Joyce,

Thanks to Kodak for putting this back on line and to you for posting the link to it.  This webcast was one of the high points in the history of the Rochester Falcons, and I will never forget being a part of it nine years ago.  It may have also been the beginning of the falconcam community.  Certainly, we all talked about it for months afterward.

Some things really changed.  In the webcast, Dennis Money remarked that, " At Kodak, the falcons are very mild-mannered falcons."  A few years later, hard hats were being knocked off and shirts ripped when chicks were removed on banding day.  Perhaps M&K were, in effect, taught that a stout defence resulted in the return of their offspring!

As they say, "Thanks for the memories!"
