Weather permitting, this Thursday, October 8th, Camera 1 will be replaced with a new HD camera. Additionally, the other four cameras will be cleaned and adjusted, and the site will be inspected for damage.

The cameras at the Times Square building will be turned off during this procedure, which is expected to start at 8 am and be completed by 5 pm.

Our web hosting provider will be moving the server that runs our website to a new location Monday morning. Rfalconcam.com will be unavailable during the move. The interruption in service will start at approximately 4 AM EDT and last for 2 to 4 hours. Please note that streaming video channels will still be viewable on YouTube by entering “Rfalconcam Live” in the search box on the YouTube.com home page.

While things have slowed down a bit at the nest box, now might be a good time to do some website maintenance. Over the next few days, the server that runs the site will be upgraded. This will not affect the appearance of the site, but it may cause some interruptions in service. If this happens, try reloading the page you were viewing. You may also need to clear your browser cache or restart your browser. You can also watch our streaming video channels directly on YouTube by entering “Rfalconcam Live” in the search box on the YouTube.com home page.

Please join us tonight in the observance of Earth Hour.

Rfalconcam will turn off the cameras at the nest boxes located on the Times Square and Powers buildings for one hour starting at 8:30 PM EDT. During that time, we ask that you turn off your lights, computers, and non-essential electrical appliances.
