Join us in our streaming video chat to ring in the New Year together on new Year's Eve. We'll count down to midnight while making fun of the ugly Planet Fitness hats on TV at Times Square in NYC.

Then on New Year's Day, Rochester falcon watchers and fans are invited to gather again to give thanks for a successful 2023 Falcon Season! We'll gather at 9 am at our normal spot on Broad St in front of the Blue Cross Arena.

Once again, I will attempt to stream it live from my phone on Rfalconcam Channel 1. The channel will go off the air around 9 and return a few minutes later with a view from my phone. If not, try refreshing the page a couple of times.

Hope to see you there!

It seems I lost my mind...I never posted the final feeding chart of the season! Better later than never?

Thank you!

My favorite of the holiday greetings I've done over the years is this one.

Haiku Time!  The Haiku is a Japanese poetic form that consists of 3 lines, with 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second and 5 in the third. It's  been a long time since we had fun with Haikus!

Tries to write falcon Haiku.
It is really bad.

I didn't try to write a falcon haiku, I did write a falcon haiku. Although it is self admittedly a very bad falcon haiku.

Watcher Carol P.
Does write a falcon Haiku.
Says it's really bad.

I donated just after midnight so it?s not me although I got an email about the $500 win.

If you got an email from them saying your name was chosen, then it was you regardless of the time the bonus was awarded. Congrats!

[Good job, everyone!In addition to the two $500 bonuses, we've raised nearly $600! Remember there's a random drawing of a donor's name for an additional $500 every odd hour, so making a small donation every 2 hours puts your name in the hat.]
