I noticed last week that the Powers cam is off. Is the nest coming down?


The camera is off because it is not working properly and there are no plans to fix it.

Gonna poop on your Pronunciation Parade, there, DG - it is "SLAWN-chuh". Put an "S" in front of "LAWN" and you got it! It means "health"... which, at one stage, was an aim of the day, as all the pubs were shut. Really. And the only place to get a drink was at the Dog Show. We went to lots of Dog Shows...

Slainte!

LOL, oh well, I tried!! That word always baffled me! Thanks!!!   "Slainte"!! The first time I looked it up and saw how to really say it, I was like   Shocked

NOTHING in the Irish language looks like the way it should be pronounced! Thus it is that I can say about 3 things... none of which are useful in general conversation. Ya done good there, DG!

No one ever pronounces "Shaky" right either.

Thank you, Dot. The first thing I thought of when I read the title "Beauty in snow !" was a downed falcon.

BH, I was not being rude. I politely reminded you and everyone else reading the Rfalconcam Now board not to post topics here with non-descriptive, alarmist titles and/or pictures. This is explained in this board's first topic "PLEASE DON'T CONFUSE THE WATCHERS." (Yes, this is the exact title of the topic. It's in all caps in order to catch everyone's attention so they will hopefully be considerate enough to our dedicated watchers to read it before posting.)

I apologize if my reply seemed a bit on the terse side, but surely you can understand why. I had already taken the time to post a complete explanation. I simply didn't have the time to repeat it in its entirety again, and, quite frankly, I shouldn't have had to.

You see, much of my time is spent monitoring and moderating Rfalconcam's forum and its social media sites; maintaining and updating the website; fending off spamming and hacking attempts; maintaining, repairing, and upgrading the cameras and computers at Times Square; relaying information to GVAS and DEC and complying with their various rules and regulations; answering technical questions from the falcon community; helping to raise funds to keep Rfalconcam running; and finding ways to save money whenever possible while still providing an informative, educational, and enriching experience for followers of the Rochester falcons.

The above is done on a 100% voluntary basis during whatever time I can find between working a full-time job and maintaining a household and personal life. So forgive me if I don't consult Judith Martin before posting a reminder for what must be the umpteenth time.

Let's try to remember why we're here -- to support the falcons! We must not let bruised egos get in the way of that.

Well, the tweet went out. Can't undo it. My reply was for future reference only.
2831  Rochester Falcons / Rochester Falcon Discussion / Re: 2014 Pictures from the Rfalconcam Cameras on: 13-Mar-14, 08:05:08 AM
Both stopped by for a visit.

These posts get tweeted to watchers on the street. Please use a more descriptive title  ("Beauty in snow!" sounds scary when you don't know that she's in the nest box), and don't attach pictures (watchers can't see them). There's another board on the Forum for pictures.

Carol, go home!  Be safe!  

Where Carol works, they closed at 11. Even before that, managers were telling employees to use their best judgement about staying at work (hint, hint).

She was probably gone by the time you posted.

The Times Square Building is one of the first buildings in Rochester to have photographs of its interior on Google Maps.  Check out the lobby at https://www.google.com/maps/@43.154716,-77.612366,3a,75y,47.05h,76.86t/data=!3m5!1e1!3m3!1sbm1sryuyEPwAAAQJLDyzOg!2e0!3e11 and be sure to click on the arrows and rotate the picture so you get the full effect.  You can even click and drag the arrow so you can see the ceiling.

I wonder how we'd add the elevators and the nest box.
