Thanks, Shaky!   

Looks like the three youths who murdered 15 Laysan albatrosses and destroyed 17 eggs and 17 nests in Hawaii in December of 2015 may get off easy, unfortunately.

Shaky, we appear to have lost video and stills from Cam 3.  

More problems with insects there! At least they didn't jump to their deaths this time, but still, this is very sad.   

The one in front is eyeing the tiny morsel at DC's feet hungrily. He/she actually bit DC's feet a couple of times  until DC finally had enough and flew out to the main cam. 

Not yet, sweeties.

Well, anyway, however you all say it, I'm honored to have been chosen to name one this year! Thank you guys!! I hope she goes on to live a great life and has a nest like Cadence, with a cam but with no battles! As soon as you're chosen to pick a name, you automatically feel like this chosen Falcon......is your kid! My heart is pounding already and she didn't even hop out on the poop deck yet!! I'm in for some Xanax I feel!! I just became a 1st time G'ma and now I have another to worry about! But that's me, on with the day!!
  

I think we're all like that. Although my chance to name an eyas came via the Rfalconcam poll, Rosetta is still my special girl! Still hoping she's spotted someday with babies of her own!

Same here, Ei.  Even though my only chance to ever name an eyas was also through the Rfalconcam poll, I'll always think of Genesee as my special boy.

Me too.  I was one of two or three people who submitted the name Mercury to the Rfalconcam poll, and he will always be my special boy. 

properly pronounced shar-LOT!

Actually, us locals who were raised near the lake have always pronounced it sha-LOT. The r is silent. However,  I'm sure Donna pronounces it shar-lit as in Charlotte, South Carolina. Just sayin'  

There are actually two opinions on that.  I've heard both Sha-LOT and Shar-LOT.  I was raised about a mile from the lake and we always pronounced it Shar-LOT, with the r not being silent.

Haha Pat! I too, was raised a mile from Charlotte and never heard it pronounced Shar-LOT until I was grown up. Many people do pronounce it that way but me and my peeps leave the r sound out of it. 

Well, at least we agree on the most important thing, that the accent is most definitely on the second syllable. 

Ah, let's just go to sleep.  Maybe the bling will be gone when we wake up."

"Do you have the bling too?" "I'm looking, but this one won't get out of my way."  

"Okay, so what is this bling I have now?  Do you have it too?" "Yup, I've got it too."
