Rochester





Somehow, when watching Kaver and Mariah one wonders. The bond between the two of them is so strong. The greating in the morning. Every morning there are these pictures of the two, touching eachothers bill. It is known that this is a gesture of "affection"often seen between chicks in the nestsituation. This touching eachothers bill is a kind of welcome, of greating, between parents and eyases/juveniles. I have never seen it so frequent in older peregrines as with Kaver and Mariah. It is special, but everything about these two is special.
This morning there was something funny going on as well. Mariah has been standing next to Kaver for almost an hour, trying to get him off the eggs. But we all know how Kaver loves to sit on his eggs. So he didn't move a muscle and stayed put. But she did get her way, but stayed only a few minutes on the eggs and was off again.
