Falcon Cam 2012

[Rick]

Lo without trying to sound crass, fergit all that editing carp, we can read threw it.

Back to programming...

[loCAtek]

Um, no. I would like to edit, like I have always been editing. I have said, I would resign to the poll; but doesn't mean I have to like it.

[Rick]

Yeah I can see how that's working fer ya.

[BoSoxGal]

If you are really a serious aspiring writer, get a Strunk & White and review proper comma and semicolon usage (among other things, like the difference between there and their).

Draft your posts offline and revise before posting them

Enlist an editor. With all the readers you have, I'm sure you can find a second set of eyes willing to read/proof advance copy.

Now, because I'm beginning to find you highly annoying again, you go back on ignore.

Ta!

Or just cut'n'paste what they have posted on their website, they rarely make spelling errors.

April 17: The chicks have achieved a second coat of down which protects them from the cold while both parents are hunting birds to satisfy their voracious appetites. Please do not be alarmed when the youngsters are not brooded for what seem to be long periods of time. They can take it—Peregrine Falcons live and raise young in the Arctic. One other cautionary note: It is typical for one or two young to receive more food than one or two of the others at any given feeding. Knowing that, when we see one youngster who does not seem to be eating much, it is probably because he or she ate heartily just a few hours ago and is not yet hungry. To our eyes, it seems like it is the “one in the back” who is not being fed. But in fact, it is the “one who ate most at the last meal” that is now in the back dozing

No, no , no!

About a week ago;



A few days ago, the eyas attempting to feed themselves, while hints of pin feathers are appearing!;



Such big, ravenous, little monsters this year! <3

[loCAtek]

This just in!

Glenn Stewart of Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group, will band the eyasses on Tuesday morning, May 1, at 7:30am PST.

Stay tuned for recorded video!

Um, no. I would like to edit, like I have always been editing. I have said, I would resign to the poll; but doesn't mean I have to like it.

Perhaps if you followed the advice in the picture you linked to, this will be easier for you?

[MajGenl.Meade]

But when spelled out rather than said straight, should it not be "AN F - U - C - K"?

How come we can't edit images?

Isn't THAT interesting. They appear to have a 7 day change limit as well.

I have a solution if this Board doesn't fill your publishing needs Lo. Get your own. Then you can change all of your content whenever you want.


But don't forget, Keep Calm and Don't Give a Fuck (or An F-U-C-K). It is best for your health.

[Gob]

Well then, you should just provide a link to their page, and then you won't have to worry about editing it will you?

PS.My advice was; "Or just cut'n'paste what they have posted on their website, they rarely make spelling errors".

There's nothing to say they correct their pages for just spelling errors. As a blog writer myself, I know there are multiple coding and other issues, like dead links, which need to be changed at times..

[Lord Jim]

You know LoCa, as I mentioned in the other thread, I'm really looking forward to when you make these arguments for unlimited editing to Gar....

It took me about two weeks to finally talk him in to raising the limit on the old CSB from the 30 minutes Gwenvita decreed it would be set at, to 10 hours....

BTW, the limit at the current incarnation of the CSB is 3600 seconds...(60 minutes)

Yes, I suspect that when you make your case on this to him the response will be most entertaining....

[loCAtek]

Gob, on the first page, I provided some links, as since this is Silicon Valley there are quite a few webpages and Facebook pages ...ETA: and YouTube vids;

Holy Shiite, Batman!

City Hall Welcomed the Start of 2012 Falcon Season
February 27, 2012

City Hall welcomed the start of 2012 falcon season when Clara laid her first egg of this year’s clutch during the evening on February 25 – the same date that last year’s first egg arrived.

Clara is celebrating her sixth nesting season at San Jose City Hall, and her fourth with mate Esteban Colbert.

Falcons typically lay their eggs in 56-hour intervals until a “clutch” of four eggs is completed, so be sure to view the FalconCam online over the next few days to watch as the next three eggs are laid. Access the FalconCam by visiting either of the following:

City of San José website at http://sanjose.granicus.com/MediaPlayer ... lish_id=91
Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group website at http://www.scpbrg.org
Falcon fans can also receive updates through the San José City Hall Peregrine Falcons Yahoo! Group or become a fan of the falcons on Facebook

...which are BLOG postings on the subject OF

pre-season | courtship & mating | eggs | nest defense | eyasses | fledging | juvenile dispersal | clara & her mate | general / misc |non breeding-season peregrine | survival | falconry

Glenn R. Stewart, Coordinator [and baby falcon bander] links to this, when a common question pops up, so he doesn't have to repeat himself too much in the forum. The information is updated weekly, or as needed. "These postings cover prior seasons as well as current season. You will find the forum moderators and Glenn himself may refer you to this page so you may read his prior response to your always valued questions." So, the posts may have been around as long as 2007, when this webpage was created. No matter how old the entry, it may be edited, then Tina puts the new link in the newsletter.

They support the U. C. Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group, http://www2.ucsc.edu/scpbrg/nestcamSJ.htm
which is who you linked to [also not a forum];

The City of San Jose and the University of California are grateful for the partnership of the San Jose Peregrine Falcon Alliance a citizen’s group committed to support of the SCPBRG educational mission centered on the recovery of the Peregrine Falcon, and especially the birds that nest at San Jose City Hall.

You may also join the San Jose Peregrines Discussion Forum for up to the minute reports from observers in San Jose.

Back to the SJ City Hall Falcons then

Newest San Jose City Hall falcon chicks are three boys and a girl
By Mark Gomez


mgomez@mercurynews.commercurynews.com

Posted: 05/01/2012 02:50:07 PM PDT


In what has become an annual spring event, Glenn Stewart, an expert from the University of California-Santa Cruz, examined the baby birds and determined the genders: three boys and a girl. Stewart placed bands on the falcons' legs and collected information about their health and nest conditions.

"At this point, you see four babies that are obviously babies," Stewart said. "In three weeks they'll be out flying around. It's an amazing process."

As is customary, Stewart was greeted by the adult falcons, named Clara and Fernando, who spent the entire time shrieking and dive-bombing the intruder.

"They come down at 100 mph and scream and protest," Stewart said. "They figure they have repelled an invader successfully. They get right back to being parents."

Now that the falcon chicks have been banded, they will be named.

Youngsters between the ages of 5 to 18, who live or attend school in San Jose, have nominated names for the chicks. The finalists are being selected. The public will be able to vote on them online from Wednesday through May 9, when the winners will be announced.

Clara laid the four eggs on Feb. 25. Three of them hatched on April 8, Easter Sunday, and the fourth the following day.

The next major milestone for the young Falcons who call San Jose City hall home is flying lessons. The falcons are expected to fledge sometime between May 16 and 20.

For a live view of Clara, Fernando and the four chicks, check out the FalconCam: http://bit.ly/IQsi59

HOORAH!!!

The actual forum rules are here; http://sanjoseperegrines.editme.com/ForumRules

BTW Where are the Plan B forum rules posted?

If you would like the SJ falcons forum rule about not complaining about the way it is operated, to be made an official forum rule here, then you are free to make that suggestion.

I estimate your posting volume would end up decreasing by about 95%...

[The Hen]

BTW Where are the Plan B forum rules posted?

I thought you understood from the thread on the editing function only being available for you for one week, fullstop.

Plan B is not your publisher.

Plan B administrators will not edit your posts after a week has past.

Please tell me you understand that concept.

Still Stay Calm and Don't Give An F-U-C-K.

[loCAtek]

So, that's the only Plan B rule? ThX MuX

[Scooter]

If you believe you are free to post however and whatever you choose without any consequences, go for it. We'll see how well that works out for you.

Here's a hint - if you decide you are going to attempt to make life miserable for the administrators of ANY forum, they are always going to get the last laugh. As will the rest of us when you prove once and for all that you just don't have it in you to let go of this vendetta.
