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)

Thanks Sue (Bess) That sound very nice, we love to hear from you about all the nice birds and specially from Beauty and Dot.
I'm pretty sure you wrote before, because of your name Sue (Bess)

I've been a semi-lurker since late 2004. I'm not big on writing, so I don't post often.
I got really hooked on the old Kodak cam watching the antics of Aconcagua aka "Little Bit".
Most of my question were always answered by reading what others wrote. That saved me the trouble of asking.

If I remember wel, isn't your name Linda?

greetings Aafke

yes it is

Hi Linda, nice to see you, you see we still know you.

 Last years memorable moments  were watching Nettie's interaction with Nor'easter after he met up with the wall. She was such a devoted sister.
 Most of our bird visitor this year are woodpeckers, cardinals and blue jays.. My neighbor has a coopers hawk that's a regular. It took him a while to figure out why he kept finding bird parts in his lawn.

So nice to read these posts.

Here is the Puzzle of the Week 249 - Long-tailed Tit

The Long-tailed Tit is a very small bird, this one likes to come in my garden and to eat from the pine cone that I filled with suet stuff. I don't think that there are a lot of birds that have pink feathers, but the Long-tailed Tit has them.
