Oh wow, you're up in the high rent district on the 18th floor! I was on the 5th floor. It's a beautiful building, parking is handy, the cafeteria is great, and you don't have to go outside to go to the library (old or new, there is a tunnel) or Tim Horton's. Can you tell I miss being in B&L? Hi Patsy - Gee - I didn't know we'll be in the high rent district! More importantly, we can get to Tim Horton's without going outside??? Oh boy!! I hope I like B&L as much as you did. Stay tuned.

Bess, what floor will you be on at B&L? My company used to occupy all of the 4th and 5th floors there, and half of the 9th floor. I worked in that building for seven years. I think you'll like it there.
Hi Patsy - We'll be on the 18th floor, so the view (when I can see it) should be pretty awesome. The location should shave off around 5 minutes of my commute time, and hopefully I'll run into some watchers as well. As you can tell, I'm trying to look at the good points of moving versus leaving the High Falls and wildlife in the gorge.

So I must say that my favorite falcons are Mariah, Kaver, and their son, Havoc. I loved watching M&K and their offspring when they nested on the Kodak Tower. My office has a view of the former nest box and High Falls. Keep up the good work, and I hope to come out of lurkdom and into watching mode this Spring Sue (Bess) I always enjoyed your posts of what you could see from the Button Factory! Good luck with the move...hopefully you'll have good views from there! As soon as a tour of the new space is allowed, I'll let you know what my view is. In any event, there's always lunch hours and binoculars!

Hi Carol - I miss seeing you, too. Unfortunately, our new office has only interior cubicles for the likes of me, but I'll be outside a corner office, so hopefully I'll be able to take advantage of it from time to time! I'm not sure which direction it will face yet, though. I really don't deal with change very well, but maybe it will turn out that I can see the B&D more often Hope to see you then. At least the weather should be better by then. We can only hope!

Okay - you've shamed me into leaving lurkdom. I go back to the Kodak Birdcam and started watching after Cabot-Sirocco. I don't know if that was 2006 or 2007. So I must say that my favorite falcons are Mariah, Kaver, and their son, Havoc. I loved watching M&K and their offspring when they nested on the Kodak Tower. My office has a view of the former nest box and High Falls. I really miss those times. Our office will be moving this Spring to B&L (now Legacy Tower), so I'm hopeful I'll be able to see Beauty and DC and their offspring on my lunch hours! As for our nature at home, we feed the birds (and squirrels, deer, rabbits, etc.) year round and truly enjoy watching them, especially when they're building their nests and raising their young. We also have a red-tail hawk couple in our back yard, although my husband found a deceased red-tail up the road. I guess we'll have to wait and see if one or both come back to the nest. We also have a Coopers Hawk up the road, as well as hearing owls hooting in the morning while it's still dark. I think they're barn owls. We also have ducks in our creek when it's not frozen and Great Blue Herons flying around. Can't be sure. Anyway, I check Falconcam every day, and confess I am a lurker. I really enjoy all of the reports and all the other posts from our members. Keep up the good work, and I hope to come out of lurkdom and into watching mode this Spring Sue (Bess)
