    Good going Donna!     You're right on the ball as usual.      Glad they came for a visit so everyone could see them.

[MAK]

 Yes we're having a bad t-storm with 10 minutes worth of hail at my house.   

[jeanne]

I have the radio on and downtown just had two really loud claps of lightning.  Lots of rain.

Hey Jeanne, we just had some 1/4" hail here in Ithaca...the ground looked like a light snowfall!  Hope it is not too bad in Rochester!

I want some of that snowfall please!  Too hot out. Bring on the Winter. 

[jeanne]

Yikes, Suzanne!!  There was hail in some areas and a lightning strike downtown (according to the radio host  who saw the strike).  It went down about 20 degrees!

Hope our baby bird is ok.  

Donna, hope it cools off.  The weather here was really smarmy before this storm

Humbug!

What happened to the falcon watch schedule? I was checking the calendar and no one's on the schedule since July 3rd.  ???

[jeanne]

Never fear! Actually, folks are out a lot, watching even without the official calendar!  Dan S has never signed up for a watch but he and MAK are out from about 5-5:30 AM and Carol is out after work until about 7.  Brian is out during the day and then the rest of the gang is out during various times!  We also have the "support personnel"-- people who work around the area and let the other watchers know if something is going on.  We're really lucky to have such a group!

Okey dokey then...thanks jeanne. Yes, lots are out at all different times for sure and MAK, (what a swell watcher she turned out to be), hasn't missed a morning since the Watcher's meeting. Sometimes she wakes me up with her text messages, (my new alarm clock). How long has Dan been doing this, (since Cabot and Mariah days), he's another up real early. Guess that's when all the action starts. That would be me right out there with them. If we had 3 or more hatches this year, things would be hopping for sure. You would need a person on every building in Rochester. That's a big city to be running around in. Thanks all you watchers, we haven't lost a falcon yet, well, except for the jail bird.
