Bummer! Can't make that weekend!!!!! We were hoping for July again. This will be this 1st time we've missed since the 1st one!!! Lynne & Bob
I'm so sorry Lynne and Bob. The Jehovah Witnesses will be in Rochester the following two weekends. It was so much easier to plan when we were on the pedestrian bridge.  I understand why! We look forward to the trip each year-and yes much better when they were in the gorge!!! I feel really bad. I'll miss seeing you guys this year. No one else has responded, so maybe it's not a good time for anyone? I have to check a few things at work once our annual inspection is over. I should know better by Friday.

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!

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. How funny...I just wrote it the way I hear it when someone says it. I guess I hear the "r" even if it's not really there. But I did get the accent right and that's the important part
