No, the one I posted was to "Yakety Sax."

OOPS!  Need to get my memory checked...

Perfectly Fun Video on You Tube!   The music was  a perfect touch. So funny to watch.
Some things don't change....even across species!       

Did I miss something....music? Are we looking at the same video Margaret? 

I ain't got no music either... hope it was "Turkey in the Straw", tho...

Hmmm...pretty sure Shaky's Sun-Moon daily was to "Turkey in the Straw"...

...with the exception of a new montage of pictures taken by our dedicated, out-on-the-street, falcon watcher, Margaret!

Just as an aside...I love the montage...perhaps it could be made into a T-shirt design?  And the 2011 montage, for that matter.  One of my regular go-to shirts is the watcher weekend montage you put together, Lou.  Or maybe we could do prints? A confession-I don't really use my home calendar for the dates-I flip around to whichever picture strikes me.  I keep coming back to the montage.  Just a thought.

Okay, Eileen. Easy enough. Here are some new products using your suggestion. 

Female T Shirt

Male T Shirt

Also, I added one more based on an email request..

Thanks for the suggestion.

Very nice!  The anonymous design is great too!

Daily movie from yesterday shows the setting Sun reflecting off another building onto the nest box followed by the rising Moon shining on it.

That was cool!    

I found this at Cornell's All About Birds

What is Merlin?

When people notice a new bird, the first question they often ask is, "What bird did I see?" We're building Merlin to help people find the answer.

Merlin will be a new kind of bird identification tool—one that combines artificial intelligence with input from real-life bird watchers to produce an online "wizard" that helps people ID birds quickly and connects them to more information.

To build Merlin, we need to know how thousands of people remember and describe birds. You can help us by playing games that gather the information to help Merlin understand what bird watchers see. The more you play, the more you'll help Merlin become a true bird ID wizard.

Merry Christmas from Bailey the Unknown Reindeer

The 2012 Rochester Falcons in Toronto calendar is now for sale.

We have had the unique and wonderful experience of following our eyases: Rhea Mae (2006), Linn (2007), and Quest (2008), mature into adulthood and raise fledglings of their own. This calendar features pictures of them as eyases and fledglings in Rochester and as adults, along with their families, in Canada. Many thanks to our friends at the Canadian Peregrine Foundation for helping us share this experience.

The Merchandising team hopes you enjoy this calendar as much as we do, and we believe there is still plenty of time to order these as gifts to support rfalconcam.

Thanks,
Dana

    

How'd they get a picture of my baby?

Just saw Quest land on one of the upper ledges with a fresh kill. She took off again, but thought you guys would like to know. We're having some snow flurries today, so am assuming Q&K will be using the box a bit more.

Not sure why they haven't moved the camera. I wonder if our operator has gone on vacation. Hmm.

Just as I'm writing this, Quest is circling around her building. Now just landed on the opposite building, top ledge. Oh...she's definitely got breakfast!

All sightings, no matter how brief, are very much welcome kat!

Q&K won't likely use the box for shelter.  Most peregrines will find a roost reasonably sheltered from the wind, but they usually only use the box for bonding & eggs.

Haha..I swear this pair reads our CPF blogs.   The sun is coming up and shining brightly and sure enough both Angel and Jack just showed up on the nest ledge!

 

Kaver always did-no reason Angel & Jack should be any different! 

OK, one quick DJ Dale rap before I turn into a pumpkin...

Kaver’s Lament: That Eyas Did Me In/Two Juvies on the Nineteenth Floor

So I'm hangin' on the dolphins
And I'm chillin' on the wave
Pooped from flying with a youngun
Wiped from stooping with a babe
So I turn to old Mariah, she has pigeon on her chin
And I kak so low and tender:
"Girl, that eyas did me in."

"Are you RAVING, Kaver baby?
Not a eyas, he's a juve!"

"That's semantics, sweet Mariah,
but the truth is, I can't move--

He's a wired and hungry juvie
And you seem to think it's groovy
That he's bent on talon-tagging
But my energy is flagging

and there's TWO JUVIES ON THE NINETEENTH FLOOR
and they're flirting with some guy
in the window . . .and there's Skye,
flying up and down the smokestack
like it's going out of mode.
I just can't do no more hunting,
not a bird and not a toad
and not a rat and not a bat
and not a watcher or a cat!
I am sick of hauling dead stuff to the top of this here peak
I am ragged and exhausted,
I am tired from tail to beak."

TWO JUVIES ON THE NINETEENTH FLOOR
Kakking treble on the left
Kakking bass on the right
Without mercy, nest to gorge,
and it's going to last ALL NIGHT

I can send a complete copy of my falcon raps from those couple of years when I was writing them. There are a bunch of them and some of them go into quite a bit of detail about some recent M-K-offspring event. I need to compile it into one file, with dates. Where do I send it when it's done? dale

You can send it to me at dumpsterkitty11@gmail.com ...thanks!

As of 9:00 a.m. we have raised just under $100.  How much can we raise by noon?  Check back for hourly updates.
