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!

2021 Rfalconcam Golden Ornament

2021 Rfalconcam Freyja Ornament

Losing Freyja this year was very sad for all of us, but knowing that Golden is out there made this year a success.

We here at Rfalconcam thank you for all of your support over the years!

Hoping that everyone has a safe and happy Holiday Season!

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.

It is with much sadness, that we must report that Freyja was found deceased on a building roof very close to the Times Square Bldg.

The Rochester Falcon Watchers had been tirelessly looking for her since they last saw her on Wednesday, June 23rd. They never gave up hope that she would return to her family and continue to grace the Rochester skies.

Fly free Freyja! We will miss you.

Great news, everyone! The eyases will receive bands this year!

Our friends from the DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) will be coming to Rochester this morning to band Beauty and Dot.ca’s two eyases. Banding should happen at approximately 10 am. When they are banded, they will be given their chosen names!

You can watch the event on live streaming video, read commentary and view photos on our forum, or follow us on twitter @Rfalconcam and its chattier cousin @RfalconcamNow.

Lots of falcon fans were on Rfalconcam’s streaming video when our 2nd eyas arrived! Dot.ca had just arrived with food and he and Beauty were both there to see their 2nd eyas break out of its egg. So awesome!

We’ll be posting pics of the Rochester Falcons and their eyases here in a weekly photo album. This will be a great way to see their progress and how quickly they grow! Enjoy!!!

Our first eyas arrived at approximately 9:19 pm this evening (5/10/21). Beauty has been very protective of her new arrival and has yet to allow our cameras to catch a picture of the little one. We’ll share pictures when they are available.

Here’s a picture from earlier showing a pip (small hole) in the egg. You can see the eyases beak!
