[mou] Duluth Baby Peregrines--report from the bander

[Laura Erickson]

I found out today that the baby Peregrines in downtown Duluth have 
names.  The three females are Nora (P-76), Diane (P-77) and Maggie 
(P-78).  The male is Davey (C-73).  Robert Anderson, the bander, put an 
annual report about his Peregrine banding on the Raptor Resource Project 
website.

Also, one of the babies, I think Davey, had his photo on this week's Duluth 
Reader Weekly newspaper.  You can see that photo and get links to lots of 
information about the babies here:

I'm working with Bob Anderson to figure out how Binoculars.com can provide 
a nest cam for these birds next year.

There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of 
birds.  There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of 
nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter.
