wnyfalconfan (Joyce): Brian and I just saw Beauty in an uncommon location. She was on funnel of the State St garage.

The funnel as seen from Camera 4.

I never knew this.

Did you ever wonder why no dead penguins are ever seen on the ice in Antarctica?

It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life. The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for life.

If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into, and buried.

The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:
  













  
  
  


"Freeze a jolly good fellow."
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."  

Then, they kick him in the ice hole.

What was the final split between Rfalconcam and GVAS?

I haven't heard anything yet.

Good morning, Beauty.

Like the look of our camera views with the RFalconcam banners.  It really stands out in the crowd.   

Yep, just like we planned it.

Our nighttime views are stunning too. They just need a few falcons.

Has anyone seen this falcon web cam compilation? It's pretty slick, but it is using the wrong URLs for Rochester. I'd like to contact the person in charge to show him/her how to fix it, but I can't find any contact information. It's in the Netherlands.

I finally heard back from them after nearly 2 years. They have fixed the Rochester links, and pictures from Rfalconam's cameras are visible on their site.

Very cool, but they don't have Rhea Mae and Tiago.  

They do now.

or Buffalo either!  http://www.buffalo.edu/webcam/falconcam.html

Sadly, Buffalo's cameras are no longer broadcasting.

Welcome, Ellen!

 

Well, the lights are still on.

Arrival time

And departed at 12:43.

I had a great time when working with a couple of 7th Avenue buyers (born and raised in NYC) that thought the milk originated in the cardboard box!

Wait until they find out where eggs come from.

I love the tracking shots where the camera dollies to the left or right.

Simple. Instead of paying the pilot, say, $100 to fly the ultralight, hand him a camera and pay him $100 to photograph the birds while on the ground. Then he can fly the ultralight for free. Or is it against FAA rules to get paid to photograph birds?

Timbits is Tim Horton's slang for donut holes.
