Ice this morning

Still a light coating of ice

Oooooo! That sun is only just skidding the horizon!

The shortest day of the year is 2 days away.

Welcome,  Veronica!

A certain Snowy owl perhaps?

Plus 9700 tweets!

ROC the Day has ended, and the final tally is $1300 plus a $500 bonus for a total of $1800!

Thank you to all our generous falcon ROCstars!

Less than 1 hour to go, and the total is now $1044.88 plus the $500 bonus.

Last year we raised $1200 plus a bonus. Surely we can break $1200 this year.

Only $118  to go to reach the $1500 mark. We can do this!

I just got home from work and checked my email.

I am the chosen ROCstar who designated Rfalconcam to receive $500!

Even though it was announced this afternoon, it had to be from early this morning. I have not donated since then.

Our plan worked! 

After many protests and petitions, the disgraceful practice of killing Snowy Owls at New York's airports has been stopped. I saw an item on the news here in Canada last night indicating that these beautiful birds will now be captured and relocated. Possible lawsuits are pending, and the issue of killing other birds at airports is also under discussion.

The organization Friends of Animals in New York, with which I am not familiar, is apparently the one involved in putting an end to the killing of Snowy Owls. Good for them. I hope they will be successful in taking this further to help prevent the killing of other birds at airports.

It too quite a bit of wizardry to make it happen.

Did they not do drawings overnight??

Ill answer my own question-yes they did and they'll have a list tomorrow at mid-day.  I hope they let people know if they won.  they were not putting updates-that I saw-last night-may have been asleep!

Lynne, I emailed them the question too! 

According to the new update-if you had the most people in a two hour period you won money too!

Interesting.

  Is there somewhere to see what's been donated to Rfalconcam so far?

Lisa has that information. She posted on Facebook that as of 10:30 we had raised $581.

 Rochester Greenovation received the $500 bonus from the 6 am drawing.

5 am and back at it.

I haven't seen any updates about drawings on the ROC the Day home page. I wonder if they did any overnight.

As of 5:30 there were only 358 donations. That means there were some really slow hours between 2 and 5 am.

Done and done. Good night.
