Sun is shining here also makes a big difference. Greetings

Well heck, I don't know where to start! What a great 8 days spent in Rochester. First, I want to thank MAK for her hospitality by letting me stay with her. Chris and Kara thank you also. What a great time we had watching all the fast N furious falcons flying the skies of Rochester. It may have taken Voyager a while to get her game on but once she did....wow, waiting was so worth it! She is magnificent!! Getting up at 4-4:30 kicked my butt but boy you have to get out early to see the show! Thanks for cracking that whip MAK!! 12 to 14 hour days of sitting, waiting for a falcon was worth the wait. We all got more exercise moving our chairs to follow the shade! Pretty soon there was no shade left, no where to go and the sun was brutal the first 3 days. A pool in the hole would have been nice.    It was great to see the locals again and finally, after 4 trips to Rochester, I met Shaky and Carrie, (what a funny guy!) I didn't take many pics, I was too fixed on the falcons and let the others with the BIG lenses, do all the work. It just makes sense. Saturday was fun and the only day I didn't use sunblock, paying for it now, I'm hurting!! Soon, the burn will go away and I will have the scars and memories of what a great time I had. Met a few from the chat too, Glo, amytraveler, Viper 1234 and his family, Joe is a cute kid and he loves the falcons! I assume one day we will see him out there with a scope, BIG lens, doing what a falcon watcher does!! I'll wait for that day. Thank you Rochester for a great week and I will be back! (scary thought huh?)  Had quite a few out-of-towners also! Glad you all could make it and nice seeing you again!

Rosetta and her "jungle Jim", she played on that bar!
Baron landed between the wings, he's a funny falcon!
Gee, guess who this is? 
 
Can't forget Pigott! Yup, she was home.

It was a great day-good to see everybody again and to meet new people!  Even though we left early because of the heat, we got to see some great flying by our Falcon family and I'm thrilled the "kids" are doing so well.  Thanks to all who posted pics and, Donna, Bill says thanks for posting 3 butt shots of him!
