Some good news. There is a report on the Rochester site about the installation of a new nest box. It sounds like a great location and hopefully Mariah will find it to her liking. They also plan to install a second box at another location to give one more option.
maggieblue:
Thanks for the positive news on Kaver.

Thank you Alison. I just woke up and the first thing I've done is come here to check if you had any news. I'm sad a falcon passed expecially another male :( :( but I am so relieved it's not Mariah's mate Kaver. She's already lost her regular home and didn't want her to have lost her mate too. They're such a fabulous pair, hopeful to know they'll be finding a new home together :D :D :D
Alison:
It's not Kaver!
A great update from Jess this evening:
We're very happy to announce that we're confident the deceased Peregrine that was picked up at the University of Rochester on Saturday, October 4, was not Kaver!
After reviewing the photographs that Carol took of the dead falcon, we were fairly certain. There were just too many differences, especially in the color and shading of the falcon's bill. But the breakthrough came after some additional sleuthing by Carol, Mike Allen and Kathy O. It turns out that the report of the dead falcon came into the University's maintenance department at 4:57 PM on Saturday. Well, as it turned out, Kathy observed Kaver and Mariah together on the chase tower, where he stayed until 5:30! Proof positive came from Kathy's cell phone camera. She took a picture of Mariah and Kaver, and sure enough, the timestamp was 5:30PM. Just to be extra sure, Kathy took another picture tonight to confirm that the timestamp was accurate. You gotta love technology!
Sorry we kept everyone waitng so long for an answer, but we wanted to be as sure as we could be. Now we can say that we're sure. We appreciate everyone's patience through what we know was a very trying time.
