Finally, after all these years, I've caught me a haggis!

I got 4 in 1 night...tonight...only took since 2006....LOL 

They really are out & about tonight!

Finally, after all these years, I've caught me a haggis!

P- PINTAIL   Northern Pintail duck...Easy to ID cause of the long pointed tail.
Maybe someone can post a pic for me

Here you go!

I love the hustle & bustle too-that's why we met up before Christmas.  This was WAY beyond hustle & bustle.  I literally had a panic attack...felt like I was suffocating. 

Ei

That's what you get for living in a town with only one traffic light.

Well, we have 2 now  .  But I grew up in Brooklyn.  I know from hustle & bustle.  Trust me, this was scary insane.

Great tree. I'm going soon.

Just don't go on a weekend.  I made that mistake once-went down to hang out with my cousins from NJ-OMG!  Remember that Star Trek episode with the overpopulated planet?  That's what it was like trying to go down 5th Avenue.  Never imagined in my life I'd feel claustrophobic on a city street!

Ei

Oh boy, yes, we are going on a WEEKEND. It's OK, I love hustle and bustle, I  think! 

I also want to go to Hoboken and get a cake from the "Cake Boss". I know I'll never get in there.

Oh, come on!  You can rant better than that!     I want a 1949 Hudson so I can run those fools off of the road.

Well, probably, but this is a family forum   

...no response needed 

For &*%$# sake!  If you're afraid to drive in the rain, STAY OFF THE ROAD!!!

Rant over...I feel better...Ei

I just checked some of my old files -- back to 2002.  Have various pictures through the years -- some comments -- messages from Birdman, etc.  Maybe some of this will help?

That's just the sort of thing we'll be looking for!

Ei

The only thing that I can recognize is the Kodak tower...  Don't know the others well enough to pick them out from this angle...  That's some bird feast!  Hope you're right that the crows etc. are safe!  That pile of grain is quite a lure!  

Thanks for catching the photo for us all, Carol!

It is an odd angle to see the landmarks.  We're accustomed to thinking pretty much straight north & south-this view is west/northwest.  I recognized it because that's the exit I use entering Rochester.  Here's a marked up version (I think I got them all right-and the name of the bridge is....)




edit to add-Susan B Anthony/Frederick Douglas bridge, right?

Ei is very busy working on the Rochester Falcon Family Tree and she has offered to also help.  Thanks Ei!

...and an I can haz cheezburger perfect for today

Ei

Does look like a saw whet-thanks! 

I had a GHO fly in front of my car on the way to work at 0:dark:30 once...scared the bejeebers out of me!  HUGE!

[Since we're baring our souls lately, here's my problem. I would dearly love to purchase many of the items from the rfalconcam stores because they're beautiful and raise money for the falcons. But I absolutely CANNOT afford them because I am a retired senior citizen on a limited fixed income. Is it at all possible to come up with cute but less expensive merchandise? I'm thinking of small things such as decals, bumper stickers, magnets, and memo pads. What I'd really love is to be able to buy embroidery patches or transfers to sew or iron on my homemade tote bags, a favorite tee, or a quilt square. As an example, I can only imagine how beautiful logo submission #73-74 would look as a full-size color transfer on a shirt or bag. Also, I collect free graphics to use in my personal emails and would be happy to purchase the right to be able to use the winning logo when I email a friend.I do realize that such items would not bring in tons of money. Still, I doubt that I'm the only one in this group who cannot afford the current merchandise, so perhaps quantity of sales might make up for the affordable price. Just something for the merchandising committee to think about ... Penny Pinching Dot in PA]

You are not alone in penny pinching, Dot.  While I can afford some...and I save up for others...I've had to pass up a lot of items too.  Some items that I could craft myself would be wonderful!  As I read your note I started thinking about embroidering some of the pictures...that would be fun!

I like it!  Ei

I like the concept of the eye in the background on the header band on #109-but it's not a peregrine eye.  Looks more like an owl to me...
