Ciao,
aspettavo l'avvio della cam di Buffalo, e nel frattempo mi ero reiscritta al forum.
Mi par di capire (sempre dal traduttore di google, visto il mio inglese assai scarso ) che non abbiano più gli sponsor per sostenere la webcam, ma che aggiorneranno le notizie tramite il forum. :roll:
Vi riporto il testo integrale... postato da Kimmarie

Update: March 23, 2007
Due to circumstances beyond our control, as of January 2007 the Buffalo Peregrine Project will no longer be sponsoring, maintaining or hosting the Buffalo Falcon Cam on our server. We will continue to maintain our forum and post updates regarding the nest as we receive them.

Visit the forum for the latest news! We have members posting about the Buffalo Peregrines as well as other Falcon/Raptor/Owl nest sites throughout the country and the world!

WE WANT TO THANK ALL of those who have supported us and the forum in the past years - we couldn't have done it without you! Our mission was and continues to be focused on the sharing of wildlife observations and helping educate the public about wildlife in urban, suburban and rural areas.

NEWS From Buffalo's Peregrine Nest Site at the Statler - Wed. 3/21/07: A forum member reports "Two falcons having breakfast on the corner ledge. One bird is larger than the other. Male & female no doubt. Activity is picking up"

[Giovanna]

Peccato! Questa non ci voleva...
Mantieni lo stesso i contatti con Kimmarie, se puoi, Sonia. Ho avuto modo di scambiare qualche parola con lei sul forum di Cleveland dopo la morte di Beauty e l'ho trovata molto cara e di grande sensibilità.
Se ho notizie di altre possibili fonti che permettano di tenere su un thread, le posto qui. Certo che senza web cam non è per niente la stessa cosa...

[Sonia]

ok Giò.
In effetti kimmarie è davvero carinissima.
Anche lei ha chiesto a tutti quelli del forum di non "mollare"...

e io pensavo di continuare a postare i vari aggiornamenti, sia italiani che non.
Peccato però, che i soldi influiscano sempre su tutto!
ciao ciao

Vai con Buffalo, Sonia :!: :D
Non deludiamo Kimmarie, non se lo merita proprio.
I soldi c'entrano sempre, ahimè, dev'essere la civiltà (almeno la nostra)...

NEWS From Buffalo's Peregrine Nest Site at the Statler - Wed. 3/28/07: Two individuals who work in the area stopped to check the lobby monitor and have reported via email that there is an egg in the nest. I received this email today: "Hi Kimmarie, I would say Monday 2007 March 26 evening or Tuesday 2007 March 27 morning. When I went out the one lone egg was unattended, neither parent was in the nest."

Evviva :!: Bella notizia, sonia :!: :D
Certo che rimetteremo buffalo tra le cam, sono sicura che niseema sarà d'accordo :!:

Hi Folks!

I took a detour through downtown Buffalo on my way home to Rochester from work in Orchard Park. Arrived at the Statler about 7 PM and stood outside for about 15 minutes waiting for a falcon sighting, but no luck. I went inside the lobby to view the nestcam. A falcon (probably the female) was in the nest sitting. After 25 minutes, she got up and I saw one reddish egg. She flew out to the perch and returned a ½ minute later. About ten minutes later the male flew in to greet his mate. He sat on the perch outside the nest, came in for a second and then flew off. I went outside to see if I could find him, but it was too dark. Headed home at 8 PM.

For those of you going through withdrawal from not seeing the Buffalo Falcons webcam, I thought I would share photos of my watch. The first two pics are views of the nest box. Unfortunately, the falcons were not very accommodating. The remaining 12 nestbox photos were taken from the TV monitor inside the lobby. (It's a better color picture than the TV monitor facing the street.) The last shot is a wing flap away to the nearby building.

3 UOVA A BUFFALO!!!

"Statler Falcon Watch Report (Mon. 4/2/07, 1:15-1:45 PM)

I decided to take a late lunch and go to the Statler between 1 and 2 PM (26 miles round trip). I found a close parking place, put in 2 quarters, and hoped to see some action. No sightings on the outside so I took my place in front of the TV monitor. The first 15 minutes Lady Falcon sat on the eggs. Then she moved and I got to see all three eggs (Pic1 below). She changed position and covered the eggs.

Lady Falcon was very alert, turning her head back and forth. I debated going outside to see if I might catch a glimpse of a falcon nearby. About 2 minutes before I had to leave, Sir Falcon came to the nest bearing a gift. (Pic2 below) He had a sizeable prey. She took her food and flew off. He remained on the ledge for a few moments, and then flew off.

The TV monitor has high color saturation. The eggs appear redder than they actually are, so I adjusted the photos. The legs and feet on the male were pretty orange. I lowered my camera and tried to see if there were any bands, but nothing stood out. I can't confirm if there are any bands or not, but I didn't see any bright color that stood out.

Then I went outside and found Lady Falcon on the corner of the building. Feathers were flying. I took some pictures, but it was cloudy, gray, and awfully cold. I should have worn gloves and ear muffs. I also discovered that I took a picture of the wrong nest box the last time, so I'll correct last week's album with the correct one. Are there two shelves?

Oh, on the way back to my car I caught a photo of half a prey on the sidewalk that probably got dropped earlier. No wonder Lady Falcon was hungry.

I'm at work and can't post my photos yet, but I'll send a link later. Here's two cam shots I’m sure you'll enjoy.
