Nice weekend! I think we had almost 15 out of towners and there were some new local faces in the crowd. I tried getting pictures of those who weren’t already in the
Falcon Watcher’s album
. Hopefully, I got everyone’s name correct. If not, let me know.
I wanted to send a big ‘thanks’ out to my fellow Rochester peeps and to others who brought food to the Tailgater Breakfast – we had enough food for both days. I sampled everything! (BTW, I give the homemade pastry blue ribbon to MAK for her Pumpkin Roll.)
I think Aqueduct Park worked out great. I knew it was going to be good as soon as the Rochester Falcons themselves gave us a Saturday morning welcome fly-by directly over the river in front of us at exactly 9:00 am. The old pedestrian bridge was nice, but it was as if the new family was formally welcoming us to a new era. And it was nice to be close to the hotels, the restaurants, restrooms, etc. The lunch walk to the Dinosaur Bar B Q worked out well - some people were able to get a table and eat inside (with the air conditioning) and the rest of us just brought our bagged take-out meals back to the park to eat in the shade. The Planetarium trip was somewhat thwarted by the fifteen thousand people blocking the streets near the Planetarium but most people managed to get through the crowds to see the Falcons of Toronto movie. Oh well, we’ll do better planning next year!
Saturday night was just plain beautiful though; we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect summer evening. And although I couldn’t avoid getting roped into Brian’s Falcon Dance, Sunday was just as nice!
At any rate, It’s a different venue with a different family of birds, but Watcher’s Weekend has always been one of my favorite parts of the season here in Rochester and this year was no exception.
Glad everybody made it home safe and sound. Hope to see even more visitors next year!

I guess I am the last out-of-towner to make it home. After an easy drive, the predicted thunderstorms that never showed up in Rochester hit here in Vermont. It was a small cell, though, and the sun is out again. I haven't had time to read through all the posts as yet, so this may have been reported, but I need to add that the "stragglers" spent Sunday afternoon and evening on a nostalgic trip to the pedestrian bridge. We were treated to a visit from a mysterious falcon who flew in from the north. This was followed by Beauty and Archer flying down to check things out. No aggression but definite watchfulness. Since the bridge seemed to be a sort of boundary line, we were positioned for a good show.
The welcoming local watchers, the other out-of-towners, the weather, the new location, and the awesome flying all contributed to a memorable weekend.

I spent all day editing pictures and preparing a video. I doubt many of you will be able to get the full effect since I don't have the rights to the music. But I can put it up on YouTube briefly and then take it off before I am arrested.
Anyway, you will let me know if you can't get this:

I'll put the pictures up on the Kodak site shortly.

Wonderful slide show of the falcons you saw this weekend - they simply are so gorgeous - will be happy to see Jemison back flying with them - have they decided if she is female or male?
I appreciate everyone's taking pictures of them, some great photographers among you all -
