The Peregrine Chick:

That's happened to us as well.  There is one bird out there that I don't want to know if she has died because she was named in memory of a young woman who worked with eagles and wolves.  So long as I don't get a notice, I'm willing to believe she's out there somewhere doing what nice peregrines do ...

Liz:
hmm -- interesting thought.

It was interesting that peregrines were unlikely to nest anywhere near Grand Falls, except that they had that tall water tower.  Sort of ironic that another manmade structure (electric wire) was responsible for Ozzie's death.

Sure sounds familiar doesn't it??  ::)

Yeah, sounds just like us.  Poor Ozzie.  As you can tell, I start at the bottom when I read so when I posted that it was exciting for Grand Forks to have their first birth, I hadn't got to this yet. 

sigh   :(

Liz:
Thanks for that, TPC.  'Despite Terminator’s reputation as a “little witch,” ... Terminator earned her name after she gave a bit of a fight during her banding and naming process,' -- LOL! 

Their first hatch -- how exciting for Grand Forks!!!!!!
