That is teeny tiny. Like the size of the baby toads in the yard when I cut the grass. I always wait for them to move out of the way before I proceed.   

   That was waaaaay cute!  Thanks for sharing Bobbie. 

Thanks, MAK -  I miss you too!  Things are looking up a bit, so maybe I'll be able to join you again soon.  I've been reading all of your reports; you've turned into a real pro!        I bet you'll be one of the "Frosted Flakes" this coming winter!!!

PS.  I know Dan doesn't do computers, so give him a big hug for me!!!

Will do Carla and I hope to see you soon!

   Thanks for sharing Annette!   

   I've thought of you often Carla!  I hope all is well. I miss you and your smile. And also your kind words from that day. 

MAK-A-DOODLE    the "stoop magnet"  wants to know what's wrong with my camera?! It's not like I know how to get my pics posted here on the forum anyway. You have all been spoiled by those other cameras!    I know you pay more attention to my pics cuz it's so hard to find the subject!
   Nobody needs to thank me for watching and reporting on the falcons    Believe me when I say it has been my privilege and pleasure to make these beautiful creatures part of my everyday life this summer.  The most memorable one of my life!
   I cherish all the friends I have made.     I've enjoyed all the stories and knowledge I have gained from all of you. I must give a special thank you to my bud Donna though, for she was right there with me the whole way!    

                                       

   Yes, big karma for Joyce and Shaky!!!   

   Thank you so much Bobbie for bringing this to us. I love the mountain gorillas!   

From the news piece and the film series, it seems we had better start loving them pretty quick-smart. Don't you just wonder which wildlife efforts to support next!

I wonder all the time how much more suffering the human race can bestow upon the earth and it's creatures. Sadly, people just don't get it! Hopefully the current and future generations will become more aware and save this planet from itself.

    Thank you so much Bobbie for bringing this to us. I love the mountain gorillas!   

 

    Good one Ei!   

   Holy moly that's alot of cats on 1 page.! They are absolutely adorable. I especially liked the lobster kitty in the pot! Thanks Donna.      

Good morning Rochester falcon watchers!  Unfortunately Donna has only been able to report for me sparingly as her phone is not holding a charge.  On the Broad St. bridge Lynda joined Dan and I. Shortly after Lynda arrived, Debbie H came by on her way to work for a short stay. Our little guy Archer was busy this morning! As Lynda called it, he did a quadruple performance. 4 stoops in an hours time right in front of us! His first was off the OCSR building missing and flying to the base of Mercury. 2 more stoops off Mercury missing and flying to the SW corner of the Convention center. First time I've seen a falcon on there. A crow landed a foot away from him and started harassing him,then another one did the same. After a brief time Archer lost patience with them stooped on and chased the original crow out of there and returned to the base of Mercury. Dan left and missed the grand finale by just a couple minutes. Archer stooped on a small bird that flew just above the surface of the river. Came up with it in his talons and proceeded to fly to the north side of OCSR. We cheered wildly for his efforts. The whole time Beauty remained on the SW corner seemingly unfazed by her mates performance. I checked before leaving and sure enough Archer was on the top Ibeam north corner opposite his Beauty who was on the west corner. What a wonderful watch on a late August morning in Rachacha!

 

I went back downtown from about 10:30 -2:45. I spent time below the OCSR along the walkway next to the river, on the Andrews st. bridge and eventually the high falls pedestrian bridge. Beauty and Archer were on the north side of OCSR the entire time changing back and forth between the 2nd and 3rd Ibeams. Their energy level defies all reason. No juvies unfortunately!
