I'm not running this project. When someone steps forward to coordinate the collecting and storing of potentially thousands of photos, you can work out the arrangements to get your list to them.

I prefer a pillow.

I don't know, Shaky, she looks pretty darn comfortable... perhaps if you tried the deluxe nestbox, you'd be able to get more 'Beauty' sleep?

I have tried it. It was definitely not comfortable.

Here in Rochester, we have the Beauty-rest Black specialty - the deluxe nestbox - it comes complete with a built-in Beauty beak rest for the ultimate in dozing comfort. Let's see your mattress do that!

I prefer a pillow.

Welcome, ofreyler1!

The first two days are before the time change to EDT - are there any changes that would affect the file naming?

No.

Yes, the names are correct for full resolution photos. For low resolution photos (RFALCONCAM on left and right) the names are

  MainCamera_LowRes_
  Camera1_LowRes_
  Camera2_LowRes_
  Camera3_LowRes_
  Camera4_LowRes_
  Camera5_LowRes_

I'm looking for volunteers to work on recovering the photos captured between March 9 and May 7 that are missing from the Archive. These photos may be found on other wildlife forums on the Internet and in the personal collections of online falcon watchers.

In addition, I would like someone to lead this project who can coordinate the collecting and storing of potentially thousands of photos. This person would be responsible for ensuring that the following conditions are met:

Photos must be unaltered and uncropped. The time stamp on the left side must be visible.

Full resolution photos are preferred. These are the ones that do NOT have RFALCONCAM written down both sides. Low resolution photos (the ones with RFALCONCAM written down both sides) are acceptable if no full resolution version is available.

Photo files must be properly named using our standard date/time format. This is important. Photos are retrieved by the Archive Viewer by name. Improperly named files will not be found.

Collected photos should be stored online so they can be copied into the Archive. This could be a photo gallery site or some sort of file server.  Whatever it is, it must allow the retrieval of the original photo and not just a smaller version of it. It must also preserve the file's name. (See above.)

If the photos are not stored online, then they should be written to DVD and mailed to me. But first a directory listing of the DVD should be emailed to me so I can verify that the names of the files are correct.

There is nothing that forum members who aren't IT-savvy need to do.  Use the Forum as you normally would.

We saw this bear when we were in Alaska last year. The reporter got one thing wrong. The bear was first seen in July, not September.

Just goes to show that you can never predict nature.

Collecting everything is only one piece of the puzzle. Putting everything back in the right place is the hard part, especially on an active system without the help of skilled programmers.

A rare Peregrine sighting? Oklahomans are so deprived.
