A new eyas ramp was installed at the Times Square Building nest box this morning, replacing the old one that was badly deteriorated after enduring 13 years of exposure to the elements. This new ramp (as well as the old one) was constructed and donated by falcon watchers Lynda and Tim of Romulus, NY.
The ramp is a safety measure that allows an eyas to climb back up to the nest box after falling into the well.
It’s that time of year again! Time for the new 2022 Rochester Falcons Calendar and 2020/2021 Ornaments. Just in time for the Christmas season!
The 2022 calendar includes pictures of this year’s falcon family (Beauty, Dot.ca, Golden & Freyja) captured by our Rfalconcam cameras. Many thanks to Falcon Fans Annette Bachstein, Kristine Genagon, Eileen Karle and Linda King, who shared their favorite pictures with us. Also, thanks to Rfalconcam Merchandise members Dana Mulhern & Carol Phillips.

We’ve also added some new ornaments for this year’s and last year’s kids! What tree would be complete without Roc, Geraki, Hope, Golden and Freyja gracing it boughs? Enjoy!
Thanks once again to the generosity of our dedicated falcon supporters, we raised over $2,300 yesterday, including a $500 bonus for the outstanding teamwork demonstrated by those who stayed up late to make their pledges at just the right time. Well done, folks!
ROC the Day officials will send us a financial statement and donor list sometime in the next few weeks, at which point we will know who to thank individually. Until then, thank you to everyone who donated. Your contributions will be used to fund Rfalconcam operations and improvements throughout 2022.
