Please join us Saturday night 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. Of course, we understand that those who recently lost power as a result of the wind storm may not want to participate.

For more information, visit https://www.earthhour.org.

* The cameras will remain on at the Times Square Building if Beauty is about to lay an egg.

Join us December 31st at 10 PM ET on streaming video Channels 1 and 2 to watch the fireworks over downtown Rochester from a bird’s eye view!

We’ll be meeting again later at the Forum Chat & Ustream Social Stream to ring in the New Year together!

And let’s not forget the Watcher’s Toast New Year’s Day at 11 AM, which will be covered live on Rfalconcam streaming video Channel 3!

Look forward to seeing everyone there!

There were many falcon fans gathered to watch our live streaming video this evening. What was all the eggcitement about? Beauty, our downtown Rochester Peregrine Falcon was in the process of laying her first egg. It was like a virtual waiting room.

At 9:54 pm, Beauty laid her egg in the nest box on top of the Times Square Bldg in Rochester, NY. The falcons had been visiting this nest box and the nest box at the Powers Building. So until tonight, we were unsure which nest box they would choose.

Here are the first images of the egg captured by our Rfalconcam cameras.

It’s that time of year again! We here at Rfalconcam are thrilled to report that Beauty and Dot.ca have been very active at the Times Square nest box. We wanted to share some pictures that our cameras have captured of the downtown Rochester pair prepping the nest box for 2016. Please be sure to check out the current pictures and live streaming video for a glimpse of Beauty and Dot.ca!

At 11:00 am on January 1, 2016, many of our Rochester Falcon Watchers gathered on Broad St across the street from the Times Square Bldg. It was time for the 2016 Rfalconcam Toast.

The first arrivals were Beauty and Dot.ca. They were on the south side, top IBeam of the First Federal Plaza (OCSR). It was snowing and 29 degrees (F).

Seems our pair are considering all their options. Will they choose the nest box on the Times Square Bldg or the Powers Bldg. They have been seen at both locations checking things out. We are prepared for either choice. Stay tuned and keep watching!
