[mou] Peregrine Watch, Duluth

[Debbie Waters]

Peregrine Watch, Duluth!

An interpretive project called "Peregrine Watch" has been started in Duluth
as a collaboration between Hawk Ridge and the City of Duluth.  The pair of
Peregrine Falcons nesting on the Greysolon Building in downtown Duluth and
their 4 offspring are the focus of this project, and the response so far has
been amazing!  Already there are people that are visiting daily, and many
who work downtown are "lunching" with the peregrines.  Another function of
Peregrine Watch is to keep an eye on the young ones as they learn to fly and
hunt downtown, rescuing them when needed.

More information can be found on our website, www.hawkridge.org.  Click on
the Peregrine Watch image.

Julie O'Connor is on site Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10am to 3pm,
weather permitting.  She expects to continue the project through mid-July.
She can be reached at 218.348.2291 or peregrines@hawkridge.org.
