The artists that contributed their work to this effort did an awesome job.  Every one of them.  It was really hard to decide on just two.  Thanks to all of you!  

Also, thanks to the forum members that put their two cents in.  Your input really helped us make a decision.   

I was able to right click on the lock and open it to a larger version.

Oh, wow!  I just caught one on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh!  WooHoo!   

I was actually there back in the late 70's.

Didn't have much time to hunt the Haggis last year, but I did catch one of the little guys.   

But it says you never leave the house under your name Donna!  Hahahaha!   Just kidding!

and while we're up there, we can shovel out the nest box.  

It's perfect weather for reinstalling Camera 1.

Yeah baby, go for it! Trust me, If I lived there, I'd go up. So nice that snow! We'll just watch you from cam 4.  

So nice to be visited by this beauty on Thanksgiving!  Nice pics Ginha!

Can you imagine being at Times Square (NYC, not Rochester, NY  ) on New Year's Eve?  No Way!

Anne - You should definitely post more pics of the baby Pigeons aka Rock Doves.  

Too tired to find what I was looking for and have to leave for work...  Maybe I can get some together by the time we get up to
R is for Rock Dove!!  If you're sure...  At lot of people find pigeons either offensive or boring...

Anne yawning in Toronto!

I like Pigeons.  Of course, I like ALL birds.  If I can find it, I'll post the picture of the Pigeon I took a few years ago that Dale liked so much.  

Anne - You should definitely post more pics of the baby Pigeons aka Rock Doves.   

And P, of course, is for Peregrine Falcon (waiting for Donna and some more Kaver photos).

This is Rhea Mae from the 2006 Falcon Watchers Weekend.

WooHoo Peregrine Falcons!  Love that picture of the beautiful Rhea Mae Patti!  Thanks for sharing!

That is a really interesting angle on downtown Rochester.  and yes that is the Susan B Anthony/Frederick Douglas bridge.  Good job Ei!   

Anne - They're reporting this morning that the whole mess was cleaned up, although I find that hard to believe.  There has to be some kernals of corn left for our avian friends.  

Thanks Anne!  I'm sure there will be lots of stuff to do to put this together.  Keep your pics handly, because we may definitely need them.

I would like to help, too, Carol.  I've already explained my limitations to you in a personal email, but am willing to do anything that you think I can...  I have photos from the beginning of the peregrine season 2004 to 2009 and they are fairly accessible, although I'm sure everyone has these, too.  I can use a word processor etc., but don't ask me to compose anything -- I don't know how to write anything briefly...  I'm sure you've all noticed!
Anyway, thank you for heading this up and for starting to get this organized!  I know you are a busy woman in your own right!!

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?

Thanks for starting the search Karen.  We will definitely need to look through everything everyone has.  I'm so glad that you saved some of the older stuff.   

Carol P.

I can just see the Crows and other birds checking out this mess of corn.  Hopefully no birds will be harmed by being too close to the road.  This is very close to A&B's territory.

If you click on the picture and enlarge it, you can see the Times Square Bldg, old Changing Scene's Restaurant, the Powers Bldg, the Kodak Tower, etc.
