Well, I was able to clear my calendar for 10:00 Thursday -- I didn't see how I could meet with a client with all that commotion outside my window -- so that means it's time to sell TICKETS! Front row! Grab 'em while you can!

Not really. I'm not selling tickets, but if you ask really nice, and maybe bring me a cookie, I'll have some folks up to my office during the banding. Should be quite the show.

That is very nice, Mark.    Actually, that is REALLY Nice, so let's hear it for Mark!

you up on your offer.
What's your favorite kind of cookie?

I have been remiss in my duties as the Watcher Watcher. Predictably, things have been hopping down here. There's been a contingent of watchers at the top of the stairs on the northwest corner of the Broad Street bridge for some days now, including folding chairs and dogs. Every once in a while they send off a contingent to watch elsewhere, including one sortie to my office to peer at the top of the Hall of Justice yesterday.

Hi Mark, Were you with us over the weekend?  If not, Saturday we were a colorful and wet bunch!  Come down this coming weekend...there should be lots of watchers there

There is a second type of watcher - the remote watcher.  The remote watcher sends text messages to other remote watchers on the road in different states.  The remote watcher is a new species this year - a direct result of technology.  The remote watcher reports events far and wide to those of us who can watch locally or directly.  Team tag is also part of the remote watcher's skill sets.   Thanks MAK for keeping me in the loop today and Thanks Donna for your efforts all this week.

It's my privilege to keep my friends in the loop. We really should thank our Rochester falcon family for the privilege of watching them.  For many good friends we have made and will make I salute this forum and everyone and everything connected with it. Thanks from my    MAK

It has been quite a season...so far...it's far from over!  Still lots of new friends to meet in a few weeks!

Thanks for your hospitality Mark!

After a brief but noisy visit to my building today, Archer (I think, I took my binocs home) has been sitting on Mercury's heel/calf for much of the day.

It's obvious the nest box has been falcon-free, as there are more birds outside my window. I was thinking about putting out a little feeder to attract the smaller birds -- you know, the whole "circle of life" thing.

I haven't seen too many watchers around lately, though there was a pair with chairs on the bridge early Saturday morning when I headed in to the office. You guys still out there?

[Joyce]

Hi Mark! 

We are all over the place on the weekends, but you will still see a couple watchers on the Broad St. bridge in the morning, and early evening.  Several watchers close the day at the frontier parking lot, where we can keep an eye on Beauty and Archer who perch on Xerox and HSBC...hoping Callidora meets up with Jemison and flies in to say hello before they take off for parts unknown.

I'm not sure how to insert a link, soI hope this works: Click me. Not sure whether this has been here before, but well worth watching.
