Kaver Is In The House!
Great news from longtime watcher and Falconcam fan Larry O’Heron, who witnessed Kaver’s return to the nest box this morning following his winter migration! The picture above, captured this morning by the Falconcam cameras, shows Kaver and Mariah in a typical courtship “bowing pose”, and Larry reported hearing the characteristic ee-chupping sounds of courting Peregrines. It seems that Mariah and Kaver are busy re-establishing their pair bond.
We’re ecstatic to see our favorite falcons back together for another year, and the Rochester Falconcam team is very excited to see that 2008 is off to a great start! Now that Kaver has returned, you can look forward to the cameras coming back on very soon.
Last, but not least, a huge Thank-you to Larry and to all of our “snowbirds” who’ve kept an eye on the nest box throughout the cold months of winter.

So glad to see Kaver safely return. What makes these two Falcons so special is being able to get to know them through this site and others from the local watchers and cameras. The reporting on M&K really is like being there. Thank you to everyone who keeps us informed in such descriptive detail!!!

I am so happy our birds are safe and at home. For some reason I thought our falcons stayed here for the winter. Though its nasty out spring must really be around the corner. I can use that!

I’m so excited and appreciative that I can see this all go down AGAIN. My family and I moved to Texas from Rochester in 2000 and miss the excitement of the birds. So glad we’re able to keep track on line. LOVE IT!!!

It is so exciting to see the cams up and running and to see our two little buddies M&K back again. Thanks to all of you who make this possible for all of us here at our computers. Is’nt technology great? It is just like being there. I wish it was possible that sometime before M&K leave that there couldn’t be a meeting place so that all of us watching could join with the great people that make this all possible. I’m excited and I know we are all looking forward to seeing our new babies with their mom and dad soon.

Good season to everybody.
