This could be interesting.  Tomorrow afternoon the intersection of Broad and Exchange will be closed to traffic for at least one block each direction. The Times Square nest box is located at this intersection. Will the film crew put on a show for Beauty and Dot.Ca (and our cameras)?

They are really making a mess of China Town (Pindle Alley). I believe this video was shot from the Sister Cities parking garage.

Pindle Alley, the alley that runs between the Sister Cities garage and the Powers building has been transformed into China Town. It was open today, but tomorrow it will be closed off for filming.

Can you say "Fledgewatchmobile"?

Tents on State St. next to the Crossroads building. No rain in sight. Are the looking for shade?

There was food under the tents.

8:58 Shaky

What did you do Shaky, rewire the night cam and disconnect the HD cam?

That's pretty much it. We still need to go back and troubleshoot the high-res system next week.

Hey, whatever works! Right now, it does! 

Remember that when you start trying to read bands on the falcons in the nest box.

Until we can fix Main Camera, the night camera will be running in it's place. It will provide pictures for the archive, but they are not nearly as detailed as the kind from Main Camera that allow you to see the individual barbs in Beauty's feathers.

Welcome, Adri12345!

I tried, but I can't fix it. Kenn has been notified.

Unless the camera starts working on its own, don't expect it to be available anytime soon.

Yes, I know.

Working on it without much success. I have to go to work now. I'll try again after I get there.

[Stunt crash gone wrong]

Stunt crash gone wrong - Found this video from Thursday's 5/2 crash. I believe same one rfalconcam caught on cam.

Amazing Spiderman 2 Stunt Crash Gone Wrong

Note in the aftermath photo, the bench and concrete planter are smashed to bits. The two cars that were crashed have white license plates. Since the cars for the movie all have yellow plates, wonder if these two cars are actual Rochester vehicles. Powers Building was lucky.

All cars on the set were placed there by the movie crew. I read somewhere that they offered $3000 to some local car owners to use their cars on the set with the provision that they might get banged up.
