Has anyone thought to contact June @ GVAS I know for a fact that there was a contribution made in 2011 for the Watchers Weekend. Since that didn't happen last year, the funds should still be available.

Hopefully one of the Rochester crew will see this when they get home from watching & get in touch with her...thanks!

Hon's ex still won't reschedule her birthday party!

 So is everyone getting together at the park friday eve too?   Like what time?   I see Shaky and Carrie won't be there sat.  ): 

I think Carl may come too, and maybe Michelle and Enrique who got rescue and release experience this year at Central Terminal.  Will check on that.

I'm local to Rochester, but I'm entertaining out of state company (my sister) starting Friday night, so I'll have to flit in and out of the weekend's activities. I hope to show her the nestbox and stop by the brunch and meet everyone, though.

So how many are coming?? Any ideas? Usually we know, have a plan going! We having a breakfast??  ???

Is there a place to RSVP?  I will be there Friday evening through late Sunday morning. Can't wait to see everyone (and every falcon) in person!!

Usually have a running list of who's coming. What can I bring?? Who's the head honcho?  

I've been wondering the same thing.  One week away and no plans?  Is anyone head of this? Breakfast in Aquaduct Park on Saturday?  Bring something?  List of people coming?  Out of towners (and I'm sure locals too) would probably like to know. Carol? Shaky? Any answer would be appreciated.

Not me. I'm out of the loop on this. I won't even be in town Saturday

Locals are too busy watching. I suggest that someone else step up and take charge. Only a day or 2 left to design a t-shirt and upload it to CafePress so people can buy it and express ship it to themselves before they head to Rochester.

Too bad you or anyone in the know didn't say anything before about this.

Too bad you didn't ask sooner. I would have given you the same answer, and you would have had time to step up and make those shirts so everyone wouldn't have to pay express shipping.

What happened to the design team that did the t-shirts in the past?

So sorry I won't be out there this year.  I miss my regular visits from back in the M&K days.  However, I have a fragile 14-year old dog who is keeping me close to home these days.  I am hoping that there will be more regular offspring in the coming years and that I will be able to resume my visits.  Meanwhile, I  still have the KAVER license on my car and have been sharing photos of Orion on my FB page with a whole new audience who will soon be experiencing "empty nest syndrome."  Hope you have a great weekend.  I'll look forward to reading about it.

Falcon Watchers Weekend - August 3rd, 4th & 5th.

Let's have fun this coming weekend!  This is all very casual.  Always has been.  That's what makes it so much fun.  The only planned event is the Saturday morning gathering for breakfast.  The rest of the time is spent falcon watching and enjoying each others company for a few days.  In past years, some folks planned day trips on their own.  I know one year some of the visitors went to Niagara Falls for one of the days.

In 2010, Lou was nice enough to design a Watchers Weekend T-Shirt.  That was the only year we had one as far as I know.  This year one was not done.

This year has been a very difficult one for all of us.  Due to the late hatch and all that went on this year, things have been very unsettled for the Rochester Watchers and time got away from us.

Right now our top priority is Orion.  We are in the middle of a Fledge Watch which is taking up much of our time.  Many of us are spending long hours downtown.

 

Someone mentioned that a donation was made to go towards the Falcon Watch Weekend.  We are looking into this.

Let's all plan on meeting at Aqueduct Park at 9:00 am on Saturday morning, August 4th.  Everyone bring your own drink and something to pass around.  At last year's Watcher Weekend Brian H had us all doing the bird!   

I can't wait to see all of you that are able to come visit Rochester this year.  See you next weekend!

p.s.  If anyone would like to keep track of who is going to come and post a list here, that would be great.
