Jemison and Callidora fledged.  She flew down to the Chimney and retrieved a cache, which she brought up to J&C at the nest box.  It was the first time I saw either Beauty or Archer go down to this building.

From Maureen over on the FB page...

"That silhouette is actually Mariah after she was released by Mike out near Montezuma."


Ei

Beautiful! ;D

Has to be one of the best! Thanks, Maureen... via Ei. People surely have been clever with their cards this year. By the time Christmas 2011 rolls around, maybe I will have cracked the code.

Beautiful picture!  :yes:
