Have a fun and safe trip MAK!  Had fun this morning on our "crack of dawn" Beauty watch.  

So, how is everyone doing?  Just very light snow in Rochester.

Thanks!  That was a picture of Beauty on a chimney on the building in front of the Widows Walk.  It was just before Jemison and Callidora fledged.  She flew down to the Chimney and retrieved a cache, which she brought up to J&C at the nest box.  It was the first time I saw either Beauty or Archer go down to this building.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas!

Notte Sento. Amazingly, this short and beautiful video was made with a series of still photographs, over 4500 of them!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

My gift is this video of Jemison and Beauty.  It starts out with Jemison running across the "well wall" and knocking Beauty off.  Beauty then flies back and forth, coaxing her young son to fly.  He of course isn't quite ready and let's her know.  and if you look really closely, you can see Callidora standing next to main camera, watching.

I'll start with a quote from Johnny Carson......

"The worst gift is a fruitcake. There is only one fruitcake in the entire world, and people keep sending it to each other." ~ Johnny Carson   

Maybe this will work !

Hey Braveheart.  Be sure to go out and check the main page.   

Thought for Today

Strangers can walk into your life and become good friends.  I am very thankful to you all.   

[Does anyone want to volunteer to do this?]

No one is saying MAK's morning reports aren't greatly appreciated.  I thank her all the time, since I'm unable to get out much, except for the weekends during the Winter months.  

I think Shaky has a great idea about summarizing the tweets onto a daily Falcon Watch report.  Does anyone want to volunteer to do this?

We are, in fact, citizen scientists. Every one of us.  I've always said that the Rochester Watchers know more about Peregrine behavior in a city than the "experts".

If we all get in the habit of leaving Watch Reports in the appropriate area, outside the Forum, it will become easier each time we do them.  I know I'm also guilty about not posting my reports there as often as I should.  Remember, these posts will flow to all the RFalconcam community, including the forum.

The RFalconcam site has great potential to be the best Peregrine depository of information anywhere.  Let's make this the come-to website for "experts" and "non-experts" to learn all about city Peregrine Falcons.  We have a vast amount of knowledge to share with everyone.
