The Peregrine Chick:
For those who are thinking the name Cade sounds familiar our West Winnipeg female Beatrix has a brother named Cade. Yup named after the same person.
GCG:
Great choices for names. What is also interesting is Craig Koppie is the person who retrieved the non viable eggs and placed the foster chicks in the nest. I, for one have never watch osprey before, but now I have two to view and of course, Dennis' incredible photos from Gimli. ;D
Alison:
The three chicks have now received their names.
The two girls have been named Cade and Koppie, and the little male has been named Burnham ("Burnsie").
They have been named for the following influential people:
* Tom Cade, Ph. D., founding chairman and director of The Peregrine Fund.
* Craig Koppie, raptor biologist with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Chesapeake Bay Field Office, who has devoted his career to these majestic birds, once nearly eradicated. He is also responsible for arranging medical attention for the male eyas, now named Koppie, as well as banding and studying the falcons at this site for many years.
* William A. Burnham, former president of The Peregrine Fund. He served with the organization from 1974 through his death in 2006.
GCG:
Since banding there is a better camera view at this nest. I just watched a chick walk up to its sibling and walk away with a food drop.
GCG:
My thanks again to you, RCF. We can now watch as they get close to fledging as a family.
