Get a great collectible while helping to support Rfalconcam.

We've been working hard over the past year. We've moved cameras between nest boxes. We've purchased and installed new cameras. We've tracked Quest across eastern Canada, New York, and New England. We've upgraded and expanded our web site. We've made it easier for you to get the latest news about the falcons by our increased participation in social networks like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. All of this has been done while continuing to provide you with amazing high quality pictures -- the highest quality of any falcon webcam on the Internet.

And we're still working hard. Look for more improvements to our site in the coming weeks. For the first time in the 12 years that falcons have been nesting in Rochester, there will be streaming video. We're currently testing it. In fact, as I type type this, I am watching live video of cars crossing the arch bridge over the Genesee River and listening to a police siren. A few minutes ago, I watched Beauty make a brief appearance on the platform while being greeted by Archer's e-chupping. Soon you will be able to watch scenes like this too.

So please take a few minutes to support Rfalconcam by bidding on this auction.
