Since Rochester is still snowed in, figured Lurkers Day was still in effect!  I started waaaaay back in 2000-- and until the last year or so still checked regularly but have gotten out of the habit of posting  Nice to see some familiar names -- Aafke and Nora!  There are so many good memories not only of the falcons but also the folks that participated on the Kodak and Yahoo boards -- and the stories we have!

Best nature around me?  We are blessed!  Ospreys, bald eagles, egrets, herons -- all of which I can see from my house.  Local birds are the usual plus some very vocal crows!  It's a beautiful place of nature and we love it.

Y'all are so sweet!  I'll try to be better about checking in and watching the board.  Hope it will be a wonderful year for the Rochester falcons -- all of them!  thumbsup

Haven't been here in a long time -- like so many of us, life gets busy.  Just want to say I miss all of you and the old days of the Kodak board and kfalconcam.  But I'm so glad you have all kept this up and I do remember to check now and then this time of year.  Still miss Mariah and Kaver, but know Beauty and DotCa have captured your hearts as well!

Thanks, Nora -- that one worked.  What wonderful tributes!  Just a reminder that we should always let those we love know that when they are with us.  I know Anne would have loved the comments made about her and I know we will always remember her in our hearts on this board.

I'm so sorry to hear this.  Even though I don't check in too often, I remember all her wonderful posts and her enthusiasm for so much.  It's hard to lose any of our members -- especially one who has been part of this group for so long.  Sympathies to Nora and Anne's family.

Love seeing Beauty on the egg -- but really weird/sad to see poor Unity's abandoned egg back in the corner -- will B push it out, do you suppose?

P.S.  Couldn't figure out how to light a candle? 

Beauty is down to 25 lit candles. Most of them have burned out. Time to light another.

I'll light one for you...

Thank you!

Well, falcon life in Rochester is never boring -- but it is a bit hard on the blood pressure some days.  My prayers for Beauty that she makes a full recovery, but if she must be an educational bird, at least she will still be with us.  We've lost too many recently and it can't help but break your heart.

The good news is that I don't think there are more dedicated people anywhere than you all in Rochester -- few towns (and for that matter, few peregrines) are lucky enough to have so many people caring about them.  Blessings to you all!

yikes!  Sorry to be late in responding -- would love to help!  I'll be out and about almost half of January, but can start to work next week!  What a wonderful project!
