We are very honored and pleased to announce that this year, we are one of the hosts on the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Nest Cam Web Site!  http://watch.birds.cornell.edu/nestcams/camera/view?cameraID=C100032

It is important to us to be able to share this nestcam with people outside our website and forum and we hope that we can help with Cornell’s goal of educating people on the nesting cycles of a broad range of birds. 

THANKS TO CORNELL for their support and hard work, to our forum member “glenham” for all his hard work (above and beyond the “call of duty”), and most of all to our forum members who followed the Chimney Swifts last year – from rescue from the storm to successful fledge - ALL OF YOU inspired us to work on this unique project for this season! 

And a final personal note, from my heart   A special thank you to marwee!  She is the one who pointed out last year that we ARE FALCONS and FRIENDS and that we did have a mission (even though we may not have seen it right away)!  You have been/are an inspiration to us and we are lucky to have your strong support and encouragement.  I think I can speak for both glenham and myself when I say –  marwee, this cam is in honor of and dedicated to you and to ALL our forum members   This is such a great group of people!  It’s an honor to have you as friends and to be able to share with you all!

I’ve had an email from a long time falcon watcher/friend and two forum members also report that they saw a fourth egg shortly after 4:30pm today. 

Unfortunately the cam has been frozen or unavailable since late this afternoon so no one has been able to get a better look, BUT the reports are from long time falcon fans and looking at the current frozen image from 4:44pm I have to agree, it does look like a fourth egg is in the back of the main three. 

**Unfortunately because Buffalo Audubon Society has claimed copyright on all of their web cam/nest  images we are unable to post or share a copy of the image in question, but if you go here (http://www.buffaloaudubon.com/falconcam2.htm) you might still see it – it’s been frozen for hours now**

Will Lady falcon lay egg number five again this year (last year there were five, but one egg did not hatch)?  We’ll have to wait and see!
