Just curiousity getting the better of me.

Hi winnipeg gal, yes lets wait for Tracy's answer, however this may help while we await her answer. I do recall that she said that Trey and Princess had not been "defending" there territory. I think its in the first part of when she was telling us she had a surprise for us. She was saying that they were scraping, and had not left the area, etc. but were not defending. I did not really know what that meant at the time. I thought it just meant they were tired. (LOL) The significance of them "not defending" at other peregrines passing through however now sounds like a darn good reason to try anything to get them to defend, including fostering a family. To insure they come back next year and also to hopefully lessen the chances of them having to fight for there turf next year. Remember Trey is an old bird by peregrine standards. How horrid to hear that he died from a battle next spring. I am learning so much from Tracy and this forum it is unreal.

Well, when I got to the forum, like everyone else I saw the whole thing there with the titles, so knew the end as I was reading. But it was beautifully written, painted a great picture, and I enjoyed learning what was involved with the attempt. I'm glad to know the chicks are safely back home. Thanks very much for making the attempt, and for sharing the story with us.

Well, I guess wishing those disappearing blog entries were a dream is all for naught bev. I agree I was hoping the same thing. I would like to say thank you to Tracy and Larry and Dennis for telling us about the great adventure even though it didn't turn out quite the way we all hoped. I hope you all get the rest you so richly deserve. Thank you!

Are you all right eagle? I was wondering cause your first couple posts today are very brief. It is a dissapointment. I truly hope you are alright. :)

I will write, once I've had a chance to absorb etc, what it is I am thinking and feeling and can articulate my thoughts about this adventure. Everyone who has posted so far has echoed and aptly articulated what I would probably have said and don't want to be redundent.
As to the Adventure itself and people suggesting it be published in a magazine, my thoughts would be to have it appear in one of the Bird magazine's :)
