The Torenvalk cam showed the falcons losing their nest to a dove early this month. (go figure). The dove has been incubating for a few weeks now but for the last few days, some crows (I think) have decided to build a nest in the nest box. They are dragging in sticks just like in Edmonton. There have been a few interesting standoffs but for the most part, they stay away from each other. The falcons have also been on the scene at the nest box entrance chasing the crows away.

What if we put another nestbox right next door? Like a 'duplex'? Kind of feel bad now that I see all those branches they've brought in and seeing how hard they are working - *sigh* so hard for all birds, so much of their natural habitat being destroyed and they are all just trying to survive. Maybe they will surprise us all and work it out.

Oh no...Our thoughts and prayers are with you Froona!!
I log on to her blog daily...I thought that maybe she was on a vacation or something as the last blog is from March 23...
Get well Froona !!

I thought something strange was going on. What bad news. I don't know her but follow her blog as much as my translator will allow. She's in my prayers.

Someone else is taking up that task. I don't know what the problem is as I am just using my computer to translate the blog from Dutch. If someone else out there speaks Dutch maybe they could glean a little more information from blog.

I think that some of us are very familiar with Froona both from the S2 site and from her own blog which is normally updated on a daily basis. Neither has been updated since March 23rd and there is news that Froona was admitted to hospital in the Netherlands on March 24th with a serious respiratory condition. She has been in intensive care and on a respirator for the past week. :( Please get better Froona.
