Skygirlblue - what time (Winnipeg time) exactly will the site close down to non-member posting?  Just so folks here don't miss it because of a time zone miscalculation.  Thanks!

We really don't have a cut off time...but my guess is 9 or 10 tonight (East Coast~GMT-4)....If that changes, I will let you know...We've had a very nice response so far, and hope that some of you will be able to stop by....We're trying to be sensitive to the various time zones....so we may go later...for our west coast members...

Thanks...

Not to worry....we will keep the site open until tomorrow evening...to give our own members a chance to post.  We will close non-member posting after that...but anyone may view it at any time after that...so please stop by....

I won't be able to be online either tomorrow :(
I will be thinking of Froona flying free and my deepest sympathy to her friends, family and falcon followers.

I was so very sorry to read about Froona. She will be very much missed by so many people around the world. She had such a passion for peregrines, and was always willing to share her knowledge.

It is not possible for me to be online tomorrow morning, but I will be thinking of Froona.

Thanks SBG, I will be tuning in - I'll be at work but I'll be there as long as I can possibly be.  Still hard to believe she's gone, I still go to her site everyday - don't know what I expect to see but it's been a habit for so long.. :'(

Tomorrow is Froona's Funeral...2:30 pm Netherland's time.  The Bird Cams Around the World forum will also honor Froona and Celebrate her life.  We will begin at 8:30 am (East coast, GMT-4) to coincide with the funeral.  We would like to invite those of you who wish, to join us.  The forum will be Public so that anyone who wishes to view and post may do so.

Arm yourself with a kleenex box before watching this. It is really very beautiful.

Such a great loss.  Her passion and love for the peregrine is legendary, especially in Europe.  She has been such a wonderful teacher and advocate for her dear falcons....I will dearly miss her and all her contributions to the falcon world and our Bird Cams Around the World forum.  We were so blessed to have her as a "team member"....but I know that her spirit will linger on in everything she has touched while on this earth.  Go in peace, Froona...for I know your beloved animals that have gone before you, await you with joy..

I will miss Froonas words of wisdom.
when you wanted to know something she was there with a video , or a re[port , or a picture.

The world of falcon followers will miss here dearly.  She was a true treasure.
She helped me cam watch by some of her words of positive wisdom when things in the cam world were not going as we would have liked. 

soar free Froona.  I know you will be watching .

Oh what a shock. I knew she must be very seriously ill from the initial report but still shock. Life is so fragile.

Truly heartbreaking  :'(
My thoughts and prayers and with her friends and family.  Froona's spirit will live on in the skies!  "Fly Free"

I will quote a line from Forrest Gump (I have already used this quote in another thread but, this time, it seems more fitting to this situation)

"Dear God, make me a bird.  So I could fly far. Far far away from here."

A very sad loss to the world of Peregrines and humans alike. Her family will miss her terribly.  May they hold onto each other as they make their way through this difficult time.
